The boat was lovely and clean, but the battery was faulty causing us to keep putting the engine on and the sink was falling off in the bathroom. Meaning if you lent on the front the wholof the back tilted forward as it had lost its seal.

ABC Boat hire provided a good service. Boat was lovely, clean and had everything we wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Are only criticism would be the lack of information or an email to let us know about the low water levels and the closure of most of the locks prior to are arrival as this would have allowed us to re plan our route. We still made the best from what was open and had a brilliant time. It is very likely we will book again in the future. thank you. Tom

Easy to book, someone to show you the rules, show you around the boat, how to operate it and the rules of the canal. The boat was perfect for a day trip half inside in case of rain and half outside in the sun. Everything you need if you want to cook on the boat. We chose this route as there were no locks, although we stopped a Fradley Junction for lunch at the Swan and there was a lock there, so we could show the kids how they work. Returned the boat to the marina and went for dinner at the Plough pub very close by. Really good trip, no problems, no rain. Great choice if you don't fancy doing the locks. Would recommend it.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great day out with your family and that everything from booking to boating went smoothly. It’s great to know the boat was just right for your trip — with space to enjoy both sunshine and shelter, and all the essentials for cooking onboard. Fradley Junction is a fantastic spot for lunch, and it’s brilliant that you got to show the kids how a lock works too! We’re so pleased the weather held out and that you had a relaxing, hassle-free experience. We’d love to welcome you back again soon — especially if you're looking for another lock-free adventure! Many thanks, ABC Boat Hire
