Your recent holiday on Swift - Little Swift from Gayton

Easy parking and unloading for the car. Helpful staff. Lovely area. The boat was very clean and modern. The shower tray is a little shallow though and ran the risk of overflow.

Your recent holiday on Weaver - Village Weaver from Aldermaston Wharf

Perfect size for a 2 person trip. Our only disappointment and no reflection on ABC Boat Hire was the state of the locks on the Kennet & Avon Canal, one of which was broken and needed a call out to enable us to move forward and others that were leaking and made it difficult to open and shut the locks. A definite need for upkeep / repair / maintenance. By contrast the locks on the Thames were perfect

Welcomed us on arrival. Reassured us as first time "boaters". Didn't keep us waiting to pick up the boat. Service with a smile. Similarly on return.

Your recent holiday on Goose - White Fronted Goose from Hilperton

Staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing too much trouble. It was my special birthday and they provided cakes, biscuits, balloons, serviettes with the welcome pack. It was a locely surprise. The boat was well equipped and with instruction given we set off on our adventure. We all had a fantastic time and would definitely go on a canal boat holiday again and would definitely use ABC Boat Hire again.
