So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Although not ABC's fault and there is nothing they can do about it; the trip was curtailed due to problems with the maintenance of the canals by CRT. This was the fourth year we have tried to do the Cheshire ring. The alternative extended Four Counties ring was not possible due to the "planned" repairs at Tyrley Locks. Therefore it ended up as a trip to Birmingham and back along the Trent and Mersey.

The holiday boat provided by ABC is fine. It was clean, well maintained and there were no major problems. The boat is a bit dated, the inverter was unable to hold a charge in the evening and tick over was set high leading to a annoying vibration. The inventory is good and the towels and bedding plentiful. We are aware of the minor kitchen issues as we use ABC regularly; so we brought things like a decent frying pan with us. The staff at Anderton are very good, they are professional, efficient and helpful.

Very friendly staff, great boat, ready on time and lots of local knowledge and advice with routes and moorings. Very helpful and quick to communicate when necessary. Personal touches much appreciated especially anniversary celebration card! Also dealt with locks and strong stream advice on our behalf, for which we were very grateful.

Scenic trip on River Nene to Overton Lake via Whittlesey and Peterborough as well as visiting Upwell and Outwell on Middle Levels due to strong stream advice during holiday.

We did 7-days on the canal and made it up to Brecon and back to Goytre leisurely. We had plenty of stops along the way and a very relaxing time. The boat was perfect everything as described.

When we arrived everything went seamlessly as we were educated on the boat and procedures. We were gone within an hour. Excellent.

We decided to complete the Warwickshire Ring but the landslide at Brinklow meant that we had to change to Anti Clockwise and hope the repairs were completed in time! They were - just!! Also the Aston Locks were out of action so we couldn't go through the Birmingham Gas Basin. More importantly we had a water leak in the engine area which necessitated an Engineer Call out - which was very quick and efficient. We had to check the engine regularly as the pipe continued to leak!

The design of the boat interior was not well enough thought out. When I looked for a place to sit down to put my shoes on the only place I could find was on the toilet. The boat was rated for 12 people. I can't even conceive of how that could be an enjoyable experience. There we 5 of us and we found it very difficult to move around without other having to stop what they were doing and move out of the way. The seating in the dining area made it impossible for those sitting on the seat behind the table to get in and out. It would seat 4 people but for people in from the end to get out, everyone between them and the end had to get up & out so they could get out. When it wasn't raining, having some folding chairs to use on the back would been i major improvement. I would never rent a boat with this design again

The journey across the aqueducts, winding through the countryside was amazing, very relaxing and easy. A great weekend break over 3 nights.

From the moment we arrived, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Despite arriving over an hour early, the boat was prepared and ready for us. The man who took us through the boat and its "workings" made everything very understandable and easy to follow. A very pleasant start to the week.
