So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
We got the type of boat we required; 2 of us were over 6'. I phoned up in advance to check the water levels in the canal. All okay :) Arrived to find boat was ready had lunch and got on our way. Got back early and seen to promptly fuel check and difference paid. A little issue with one of the toilets and showers and little storage for clothes in that particular boat. Handover good, but old hands. A little too much on permanent residents of the canal. Kennet & Avon is a slow canal, Bath great, locks some deep, but volunteers available to help.

From the hand over to the re3turn we only experienced helpfulness. The boat was very well equipped and comfortable.

A lot of the gates were very difficult to open; otherwise we enjoyed the route. The pontoons were a different experience; and the lock keeper as we entered the Severn was very accommodating

ABC Boathire, I couldn't recommend enough. I keep coming back. This time we had two boats and went with friends who had never boated before. The staff at Hilperton looked after us fantastically and made sure we both got off together. The staff at Hilperton were wonderful and the cleanliness of the boats were second to none so big shout out to the cleaning staff. You will find the boats well equipped with everything you need . We have even cooked a Sunday Roast ! What I love is boating as part of the ABC Family they have Marinas all over country so we can always find a base.

Well organised from initial booking to final hand back. The narrow boat was spotless on hand over, thanks very much ladies, and the boat was very well equipped so no disappointments there. There was 10-15 mins of handling instruction, but was ample as the boat 69 ft long, was easy to manoeuvre even to a complete novice such as myself. From Blackwater to Llangollen there is no tv reception, but the radio worked fine. Some excellent pubs en route, The NarrowBoat, The Poachers and The Corn Mill in Llangollen provide excellent food and are a suitable distance apart for easy short cruise days (4-hrs) ish. Always top up your water, daily if possible and make use of on shore toilet facilities when you can. Thoroughly recommend this as an experience to get a hint of the history, engineering and hard work that went into this period of our history.
