We had a brilliant time. The boat was clean and comfortable. This was a present for my husband who had wanted to go on a barge for sometime, he really enjoyed stearing the boat. Will definately book for longer than a day in future.

I would certainly recommend them. I just found the centreline on the boat about 1 metre too short for comfort.

I left from Whitchurch and the lady in reception was an absolute pleasure, she told us everything we needed to know and answered all our questions I couldn’t fault her. The lady who did the hand over was equally brilliant told us everything looked after us and even came with us for the first 5 minutes. Then we had a great time so much so we are definitely booking a week next year

Everyone I talked to at ABC was helpful and friendly and the narrowboat was well-designed, clean and in good working order. This was my first canal boat holiday and I was glad to have taken the RYA ‘Narrowboat Experience Day’ practical course beforehand.
