Very well fitted out boat. Excellent mattresses, bathroom fitments and cooker. Shame about restrictions on lock opening but the fault of the water shortages.

Very well fitted boat. Excellent mattresses, bathroom fitments and cooker. Very pleasant boatyard staff. Good route but a shame about restricted sailing. Only the weather to blame.

Our narrowboat was in perfect condition, clean and very comfortable for the 6 of us. It's the biggest narrowboat we've ever hired but we quickly got used to manouevering it and we sure appreciated the 2 full bathrooms on board. We didn't need a pump-out during the week and in fact only filled with water a couple of times. We did the mini-ring through Birmingham, and really enjoyed it. We were a bit nervous about Birmingham, but took the marina's advice about where to moor up, and all went well. We were surprised that the canals were really quiet, we expected a lot of action being mid-summer and with so many other canals experiencing closures. We rarely had to wait at locks, and never for very long, and no problems finding morring spots within walking distance from the excellent recommended pubs.

It’s great to know our team kept you well-informed and that the boat met all your expectations—especially with the added comfort of two full bathrooms!

Cannot fault our recent experience hiring a narrowboat from ABC at Alvechurch. The team kept us notified of canal closures and were ready with alternate route suggestions if we needed them. The handover was thorough, the boat in perfect condition and contained all required amenities. They gave us some great recommendations for spots to eat and a fantastic bakery. We'll be looking to hire with them next year!

The orientation and accommodations were top notch. We knew nothing about driving a Narrowboat and felt like pros. They were incredible to assist us with route planning and timing.
