Your recent holiday on Gull - Sabines Gull from Hilperton

Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday which was a late booking arranged with a very helpful lady from ABC. Greeting at the marina and handover of the boat to us was excellent. Information provided comprehensive. Boat was comfortable, clean and well maintained. Would definitely book again.

Overall very good, minor points about cleaning with cushions not being moved or cleaned under but well equipped and prepared vessel. Hand over very thorough and covered all key points. Staff very helpful

Your recent holiday on Wren - Happy Wren from Blackwater Meadow Marina

Easy to book in, due to covid we had to find way round boat ourselves, all was fine apart from grease on oven door and floor of oven. Can opener did not work, we intended to have pub meal 1st night but as kitchen was closed we had to resort to back up tins... this resulted in walking some distance along towpath with tins to next boat asking to borrow tin opener until we could buy a new one. Bed extremely uncomfortable, why put 2 single mattresses on a double resulting in a hard ridge down centre of bed.

Your recent holiday on Owl - Hawk Owl from Aldermaston Wharf

Great company, nice staff, but i feel the boat could of been checked over better as the batteries were poor which meant we had to leave the engine running to keep power, so come morning with engine off no power and no toilet pumps which left a stench through the boat and trying to find the toilet through the night was a challenge in the pitch black. We did have a number to call for maintenance which we never bothered with as we didn't want our weekend disrupted

We have hired a few times from ABC boat hire and have just returned from another wonderful short break. The staff here are friendly, helpful and give excellent service. The boats have always been clean, comfortable and fully equipped. Keep up the good work ABC we’ll be back soon 😊
