So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Excellent customer service because our trip from Aldermaston was cancelled the day before departure and we were rebooked within a short time at Springwood Haven

We had a fun holiday. Battery ran flat one day - might have been user error! Bed not very comfy.

As mentioned a change of location was arranged very efficiently

Not for public viewing please - just a big thank-you - everyone at Falkirk Marina and the Scottish Canals Boat Movement team very friendly and helpful.

Very helpful in the run-up to the trip enabling us to make a realistic plan our weekend and do everthing we wanted. They were happy that we used our own non-inflatable lifejackets for the youngest children who might have fiddled with the self inflating ones and very understanding about the accidental inflation. Less impressed with cleanliness on taking over the boat.

Well equipped and comfortable, although less comfortable for the older and larger people. But they're not called narrow boats for nothing!

Everything was well done except the fact that the rudder was badly bent. This caused bad shaking every time we went above the slowest setting. On returning the boat having spoken to the manager at Wrenbury nothing was said, no apology just a payment of £20.00 as we went over on fuel (probably because of the issue).

I would of loved to have given 5 stars but the rudder was a big negative. The weather was wonderful and scenery just beautiful. All four of us had a great time.

We had a great time on Purple Sandpiper ... The facilities where perfect .. nice and clean ... all that you needed ... Very warm welcome from all the staff... The down sides were the mattress's ... they were very uncomfortable.. double beds were singles pushed together with a hard ridge in the middle and hard springs... they should be upgraded to memory foam... the other the cost of fuel very high...

Thank you for your feedback. I can confirm all boats have been changed to memory foam mattresses in the last year however, the dinette is 2 singles pushed together to be able to convert this back within the day. We hope to see you back soon :)

Beds need to be upgraded to memory foam. The seating from the wall needs oiling very hard to pull it up.

Not my favourite layout compared to other longboats we have hired from ABC (I preferred the kitchen and seating area on the previous hire but can't remember what the boat was called!) but this one year old boat was reasonably comfortable and having two bathrooms it was a perfect size for eight adults and a dog!

This is our third longboat holiday with ABC boat hire. The staff at Worcester Marina are very helpful and friendly, and nothing is too much trouble. The boat was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. You receive a very thorough safety talk and instructions on arrival which is great if you're new to boating holidays or just in need of a refresher (on our very first holiday one of the staff came with us and as far as the first lock to help us through). I would definitely recommend this company.

We have taken hire boats out from various marinas over 20+ years. This boat was the best we have had. Mattresses were particularly comfortable.

The boat was clean tidy and fit for purpose.

An all round enjoyable experience
