Your recent holiday on Warbler - Dartford Warbler from Blackwater Meadow Marina

A well appointed boat with all the equipment we needed and helpful staff through booking, departure and at other marinas along the way. We were lacking a toaster and the next ABC marina just supplied one without any messing about.

Your recent holiday on Sandpiper - Purple Sandpiper from Gayton

Middle bathroom loo was not functioning very well but worked just ok. Had to be primed with shower occasionally. Could do with a couple more hooks on bedroom wall and a very small corner shely above 2nd single bed.

Your recent holiday on Swift - Sooty Swift from Whitchurch Marina

Excellent service at Whitchurch Marina, Boat was ready on time and handover completed in good time allowing us to get underway and make some good progress along the canal on our first afternoon. Boat was clean, good bedding and towels provided, We missed the additional wide bed cushions which made sleeping a bit of a challenge, not sure if this was our fault on original booking or ABC, either way it needs to be made clearer that this must be requested despite ‘Swift’’ boat description stating wider beds.

Your recent holiday on Woodpecker - Green Woodpecker from Aldermaston Wharf

4 of us old time gals went on the Narrow boat for 5 days.Was a brilliant experience but you need to be pretty fit to manage the Locks. Altho it is hard work we still had a great holiday and a lot of fun. Beware the Locks that have strong undercurrents!!!!! Unfortunately we did not heed the warnings & ended up width ways across the canal, hence, holding up the upstream & downstream traffic!!!! After a frantic phone call back to base we did get some help to rectify the problem so all turned out good. If I had one piece of advice for the boat hire company it would be to show novice boaters how to actually operate the Locks by attending the very first Lock with them. You cannot really learn how to operate a Lock by looking at a tiny, wooden toy Lock imo. Anyway, after wrestling with the trees, battling with the Locks, we all had a great holiday. Would us 60 plus year olds do it again? 🤔......Nah! Been there & done it 😂😂😂😂
