Your recent holiday on Wren - Eurasian Wren from Hilperton

Hilperton marina staff were very helpful, both on pick up and return of boat. When I booked the boat we wanted was not available, ABC said we could have a bigger boat at the same rate as the smaller one, however we changed dates and got the one we wanted.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Eurasian Wren from Hilperton

Boat, brilliant, canal to Bath a bit of a disappointment as there are so many live aboard boats, many of which should go to the scrap yard, along with all their junk. Not a good look.

Your recent holiday on Swallow - Red Rumped Swallow from Goytre Wharf

Another fantastic boating holiday with ABC. The Brecon and Monmouth canal is stunning - probably the most beautifaul one of the many we have cruised . Red Rumped Swallow was a great boa.t The staff at Goytre Wharf are very friendly and the set up there is very good. Can also recommend breakfast at the cafe.

We were very pleased with our overall experience, right from the booking process to how helpful and accommodating everyone was, even storing our luggage for us. We all loved being on the boat for the 4 nights, the scenery etc was outstanding.

Your recent holiday on Eagle - Spotted Eagle from Whitchurch Marina

Very good holiday on the Shroppie and Llangollen branch. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Couple of minor niggles - one leisure battery was faulty which meant we had to charge the batteries more than usual - this was fixed when reported. A little worrying as one faulty battery wired in parallel with others means that large currents can flow to the faulty battery and potentially a fire risk from the hydrogen and oxygen produced by the electrolysis - not to mention general heating of the faulty cells. Ideally a fuse should be there for each battery when wired in parallel. Also I noted that the battery voltage dropped to below 10V overnight - this will lead to sulfation of the good cells and reduce battery life. The rope 'buffer/fender' at the stern dropped and fouled the rudder - we managed to pull it up and hold it with cable ties, which worked. It would have been nice to book a holiday going from one boatyard to another i.e. a one way trip rather than go half the distance and then back again. probably a logistical nightmare but would be a good idea if manageable. Other than the above we had a great time and the boat was comfortable.
