Hired a 58' narrowboat for 7 nights and loved every minute. The team at Kings Orchard Marina were fantastic. Big thankyou to Lee for showing us the boat and controls. Wouldnt hesitate to hire another in the future.

ABC is a tops operator, clean and perfectly functioning boats. We had lots of fun on our canal boat trip to Bath and back.

The only down side was that it rained all the day on the Thursday, but the waterproofs where excellent - remember to take wellies next time.

Positives: The staff were very friendly and helpful. The boat was clean and well stocked. Staff took us through the basics of steering, mooring etc. Beautiful scenery, quiet and not too much traffic. Negatives: we had great difficulty turning the boat around, we had not been instructed and only managed it due to the patience and help of another boat owner, who talked us through the process, ie turn the engine off and use the poles. There were not many mooring places with access to facilities eg eateries. As we were not able to set off until 4pm on the Friday, we only had just over 2 hours before dark and had to stop in the middle of nowhere! Fortunately we had some food with us. Returning the boat at 9am is impractical so we returned it the day before, hence we only had 2 nights instead of 3.

Prompt and friendly service on arrival at the marina and at the end as we returned the boat. Very good!

The boat could have been cleaner, the WiFi didn’t work once, the sink leaked and a curtain guard had a sharp edge in the bedroom, so passing it was awkward.

Traveled from Kings orchard via Great Haywood and on to stone.

From the moment we arrived, the staff could not be more helpful. Top spec boat at a fantastic price. I would recommend ABC to anyone.

We thought the handover with Allan was brilliant.He was very thourgh, patient with our many questions and a very nice man installing confidence in us all that we would be fine and we were. Alll emails and physical contact with staff with regard to our holiday was really good with great friendly and straight forward information. All loch keepers were really helpful and mostly gave clear concise instruction. only one blip when returning to Falkirk Wheel but it was managed. Falkirk wheel is amazing. Good canal side cafe and pub as well as supermarket. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip just a bit expensive for a few days but a wonderful experience.
