Your recent holiday on Warbler - Greenish Warbler from Blackwater Meadow Marina

So pleased that we used abc for our first canal boating experience. The boat was ready a little earlier than 2.30 which allowed us to get all the info/safety done to be able to get going sooner. The boat was immaculate, we could not fault a thing! They had absolutely everything on board that we could possibly need. Thank you

Your recent holiday on Wagtail - Yellow Wagtail from Rugby Wharf

Pleasant, helpful staff and a good boat. However, well-intentioned but draconian COVID measures meant loading and unloading was rather rushed (we accidentally left items on the boat - heard nothing else about them). Also, on collection, the boat's floor wasn't quite as clean as it could have been.

Your recent holiday on Gull - Glaucous Gull from Anderton

Great service as usual. The handover process was smooth and efficient. The boat was clean and well stocked. It's our third time hiring a boat from ABC and we'll be back again next year.

Your recent holiday on Bunting - Snow Bunting from Gayton

This was our first ever time on a Narrowboat holiday. We had a fantastic time, helped by beautiful weather. The handover was excellent from reception and we felt very prepared for the weekend after our introduction by the engineer. The images however from the laminates could be improved especially when the first lock was a double paddle. We had guidance by a boating expert at the gate and went on to manoeuvre through 20 locks over the weekend. Having a smaller boat for the first time was definitely beneficial as it enabled us to navigate through the locks without any safety worries.

Your recent holiday on Finch - Red Poll Finch from Goytre Wharf

The boat was well presented and ready early. The marina staff very friendly, knowledgeable and polite. An issue with the invertor batteries was resolved quickly and efficiently. This along with the most picturesque canal I have encountered made for a very enjoyable and leisurely holiday.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Sedge Wren from Hilperton

the boat was nice to cruise on, even though the river avon was shut i was told where i could turn and given some direction so i could still visit bath, the engineer seemed to trust me to make the handover even speedier, the whole experience in general was delightful. been using abc for years and wouldn’t want to go to elsewhere for my canal boat holidays. keep up the good work.
