So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Enjoyed our trip however very difficult river navigation not fully warned about. Some very tricky locks that weren't filling up made it frustrating. Wouldn't recommend this route for novices. Boat layout not easy for 8 of us. Life jackets and some bedding not fully prepared at start of trip. No follow up since.

We had the most lovely time on board The Red Tailed Finch from Goytre Wharf. The boat was well equipped, clean and towels were fresh and linen clean. The guys at ABC boat hire went above and beyond for us after we had left a bag in the car with medication in. I called the wharf and told them I could open the car from my phone if someone could grab it and bring it to us else it was an hour and 20 minute walk there and back for me or a 6 mins car ride. They were amazing and it was no trouble for them to bring it to us, he wouldn't even accept money for petrol from me! Absolutely above and beyond service and we were so very grateful. We will defiently use ABC Boat Hire again.

Thank you for your five star rating, we are hope you enjoyed the Llangollen as much as we do.

A very nice boat (just a couple of years old) and helpful, friendly staff made it one of our best holidays. The Llangollen Canal is known for its spectacular aqueducts but we liked the quiet, pretty sections even more.

Great service once again from ABC. Clear and straightforward booking system with a discount for returning customers despite it being at least 10 years since our last trip (we won't leave it so long next time!). The app provided useful information as we planned our holiday. The staff at Anderton Marina were really helpful, and Gaven provided a friendly, thorough and appropriate handover. Blackcap Warbler was everything we expected and more. Two of our three couples were able to enjoy the slightly wider doubles. The shower rooms have developed a long way since our first experience in the mid 1980s and are virtually 3* hotel standard. We cruised from Northwich to Middlewich to Nantwich and back over the four days. There were just enough locks to keep us engaged but plenty of time to soak up the scenery on this lovely elevated and open route.

Excellent service from ABC Gailey. A very informative instruction manual was provided which enabled us to resolve a couple of minor issues which probably related to the fact that it was early season and the boat had not been used for a while. The boatyard also responded very quickly when our engine failed to start one morning, and gave us a work-around if it were to happen again (though their initial resolution clearly worked).
