Your recent holiday on Bunting - Black Headed Bunting from Whitchurch Marina

We really enjoyed the week and particularly valued the rapid response from the tech guys at Whitchurch when we got a fence post stuck in the propeller. The boat was perfect for us and had no other problems with it.

Your recent holiday on Owl - Eagle Owl from Alvechurch

We enjoyed our holiday BUT: One of the waste storage tanks was full on departure, so we could not use one of the toilets and had to put up with the smell until we stopped to find out why the toilet was blocked and were told it just needed a pump-out. Several of the ceiling lights did not work - no spare bulbs were supplied. On our return, we were harassed and obstructed by the cleaners while we were trying to unload. This just slowed us down and was a dreadful final memory from our holiday. One of the plates on the floor to which the table and bed legs are fitted is cracked. This made it very difficult to change the table to a bed and back again because the leg gets stuck in the fitting.

Your recent holiday on Swallow - Red Throated Swallow from Goytre Wharf

Lovely clean barge, well equipped and we received a friendly welcome. The handover was thorough and our questions were answered fully. The canal route was beautiful.

Your recent holiday on Owl - Snowy Owl from Hilperton

Went from Hilperton Marina. The pre booking, checking in and out experience was first class. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable, kept us updated through the Covid months, regarding booking and updated procedures. 7 adult novices had a great time, took far too many clothes, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Will definitely book again.

Your recent holiday on Kestrel - Common Kestrel from Gailey Wharf

Everything you need is there on board. The boat is fueled to the limit its up to you how much you use, if there is any fuel left you receive a credit for that amount. Every gadget and utensil possible is on board and it all works. The choice of journey is entirely up to you, the advice you get from staff is current and so, accurate to the last minute. I highly recommend a barge holiday for anyone who wants independence, choice and a slow down time to recharge.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Winter Wren from Wrenbury

Fantastic cruise from Wrenbury to Llangollen and return through beautiful countryside with interesting towns on the way and culminating in the stunning Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. Winter Wren was a joy. Spotlessly clean, comfortable (yes, even the make up bed on the salon table!) and the bathroom was one of the best we've had afloat with a superb shower and electric flushing toilet! Staff at Wrenbury were SO friendly, welcoming and efficient and the handover was very slick. There's something for everyone on this route, so we have no hesitation in giving it 100% recommendation.
