So don't take our word for it, see what over 10,000 of our customers are saying about us!
No problems getting to grips with the boat and navigating the locks, swing bridges and tunnels along the way. A new experience for the family, enjoying the relaxed pace and lovely countryside of our journey.

The staff were friendly and the boat was well presented. Everything was in order and clean and tidy. I know that on a canal we are "captive" so to speak but maybe a bit more tuition would not go amiss, especially about reversing 😃

Wilson's Plover was amazing. Everything was perfect. The bed was really comfy. A bit small but not surprised! The kitchen was well equipped. Bathroom was perfect and the toilet was a great little kit, just like a normal toilet, I was dreading the toilet!! Wilson's plover is 58ft which was very daunting at first but we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

We have had eleven narrowboat holidays over the years, with several different companies. The Leaf Warbler is a superb boat and the best we have hired by a country mile. It was spotlessly clean and exceptionally well equipped (except for the frying pan which glued everything to it). I would recommend it to anyone.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff at Anderton Marina nothing was too much trouble, we were certainly looked after throughout our barge holiday. We completed the Cheshire Ring and were given very specific advice about where to moor-up in Manchester and keeping safe.

From start to finish, our canal boating holiday was superb. The handover was smooth and very friendly. The boat was immaculate and well equipped. Would highly recommend.

Our boat was more difficult and at times unreliable to steer through no fault of ours.

The condition was good but I did notice other boats paint work was in better order.The front step threshold was coming off and where a new shower mixer had been put in, the old holes were left exposed. A water ingress problem in the future. We could not find a chopping board either.

The actual being on a boat and cruising on the Mon &Brec was lovely. The boat was well equipped including windlasses with rotating handles. However, a 2-hour handover to with multiple explanations of how to work locks to people who have experienced all types of locks was a frustrating start to the holiday. We have been with ABC a number of times: would it not be possible to keep a record of instruction received to avoid repetition on every holiday. It would also give boatyards more time to work with inexperienced crews.

Very good except NO appliances worked. Canal Trust came on board and said it was the 'inverter'. But noone explained that to us.

We had a really lovely 3 nights on the boat and will certainly return for another break. The boat had everything needed but we did have some issues with the WIFI (needed it for business) which on day 1 cut off completely and we had to phone the marina for another code, they sorted it no problem and it was fine afterwards (obviously depending on where you were moored up). I thought it would have been nice to have been given a map instead of having to purchase one as this was our first time on a boat so we had no concept of how long it would take us to get anywhere or any landmarks to look for. Overall a lovely experience and would certainly use ABC Boat Hire again.
