So don't take our word for it, see what over 10,000 of our customers are saying about us!
The booking staff were very friendly and helpful whn purchasing the holiday and the the marina staff were likewise friendly and helpful when collecting the boat. The boat was very well designed and constructed.

We have used aldermaston wharf on numerous occasions because the staff have always been really kind friendly and helpful,, But I’m afraid to say our last trip on 18th September leaving from aldermaston didn’t have quite the same feel, We didn’t receive a very warm welcome by the lady in reception and I’m sorry to say I found her quite rude.. we had a lovely time as we always do, Then just as we were coming through the lock at 9.08 am On Monday morning she rang my mobile, she instantly said where were we! Not we hope you’ve had a nice time.. This upset me as we had to wait for other people to come through the lock too and i will say this spoilt our trip as I was instantly cross.. Sadly we will now look at another narrow boat company to use or not leave from aldermaston.. Kind regards Lisa hedges

We had a lovely week on The Black headed Bunting. A totally different experience for us. Some wonderful moments and some tough ones as we were learning the ropes Everyone was so helpful to us novices. A friendly community . Didn't find too many nice places to Moor up but we managed By the end of the week we were all 3 of us looking forward to a comfy bed and bath! We saw lots of Herons close up and nothing better than gliding along on a sunny day in peaceful moments. We were 3 adults so storage a bit tight and space, especially when bed is down in the dining area but we were on a boat so didn't expect it to be spacious. Our single beds at the front were a bit small and draughty as doors had gaps around them. We liked Llangollen and loved going over the Aqueduct. Beautiful views. On way back we stopped at a dear little pop up teashop canalside for tea and cake, which was a nice treat. On last night we ate at The Horse and Jockey pub, really nice and good food. All in all a great adventure for us and one we'd like to repeat at a later date. Thankyou

Good boat, beautiful locations and great weather made this a memorable holiday. However, it was somewhat marred by the incident at Tweeton Lock which left us stranded on the western side of Bath for the second half of the week. Also, it would have been good to have had more information from you on navigating the stretch from Keynsham into Bristol, which is different from the canal in terms of availability of moorings etc.

There were a few things about the boat which were not quite right or problematical.

Overall a good experience. A very well equipped boat, however we did have a problem with the toilets

Everyone at ABC always goes the extra mile, and this time was no different. We had a couple of glitches (not the fault of ABC - boat returned late) but this was communicated clearly and helpfully. A couple of small issues with the boat, but we were able to sort ourselves - however on reporting them to the team we were given a refund for the pump out we'd needed to do without quibble. You're brilliant!

Very relaxing with beautiful scenery - really enjoyable weekend on the canal! Excellent service from the marina, especially the handover and instruction from Richard and Stuart. We will be back!

We had a great week - the weather was excellent which helped a lot! As novices, leaving the marina was challenging as it's a tricky manoeuvre. There was a lot of instruction on locks and the boat itself, but not so much about navigating so there was a a fair amount of trial and error until we got into it. We enjoyed the route we took but it was too far for the time we had and our level of experience, so unfortunately we had to turn round before Stourton Junction to be sure of getting back in time.

It was my first boating holiday so I don't have much to compare it against, but I was with some experienced canal boat enthusiasts that offered input. The boat was clean and well maintained, apart from that we set off with one toilet tank still full (it made the boat lean to one side as the one on the other side was empty). The kitchen equipment was great - everything we needed to make and serve three hot meals a day as well as making a elderberry and blackberry crumble from the fruit we picked along the way. Check-out and return went smoothly, and their planning to accommodate social distancing were evident and working as well as can be hoped.
