"We've had an amazing week. The canal boat was spotlessly clean and well-equipped. The explanations were clear, and the ladies at the reception were very friendly and helped where they could. The shop doesn't offer much, so if you need groceries, you'll definitely need to go to a supermarket. We come from the Netherlands, so we had some tricky questions, but they did their best to help us as well as possible. My husband had a little accident getting off the boat and badly bruised his ankle. We were helped well over the phone by the people at Alvechurch Marina, and ultimately had a great week! We'll definitely do this again for sure!"

Thank you so much for sharing your experience — we’re absolutely delighted to hear you had a perfect holiday! It’s wonderful to know the boat was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and that our team at reception made you feel welcome and supported throughout your stay. We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback about the shop and are glad you were able to find what you needed elsewhere. We're especially pleased that our team at Alvechurch Marina could assist you promptly over the phone after your husband's accident — we hope he’s recovering well. Despite the challenges with water levels, broken locks, and even a tree in the canal, it’s fantastic to hear that you still had such a memorable and adventurous week. Operating locks and bridges is all part of the fun, and we’re so happy your son enjoyed it too — we’d love to welcome you all back again soon! Many thanks, ABC Boat Hire

Unfortunately, due to the low water level, the sailing routes were limited, but despite that, we sailed for a good number of hours every day and saw an incredible amount. We had many experiences, including a tree in the water that made us lay still for a few hours. A broken lock also made us stop for a while, and the people from Canal and Rivertrust were working hard to solve the problem. So many friendly people everywhere. And then there's the adventure of operating the locks and bridges yourself! Our 13-year-old son had a fantastic time and wants to come back again, just like us!

The boat was ready for us, clean and well maintained. The boatyard staff were friendly and helpful and responded promptly to minor issues during our cruise. My only gripe is the very early return time which caused "panic packing", causing us to forget completely to clear the fridge.

The marina staff were really friendly and efficient. They were so helpful when we had a problem. The only slight criticism I have is that the fittings on the boat were a bit tired.
