ABC Boat Hire - Alvechurch Marina - Golden Plover - April 2024 We have recently returned from a wonderful two week boating holiday on the Golden Plover narrow boat from Alvechurch Marina. It’s the first time we’ve booked a holiday with ABC Boat Hire and it certainly won’t be our last! We were most impressed with every aspect of our holiday and it far exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, the staff dealing with our holiday were polite, friendly and very knowledgeable. We were kept well informed of all booking arrangements promptly by email and phone and were provided with comprehensive information regarding our forthcoming holiday. On arrival at Alvechurch Marina, Katie and the other staff in Reception were very polite, helpful and welcoming. We were provided with a comprehensive guide book, which included full operating procedures for our boat, together with contact numbers in case of any queries or emergencies. We were then given a tour of our boat and informative boat induction before using our boat for the first time. We were very impressed with our boat, Golden Plover, which was modern, clean and immaculate. It was well equipped and furnished throughout to a very high standard. We were very lucky with the weather during our two week holiday and had a wonderful time meandering along the Worcester & Birmingham Canal, then the Stratford Upon Avon Canal, relaxing and watching the world go by. During our holiday we experienced various locks and tunnels and also visited a few local pubs en route, which provided excellent food and drink. After two weeks, we were totally chilled out and relaxed! Just perfect! We would thoroughly recommend ABC Boat Hire and have already booked another boating holiday with them next year! Many thanks to all the team for helping to make our holiday so memorable and fun! All the best, Gary and Julia

The boat, canal rout and towns could have been more enjoyable! We spent 7 nights on the Llangollen canal and we felt it was the perfect time to get away and relax on the canal. The boat was extremely well equipped and we had an amazing time. We received the boat in amazing condition inside and out. ABC Boat Hire takes great care in maintaining their boats.

ABC Boat Hire made our first canal boat holiday an amazing experience. All of the staff at Whitchurch Marina were prompt, polite, knowledgeable and made the experience even better! The boat was extremely clean and well maintained. The handover process was thorough and informative. I could not have asked for a better experience!

I had a really relaxing few days with my grown sons. It was a first time experience for them and I am confident they will want to repeat.

The whole experience was easy and stress free, from picking up the boat to returning it. There was no fuss about minor breakages or any significant additional charges for fuel.

If I'm going to be really picky, the beds weren't the most comfortable we've ever slept on, and the inability to get a proper coffee back at Goytre Wharf on our return before 10.30am was disappointing. But these were minor issues compared to how fabulous everything else was.
