So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Hired a boat from ABC last year and it was not very old and I was extremely impressed with it. The boat that we had this time was obviously older, not so well equipped and a little warn.

Excellent as usual, original booking had to be changed due to water levels on the Kennet & Avon canal. Easily sorted and moved to a different marina.

I know that it seems a bit odd leaving 5 stars across the board for this trip - but each category below merits it. The state of, and equipment in, the boat was great. The housekeeping staff helpfully and with good humour made a last minute change for us. The handover was clear and sensible. The reception experience was smooth (with useful, knowledgeable information thanks)

Service was great, the boat was mechanically sound, but the boat was in a tired condition, the hose pipe which filled up the water tank leaked like a Siv, it was like the hose had been stabbed with a dart, other boaters had the Same experience, the seating was badly worn and flat, when making up the bed it was all eleven, the bench seating was nearly flat and made my bum ache when sat on for an hour, the table trim was loose and ready to fall off, catches to cupboards etc not shutting correctly until it was aligned, although we made the most of it and enjoyed our holiday, we have been boating for 15 years, and this has been the worst boat, we have been with abc boating before with same layout and had no trouble.

Boat was all ready for us when we arrived at 1400. Had the initial information regarding lock operation, especially useful as two of our crew were 1st timers. Handover by David was excellent. Mattresses are extremely comfortable.

1. Central heating failed after a week. Lack of instructions regarding diesel level. 2. Persistent odour on board after pump out. 3. Bathroom sink drains away and failed to hold water.

We were disappointed not to have completed our proposed Black Country Loop because of a collapse of a flight of locks in central Birmingham.
