ABC made this unforgettable experience. The check-in process was quick and easy, the walkthrough of the boat was very informative, and the turnover team extremely helpful as we began our first narrowboat journey.

Excellent and friendly service, clear instructions and moral support! Only small things, radio didn't work too well, no signal and no Bluetooth as expected. An extra tea-towel would have been useful.

Thank you for your feedback. I have forwarded your comments to the Marina Manager, who will inspect the mattress on Green Sandpiper. This is the first complaint we have received regarding Green Sandpiper in 2026, and we appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. Regarding the electricity, all of our boats are fitted with standard UK three-pin sockets. If you had contacted the marina during your stay, our team would have been happy to assist and, where possible, provide an adaptor. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value all customer comments, as they help us to improve the experience we provide at ABC Boat Hire. ABC Boat Hire

The mattresses in the beds are not from this century and there are poor opportunities to charge your mobile phone if you don't have electrical connections to English electricity. The interior generally looks worn.
