So don't take our word for it, see what over 10,000 of our customers are saying about us!
Staff, handover and barge was First Class, A1. Staff helped us plan our route and travelling times to get where we wanted to be. Handover was very thorough and I can’t say enough how friendly all the staff at ABC boat hire were. Went above and beyond, even giving our party of 8 a lift into town on our last night after they had finished work

Very good trip, only one downside, the locks on the broad canal were very tough to open but we got there!

Exceptional service from staff who went above and beyond with their service. The boat was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for a large party of 8. Can’t thank ABC Boat Hire enough. Absolute professionalism throughout.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2nd experience with ABC as we did with our 1st! When we handed back the boat (Shore Lark) based at Aldermasten we gave some verbal feedback to a maintenance man in the office. He was very appreciative and said this was the kind of feedback they found very useful. Namely that despite keeping the engine running for an hour after mooring the battery lost it's charge each night which then tripped the inverter.(the fridge went off about 2 30 each night) Also the TV at the rear of the boat did not work all week despite many attempts. Apart from these frustrations the 4 of us had a great time and look forward to our next canal adventure!

Good communication before the trip. Handover in office was hurried and it was difficult to take in all the information. Handover in boat was not very thorough but we did tell them that we were experienced. The on board manual was excellent.

The boat was good, comfortable and handled well. There were a couple of minor issues - but this did not detract from the experience.

We did the four counties ring and the Anderton boat lift. We enjoyed the wide range of countryside, canal features and interesting towns.

The service at the marina was very efficient we arrived early and they enabled us to get away early after listening to the instuctions and reminders. On Saturday morning we noticed the engine coolant level had dropped almost out of sight we topped up with water as per instructions at our takeover briefing,throughout Saturday the level dropped and was topped up again this was reported and arrangements to meet the mechanic at 1.15 on Sunday afternoon. Repairs were made and we were asked not to start engines for 24 hours or at least until morning. When attempting to start in the morning the engine wouldn't turnover so remembering our briefing we used the red key to link the batteries, that worked. When we came to stop engines in the evening the key wouldn't work the engine wouldn't stop. After a phone call and following instructions from the engineer we stopped engines, it was suggested that the engineer could meet us to try and fix the problem but we decided we didn't what to lose any more of our holiday time waiting on a mechanic. For the rest of the holiday we had to climb into the engine compartment to start and stop the engine. On return to the wharf on Friday we were unable to settle our fuel bill using my card following three attempts including a phone call which cut out so had to hunt around for cash, this was reportedly due to a poor connection.
