Boat could have been a bit cleaner, lots of cobwebs. Some lights not working properly and a bed collapsed.

Sooty Swift is a very modern narrowboat. Beautifully appointed and well equipped. Very clean indeed. The heating system (only needed once) operated at the touch of a switch & very efficient. The staff are very professional, friendly and efficient. Highly recommended and will definitely book again

Friendly, easygoing and helpful staff from beginning to end and a clean boat. We would recommend ABC and chose them next time again. The boat was a bit old and worn and the marina slightly tired but these two comments don’t weigh too much against the overall positive impression.
