So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
This was our 5th trip with ABC and all previous trips were excellent. Unfortunately, this one was disappointing. We travelled on the Flutist Wren from Springwood Haven between 7th-14th October. The boat was in good order and the initial guide was super and very helpful ( he was to first ABC instructor to teach me how to tie a boat off properly without knots - so helpful - perhaps make it part of the introduction). The main disappointments relate to the TV signal. We don't go on a canal cruise expecting perfect reception but having the same boat last year on the same route (Ashby canal) and the same mooring points with excellent reception we were very disappointed the we had zero reception throughout the trip because the receiver disc was damaged. Additionally, the fridge temperature control was faulty and some of our fridge food was partially freezing. Finally, the Wifi provision is so limited that it is is not worth bothering with. I would be happy to pay a bonus payment for decent connectivity

I have given them 4 stars for the trip instead of 5, simply because we were boating novices, and we weren't sure how far we could go and still get back in time, another time we will be more confident.

Very friendly, helpful. Well equipped boat. Only issue was the heating which didnt appear to work. Chilly at night. Had a great time despite this. The kids loved it.

We hired our boat in mid October at the end of the season. The boat was very clean and well kitted out with all you could need. Central heating was fantastic in the cooler weather and very welcome in the evenings are cruising the cut all day. I have ave no hesitation in recommending ABC boat hire and we will be using them again.

ABC service was excellent, first time for us to have a barge holiday we both really enjoyed it. However the beds on our Swift Alpine were uncomfortable for us.
