Lovely boat and everything you needed for a lovely holiday.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted to hear you thoroughly enjoyed your 7-day holiday on board. It’s great to know the boat had everything you needed and provided a comfortable space for your adventure. We’re sorry to hear about the challenges with water levels and silt — unfortunately, that can sometimes be part of the canal experience, but we appreciate you sharing it with us. Your comments help us continue working with local authorities to improve navigation conditions. We’re so pleased the rest of your trip was enjoyable, and we’d love to welcome you back again soon! – The team at ABC Boat Hire

The service was excellent, we were kept well informed once book , the only downside was on arriving at the boat yard we checked in and the young lady behind the counter said she would ring when the boat was ready unfortunately she didn't inform anyone else and we were stood waiting when the boat was ready. The safty and handling instructions were excellent. The boat was dated but well equipped. The cannal is suffering from a lack of maintenance in place but on a all the locks , tunnel and bridges were brilliant. Definitely do it a again

We thoroughly enjoyed our 7 days on the narrow boat the only complaint was the amount of times the boat got stuck in silt and mud due to water level.
