Very fair value for money.

Communication and advice before the trip was timely and helpful. Information they sent was also helpful in planning the trip. They let us know about water level problems in advance and were always available for calls or would ring back.

Great boat - all new with good improvements. Problem was water levels in canals that restricted destinations and timings. They did what they could.

"We've had an amazing week. The canal boat was spotlessly clean and well-equipped. The explanations were clear, and the ladies at the reception were very friendly and helped where they could. The shop doesn't offer much, so if you need groceries, you'll definitely need to go to a supermarket. We come from the Netherlands, so we had some tricky questions, but they did their best to help us as well as possible. My husband had a little accident getting off the boat and badly bruised his ankle. We were helped well over the phone by the people at Alvechurch Marina, and ultimately had a great week! We'll definitely do this again for sure!"

Thank you so much for sharing your experience — we’re absolutely delighted to hear you had a perfect holiday! It’s wonderful to know the boat was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and that our team at reception made you feel welcome and supported throughout your stay. We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback about the shop and are glad you were able to find what you needed elsewhere. We're especially pleased that our team at Alvechurch Marina could assist you promptly over the phone after your husband's accident — we hope he’s recovering well. Despite the challenges with water levels, broken locks, and even a tree in the canal, it’s fantastic to hear that you still had such a memorable and adventurous week. Operating locks and bridges is all part of the fun, and we’re so happy your son enjoyed it too — we’d love to welcome you all back again soon! Many thanks, ABC Boat Hire

Unfortunately, due to the low water level, the sailing routes were limited, but despite that, we sailed for a good number of hours every day and saw an incredible amount. We had many experiences, including a tree in the water that made us lay still for a few hours. A broken lock also made us stop for a while, and the people from Canal and Rivertrust were working hard to solve the problem. So many friendly people everywhere. And then there's the adventure of operating the locks and bridges yourself! Our 13-year-old son had a fantastic time and wants to come back again, just like us!

The boat was ready for us, clean and well maintained. The boatyard staff were friendly and helpful and responded promptly to minor issues during our cruise. My only gripe is the very early return time which caused "panic packing", causing us to forget completely to clear the fridge.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear you had an excellent holiday and enjoyed cruising along the beautiful Llangollen Canal. It’s great to know the boat was clean, well-maintained, and ready for you, and that our team was friendly and responsive throughout your journey. We really appreciate your feedback about the early return time — we understand how that can feel a bit rushed, and we’ll certainly take your comments on board as we look at ways to improve the experience. Llangollen is such a special place with so much to explore, and we’re so pleased you had the chance to enjoy it. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing adventure! Many thanks, ABC Boat Hire
