So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Fantastic boat and a swift professional handover. Location is perfect and everyone we met at Aldermaston wharf including reception were very friendly and welcoming.

The boat needed some work and seemed tired based on other similar boats and trips we have taken with ABC. There was a water link in the roof in the kitchen and the fridge had an off smell. The mattresses were tired and need replacing.

It's a shame but last time was so good this time the boat was not cleaned very well and even the grill had food remains in it. When we told them we were told what do you mean its been cleaned the cleaner came out and said it was not done very well. Not ABC fault but the toilet was blocked with wetwipes *not from us) that stank the boat out and kept fusing the toilet but we were made to feel like it was our fault on the calls we made. On return we were just looked at and was told don't you read the signs saying no morning but not told where to .go. Most of the staff were friendly and polite but not all. Two years ago we did the Stafford ring spent less than £90 on fuel this time we did the Avon ring and it cost £200.

I'd recommend ABC boathire. We had a fabulous week in a modern, well equipped narrow boat. All staff were kind and helpful. The boat was clean, the beds comfy, the bedding pristine. The kitchen is well equipped. Our concern was ensuring the battery was kept topped up so we could flush toilets, run the microwave and have a cold fridge. With care this was achieved but the fridge would be best running off gas as it wasn't cold enough for me. We self-catered most nights so had a lot of food to keep cold. Otherwise, only positives.

Boat breaking down and not an ABC boat so lacking in various respects
20 Sep 2023
Service and people very good but could not give 5 stars as boat broke down and were disappointed with not being an ABC boat.

With the exception of the oven, which annoyingly didn't work, all else was just fine. Mechanically the boat was great and the canal was excellent.
