We had a great time on the Mons and Brec Canal trip. Amazing views and tranquil settings. The only reason for the lack of a fifth star was the boat was not 100% functional.

The boat was in very good condition, with everything we need on board.It was very clean. The staff at the marina were friendly and very helpful.

This was my 3rd trip with ABC. The staff were friendly and helpful as usual and of course the canals were beautiful as ever. However the boat I used this time ‘Iceland Gull’ was very tiredand quite shabby. The deck was rusty. It didn’t ruin our trip but I would have hoped for something a bit more up to date. The inside of the boat was cleaned to a fair standard but the outside hadn’t been cleaned at all and was quite dirty. We had to brush and mop ourselves. It won’t deter me from using ABC again but maybe next time I shall specially request One of the newer boats in the fleet.

Our first barging holiday. 4 days spent cruising from Wrenbury to Chirk on the Llangollen canal. Peaceful, restful, fabulous scenery and wildlife, topped off with amazing weather ☀️. A really smooth and informative booking from ABC Boat Hire and dedicated and helpful staff at the marina. We usually travel abroad in the summer however we may have got the boating bug !

Everything worked as expected and we had a great weekend. This is our sixth time with ABC and will see us again soon.

Very thorough & friendly yard. Find the dining table difficult on Duck class boats to deal with for larger folk but replaced it with the small table stowed under the seat in the bow. There were a few other minor issues with the equipment e.g. can opener didnt work and dining seat support was broken. Main issue with the holiday was that unfortunately the yard had apparently not been advised that the River Cam would be closed just 2 miles short of Cambridge and had we known that we could have diverted to somewhere else.

The boat needed some work done on it. Locks on door and windows were broken. Lack of plug sockets was also a problem.

Staff and boat excellent and the experience was excellent but thought price was a bit expensive on the boat for 60 hours thats almost £17 an hour or £400 for 24 hours

We were very happy with the boat, and our week as a whole. As you are aware our boat was broken into on our last night. When we explained what happened to the marina the following day the person we dealt with said We normally tell people not to moor up near at Kings Norton ( where we were broken into) as it has a reputation for being unsafe. I really wish someone had told us this at the handover and this would have saved us a £1000.00 insurance claim and three children who were pretty shaken up by the event

Excellent communications and information during lead up to holiday (COVID period). Appropriate instruction on handover and boat was scrupulously clean. Good choice of routes from Anderton

The canal infrastructure was dreadful in several areas, such as a swing bridge which didn’t swing, several locks which were difficult to drain or fill and very few good moorings. Odd things were wrong with the boat, which included cupboard doors which didn’t close, a very poor hose for taking on water, no written information on how to drain the shower, toaster not fit for purpose, loose shelf in fridge door, fridge was inadequate in the hot weather, skylight leaked when it rained, inadequate information on how to make up the double bed, 240V system failed for last two days.

The entire experience was fantastic. The boot was a little basic but it was exactly what we were expecting

Our 3rd year with ABC, great company, very professional and run through everything thoroughly with you. Their boats are of exceptional standard compared to other hire companies boats we have seen in the waterways. The marina staff are always very helpful, whenever you need them.
