So don't take our word for it, see what over 10,000 of our customers are saying about us!
ABC where fantastic. They looked after us so well. We collected the barge and had never done anything like this before. Chris gave us a great tutorial, very informative.. they offer 24 hour call out service if there is a problem with the barge, which we had to use and Josh was excellent and very prompt…would definitely use this company again.. thanks so much for a wonderful experience ABC

The trip was fine as far as ABC were concerned but have recently found the canals and locks in a poor state and apparently lacking investment.

The boat was well prepared for us, all clean and tidy, and everybody was very helpful. the lock model was well presented and explained. The shop was full of typical boating sundries and holiday mode oddments.

Boat was well provided for with linen etc,, very clean and tidy, all as advertised. Staff very helpful, and plenty of manual information for all occasions. Assistance leaving the marina, and a readiness to answer all questions. The Llangollen canal is particularly scenic, and its stopping points, e.g. Coles Mere, Whitchurch, Ellesmere, Chirk and Llangollen just leave you wanting to return for more.

Have been hiring narrow boats for many years, - first time with abc and they stand out as clear leader in the field. Boat was Immaculate and well maintained, (ropes were even “cheesed” down). The team at Aldermaston was first class, - friendly and very well organised. Nothing was too much trouble and, no time wasting (we were able to take maximum advantage of our holiday time). Thanks to all concerned.

Sehr kompetentes und überaus freundliches Personal. Fragen wurden umgehend beantwortet, unaufgefordert wurde Reparaturbedarf erkannt und behoben, noch bevor wir darauf hinweisen konnten.

The boat was well fitted out and all the bedding and towels we requested were on board, more than we needed to be honest. The boat was in great working order, I had no issues with the boat at all. The kitchen was well stocked with all you needed. The only thing the kitchen could do with is a non-stick frying pan and a pasta serving spoon. Because the double bed is made up of two single beds, one with an extension, the person sleeping on the shorter section, often lies on the spring end part, which is not as comfortable, but I'm not sure what the best solution is.

Everything was very good, thoroughly enjoyed holiday on the canal.

Would definitely use ABC boathire again and would recommend them to friends who want a nice relaxing holiday.

Excellent service as we have come to expect. Katy at the Boatyard was really friendly and helpful

I phoned the boat a few times, to ask questions about various thing and each time got all the answers and guidance that I needed. About routes and items on the boat. Was warmly welcomed when we arrived and shown the necessary safety induction.

We've been boating for over 20 years and sadly now there are more boats on the system. there are so many moored boats for miles on end which makes the journey slightly less pleasant.

Es war rundherum ein gelungener Urlaub auf einem sehr gut ausgestatteten Boot.
