So don't take our word for it, see what over 10,000 of our customers are saying about us!
Reception was quite abrupt, the boat hadn’t been filled to capacity with water, & didn’t look like it had been cleaned thoroughly

Great family holiday, enjoyed by all (aged 21-80). Boat had everything we needed but is beginning to show its age. One minor engine problem, resolved very smoothly and quickly with telephone assistance from the boatyard.

ABC boat hire - friendly, professional, informative and welcoming. It was our first canal boating holiday so we were suitably nervous. We arrived to a beautifully equipped and prepared boat. The staff could not have been more helpful with tips and advice. We had an incident with malicious damage and a broken window early in the trip. The team were caring and traveled our to replace the glass as soon as we could meet. Everyone was delightful - the engineers, the cleaning staff, the receptionists and the crew who gave us instruction.

A chance to explore the Ashby canal and the rural countryside of middle England. Some good pubs on the route.

Easy to use booking system and helpful ABC personnel accessible by phone. All necessary information provided pre-arrival. Very comfortable boat ready for us in good order. Friendly and helpful staff at Falkirk base and along Forth & Clyde Canal.

Notwithstanding our disappointment at not getting the break we booked due to circumstances out with your control, what was substituted was second to known. From the logistics sorted by Gail & Myra at the Falkirk marina to Charlie giving instructions about the boat to Tina & Arnie & others seeing to the locks. A huge well done & thank you from us for making our first (for sure not our last) boating holiday all that it was. Not sure what effect ‘normality’ would have had on things or if the weather had not been so kind but that’s for another day.

As always another enjoyable holiday on the canals.

There were just a few small complaints about the boat but they did not spoil the actual canal trip. The overall layout of the boat was not the best one I have been on before with the bedrooms at either end also the bedding was old and stained and the pillows smelt of previous greasy heads. The duvet and covers plus pillow slips were old worn and shabby. The fixed table was impossible to squeeze past to sit down and had to be man handled to be seated. There was no chairs for me to sit on while accompanying my husband during him steering and had to use a picnic box to sit on as I cannot stand for long hours. The television did not have a signal the whole time we were on the trip and only returned on our last night near our destination at the finish of our holiday. The radio also had the same problem.
