The lock system (booking 24 hours in advance) was a pain because you never know how far or where your going to be the next day.

First time on a canal boat and we were not disappointed, ABC boats were really lovely boats. The staff were very helpful and a useful little app that we used all the time with lots of information available.

Great boats, Yellow Warbler was big enough for the 6 of us, not sure I would want 8 people on it but 6 was comfortable without having to change the kitchen into beds etc. lovely clean boat, met lovely people on the canal and ABC really helpful.

An interesting route to Stratford-Upon-Avon, but hard work, with 55 locks each way. The Birmingham Canal was a bit smelly in places and not as clean as some.

Easy booking. Very helpful staff on arrival gave us clear advice about the boat, along with ideas on where to stop and visit on our trip. We have rented a number of narrowboats from different companies, but this was definitely the best so far. Easy to handle, clean and comfortable with unusual amounts of storage space. Excellent all round.

Positives: The boat was clean and tidy and nicely presented. The layout with the salon at the rear was especially liked, being more sociable for the person at the helm. The staff at Gailey were friendly, helpful and gave a good briefing with just the right amount of information. We asked to return early and that was no problem either. Negatives: The canals are filthy and poorly maintained in places. A lot of time was lost clearing an abandoned duvet tangled in the propeller, a very unpleasant task. We were a long way from base so agreed to try ourselves rather than wait for an engineer to arrive. However there were no suitable tools provided for this purpose, instead we were advised to use the bread knife. It just wasn’t sharp or strong enough for the job. We also concluded it was impossible to properly sterilise it afterwards. The padlock and hasp that secures the entrance is incredibly small and weak and could be easily overcome. This left us feeling uneasy about leaving the boat.
