So don't take our word for it, see what over 2000 of our customers are saying about us!
Main concern with this boat was poor design of the stern area. Specifically the controls are too far from the tiller for good control when manoeuvring or taking emergency steps when needed. Also the position of the steps down into the boat make safe alighting between the stern and land and vice versa potentially dangerous. In our experience this problem is avoided by locating the access centrally from the stern and having a step ladder rather than ordinary steps. We had one accident arising from this design and felt the need to repeatedly remind crew to be aware of the fall danger. We found the boat otherwise reliable and easy to manage.

The service from the Wharf staff was amazing - especially rescuing us on the last day when we got stuck. The boat was great - despite a few bruises from the narrow passages. The only thing that reduced the rating was that the section of the K&A we travelled was much more testing than we anticipated.

We had a great holiday. Baldrick is a lovely boat which was well prepared by the boat yard. The boat yard staff were really helpful and gave lots of really good advice. The layout of the boat was great for three couples and we appreciated the excellent mattresses on the beds.

Fantastic company! Every member of staff very friendly, professional and helpful. From the moment we spoke on the phone to the very end of the holiday the superb customer care was consistent throughout. The boat was immaculately clean with all we needed for a week's cruising and we had no problem at all with collection or return process.

Lovely boat. Good service from wrenbury staff but called at another abc marina when ‘toilet full’ light was flashing. We Apparently entered marina ‘uninvited’ was was rudely told off about it by staff. They did the pump out but made us feel very uncomfortable at the same time :(

It's disappointing to hear that a member of staff made you feel this way and your comments have been forwarded to the Marina Manager to look into this. You are able to use the facilities at any ABC hire base whilst on one of our boats. We are pleased to hear that you were happy with the service you received from Wrenbury and that you enjoyed your time on our Eagle Class boat. Thank you for your feedback.

ABC Boat Hire were excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for narrow boats shone through, which set us all up for a fun week. The boat was immaculately clean and there was everything we needed on board. Space was obviously at a premium with 12 of us on one boat but everything was set out perfectly. We had an excellent week and were welcomed back to the marina by the same staff who were again really friendly and excited to hear how our trip had gone.

We had an engine break down just a few days into our trip which perhaps could had been avoided if basic engine checks had been done. ( Broken alternator belt)

Thank you for your feedback. Every boat receives an engine check as part of the turnaround procedure between hires. Unfortunately technical issues do occasionally occur and this why every Marina has an on call 24 hour engineer. We hope you will be back to enjoy another holiday with us again soon.

We had a wonderful holiday on the corn bunting canal boat ,and would love to do it all again next year. The only complaint we had was, that the boat smelt quite badly of a stale doggy smell. We thought that opening all the windows and doors would solve the problem but the first night we could hardly sleep for the bad smell. Next day it was straight to the supermarket for some air fresheners which worked quite well. We did notice that if the boat was closed up for a few hours the smell was still there. I think the carpets and upholstery should be cleaned a little more often. Other than that it was a great experience.

Thank you for your feedback which will be forwarded to the Marina. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your holiday experience on the Kennet & Avon and we hope you will be back to see us again soon.
