The boat was rather tired

The Marina was very efficient at pick up and return. Staff friendly and very helpful. Handover instructions were very clear and we were greeted and welcomed on return. The boat was well equipped and very comfortable. Highly recommended!

Their were only four people on board and we all found the beds uncomfortable. Other than the beds we had a wonderful holiday it was everything we expected, and the four days went too quickly and wish we had hired it for longer.

We loved our holiday on Archers Lark. The boat was immaculate, the organisation was excellent and the trip itself was through beautiful scenery and countryside with some excitement in passing over the aqueducts on our route

We had a great week. Very happy with the boat, onboard facilities and especially Simon at Alvechurch Marina who was the most calm, reassuring, helpful and friendly presence both before and after our week afloat. Our first experience of canal boating and it has certainly given us an appetite for more. Happy to recommend ABC. Minor irritations were the marina being short-staffed on our arrival meaning we only got 1 hour cruising on the first day, and the unreliable wifi onboard.

Good boat, steering could have been more responsive but was manageable. Had one issue with the seating area which was broken and it took a couple of calls to get it repaired, as answerphone message left wasn't responded to - once we managed to talk direct to a person the repair was quickly made. Would have been helpful to have some wooden spoons among the inventory, and a scourer.

We had an excellent holiday. The staff at Ellesmere boatyard were all excellent and very helpful. We only had one issue - the cooker didn't work but we cooked using the rings and grill; so no real problems there. I'm looking forward to the next boat trip, starting tomorrow from Anderton Marina.

Nothing is ever perfect enough for five stars. Downside, the boat was draughty especially around the side and rear hatches. Big gaps let in the cold air, so the boat was very chilly at night though the heater did warm quickly in the morning. The double beds had a ridge down the middle (two singles together) this and the draught made for uncomfortable nights sleeping. Upside, spacious galley to work in, very hot water, lots of towels and bedding. On the whole a good time although this will probably be our last boating holiday as it is getting too expensive for us (and our bones need a bit more comfort).

Narrow boat was quite shabby throughout and there was no comfortable seating.

Excellent holiday as always. Used ABC many times and would again in the future. Everything is organised and sorted prior to the holiday. Boat has always been immaculate and clean. Staff at Whitchurch Marina exceptionally nice and friendly. Lovely Lady phoned to check beds etc few days before start of holiday and said could turn up early which is great!! Think it was the lady on reception. Very pleasant. Would definitely recommend Llangollen and return. Cant wait until our next one!!

The communications between myself and the team at Falkirk was great in advance of the holiday. Even advised on the route and addressed all the queries we had. Helped us with contacts with Scottish Water who were also well organised and advised on the routes. Also did all the locks down to the Kelpies. Women loved this the team that helped were great and very friendly. Handover from Charlie was very professional and helpful recommending excellent places to stop on the way to Edinburgh. Only issue was the excellent food on the way, being locked up/down for a year our bodies were not used to such good food. The storage on the boat was unbelievable, we could have taken all our kit in one go. Going through the Falkirk Wheel was well organised and all the staff friendly, helpful and professional. Had one callout out of hours which was dealt with quickly all eventualises covered. Fantastic holiday and the weather unbelievable. I forgot my sunglasses and got sunburnt.

Thank you for such lovely feedback, which we will forward to our team at Falkirk. It sounds as if you had quite an adventure exploring the Scottish Canals and enjoying the local eateries en route! We look forward to welcoming you on another ABC holiday in the future.

From start to finish everything was perfect. All staff were amazing and couldn't have been more helpful. Boats were spotless and really well equipped.
