First time canal users. Fun time had by all. Glad we had one of the smaller boats. Lovely locations to stop along the way. Enjoy the ambience and don't rush.

Never been on a canal boat before, the staff were friendly and engaging in telling us what to do. The staff are amazing, all of them. Would definitely recommend the company. We went West along the Kenet and Avon Canal to Newbury from Aldermaston. Lovely stops along the way, we had rain and sun, made the adventure even more exciting. Only 1 pub right on the river The Robarge which is nice. We stopped at Thatcham, one pub next to the river, The Swan. No food there though when we stopped, but there is a lovely chip shop about 10 mins walk towards town on the right hand side. One the return journey, we decided to come through the lock and bridge and turn around past the yard, and spent the last night in the yard. Glad we did this as in the morning the road bridge doesn't open until after 9am, then you have a lock and to turn the boat around and be back by 9:30, there was a queue of boats trying to return at the same time and get through the lock and bridge. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, family of four with two teenagers - even they got into the swing of things. ABC were great. Don't try to do too much and travel too far, because you will ruin the experience. Relax and enjoy the views and down time along the way otherwise it can be quite stressful because you can't hurry the boats!

Our original booking was changed due to our boat not being available. We were offered either changing to a different date or a larger boat from Springwood Haven marina. Both at no extra charge. We selected the boat from Springwood and had a great trip

Stunning scenery, ideal mooring locations and a variety of obstacles to cover from swing bridges to aqueducts and tunnels making the whole canal experience hat little bit more interesting.

Excellent service as always, the pre-talk was very informative as we were told because of the covid the canal could be extra shallow in places which helped.

Excellent, friendly service. Boat was great except for one small thing: the wifi ran out 24 hours before the end of the trip. Other than that, first rate trip.
