The holiday delivered all we wanted from it and was a very successful 'reset' after quite a stressful time before going.

Your recent holiday on Grebe - Clarks Grebe from Blackwater Meadow Marina

From booking our week to handing the boat back was all very professional and smooth. Andrew who showed us the boat was especially helpful.

Your recent holiday on Thrush - Rock Thrush from Gayton

The boat was old and tired, not what was on your marketing material. the handover took for ever and was patronisingly simple.

First time on a narrowboat and it was great, wish I’d done it sooner, only problem was my other half not so keen, there goes my plan to buy a boat, but I will hire again, in the summer next time, she might like it then can only hope.

Your recent holiday on Thrush - Swainsons Thrush from Hilperton

When I returned to the marina after a very enjoyable trip, the greeting was disgusting. The marina staff barked orders and belittled me whilst maneuvering the boat. I am a yacht broker and know customer service. He was very lucky not to get a full description from me - lucky for him my kids were on board!

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

Only brief comment is needed about the boat. It was spotless, well equipped and performed well. I must comment in particular about the staff. Rarely does one encounter such consistency of pleasantness, politeness and helpfulness! It was an absolute delight to interact with each one from the point of arrival to the point of departure .The briefing was clear and necessary. It allowed us to depart with confidence. My wife arrived with some trepidation and unable to see the point of a boat, caravan or tent if there is a good hotel nearby. She enjoyed it and intends to do it again. No more needs to be said The efficiency of the whole operation was a credit to all.
