Have just spent the last 2 weeks going from Nantwich to Llangollen, back down to the Shropshire Union Canal and upto Chester. The Narrowboat was superbly equipped including great WiFi. The Handover team at the start and end were great, making us feel extremely pleased to have booked with ABC. We are out again at Easter from Aldermaston. Can’t wait

For me the Narrowboat experience is like the Heron. Graceful random boating encounters on the canal with lovely people: Witness the Heron biding his time by the river, Flying like a dance to natures beat The sky his song, the breeze his partner Wellbeing guaranteed forever. Such a wonderful holiday experience. Thankyou ABC for making it happen.

From the first contact with ABC I received excellent customer service. Which in this day is disappointing rare. All my questions were responded to quickly and fully. The boat I hired from Gailey was well equipped and spotless. The staff at Gailey exceptional. Full tour of boat together with instruction on engine and handling was easy to understand. Perfect holiday !
