So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Boat was lovely. Clean and well stocked with lots of storage space. The only thing I would recommend is more of a briefing with regards the challenges of navigating the Kennet & Avon.

The boat was perfect, with a comfortable bed, and we were very pleased to find we had a walk-in shower, which would have been ideal on our previous trip with my elderly father (from a different marina), who couldn't get over the hip-bath shower side. They have modernised their fleet, which meant, amongst other things, that it didn't get cold, and the oven, when we used it, actually cooked as well as ours at home, which we weren't expecting. Overall, a very pleasant trip. We have always enjoyed our holidays with ABC Boat Hire, but if this holiday was anything to go by they will be even better. A special shout out has to go to the Canal and River Trust volunteer who saw us safely through Northgate Locks, the huge staircase locks in Chester, and waited while we turned around and returned to go up again.

Very helpful. We went into the office in advance of collecting the boat and the lady there loaned us a map book so that we could plan our trip, and helped us with storage of our vehicles whilst on the boat. She gave us information about the boat lift and how we could book it, and even gave our dog a small ice cream that she had bought herself to give to children! She was generally very friendly and helpful, as were the rest of the staff, waiting patiently while we ferried our luggage on one of their trolleys, as we hadn't brought a suitcase or large bags with us.

Good handover and return. Nice narrow boat, well equipped. I should have asked for a spare line, which they would have supplied.

When we arrived we where greeted by Katie a very experienced and friendly member of the ABC team who ran through all the safety requirements 👍 then we went to our Barge and was greeted by Richard he asked who would be the Captain with overall charge of the Barge my husband was appointed, as he had the most experience, then our son was appointed second mate, he took them around the boat and explained all the relevant points of the what we needed to know, and technical runnings of the boat, we all found him very knowledgeable, and a very nice person, then I was asked by Liz the lovely lady who looks after all the inside and comforts of the boat if we needed extra towels etc, everyone at Whitchurch where so helpful, they made the begging of our holiday go so smoothly, we have used ABC boats for many years, we highly recommend them.

Nice boat. Well equipped and with decent insulation and good seals on the doors .Powerful engine And even unlimited wifi that actually worked! It would have been good to havea lock on teh front doors.

We had such a relaxing time. The canal is fairly easy to navigate with not too many locks or bridges and has some pretty stopping off points such as Chirk and Llangollen. There are some narrow bits but we managed them.

Lovely clean boat. Staff friendly and helpful. We were given all the information we needed to feel confident about the trip. The area is lovely.

We sailed from Gayton to Warwick. The weather was against us so ended up a little later than we expected. Locks everyday which took it's toll on our younger crew. Bascote staircase lock was fun however Weedon flight was heavy and hard going.
