Everything was perfect. The staff were very friendly (especially Richard at the Whitchurch marina who showed us around the boat and explained how everything worked as it was our first time), the boat was well equipped and in great condition, and we had the best honeymoon we could have asked for. We will be back for another boat holiday for sure.

From the moment we arrived at the Marina we were welcomed, good friendly staff advising and explaining the boat etc. Very helpful. The boat was extremely clean, especially with Covid in mind, felt the utmost cleaning process had been made. All the Eco cleaning products were in place to be used whilst on our holidays. Every member of staff we came across were polite and friendly which gave a good happy feeling to start our holiday, but also very secure in the knowledge that we had been given the necessary instructions to stay safe. Also given tel no if we required assistance.

The holiday was a great experience for fist time narrow boaters. More help with locks would have been appreciated.

Excellent hand over and return, fantastic time on Sanderling. Volunteers manning the locks were fantastic, very supportive and made the whole journey to the Kelpies and back seemless.

No hassle and no issues with hire and staff were very helpful and accommodating. Boat was clean and tidy and we were able to board quickly and start our holiday without any difficulties.

We felt that the vessel was showing it's age and some aspects of the handover cleaning/preparation were superficial/rushed. Battery power seemed to diminish despite limited use of toaster/microwave. The engine was always necessary for toast at breakfast! The pump used to evacuate the shower basin was noisy and not very effective. Our main disappointment was with the route we chose. The availability of mooring on the K&A towards Bristol was severely limited by resident boats. This impacted on pleasure and cruising speed so we didn't achieve the distance we had hoped. Mooring on the Avon was limited by availability of suitable bank space. It would have been helpful if we had been warned when picking up the boat. Very few pubs/inns were providing a normal food service despite no warnings on their websites. Realise that ABC can do little about this...!

We enjoyed the boat and the trip experience. The pick-up was excellent, boat well cleaned and kitchenware immaculate - probably the best we have ever had. Two minor criticisms, I couldn't get my hands in the oven gloves!! Also we found the steering much heavier than other boats we have had, this combined with a longer craft than ordered did cause some difficulty in tight situations, Well that's my excuse for making a right pig's ear (I nearly forgot the cross wind!) of between the staircase locks in Stourport.

Booking process was clear and efficient. Staff were friendly and accommodated our large group. The marina was flexible on return time due to an unforeseen canal closure.

The boat was clean and comfortable, we were given a thorough training session on arrival and the staff were helpful and friendly

No radiators had their thermostatic valves fitted so heating was uncontrolable.

Amazing holiday, very clean and all staff made us feel very welcome, they couldn't do enough for us, will definitely be back at Blackwater, they are a credit to your company!

The Canals were unkept with not many tying up places. The water points were often blocked by private boats, Hardly any places to put rubbish, definitely no places to recycle. The map given us was often inaccurate re: tie ups & water points. The information given us re: turning @ Edinburgh Quay was incorrect!
