So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
The briefing session was excellent. Very informative and detailed.

The boat was comfortable. Kitchen could do with a bit of an update, microwave old plus fridge temperature hard to regulate (freezing food even when set to 3)

everything from the boatyard handover at the start to handing the boat back was very smooth and professional. great holiday in a lovely clean and reliable boat.

The boat was in good order. Everything worked and a problem was solved efficiently. Handover could have been better. Why not have a checklist and copy on boat. Information could be easier to find. Clearer information about gas cooker would would have saved our phone call . The 9 am return was ok but a warmer welcome back would have been appreciated. In reality the holiday is really a two day trip.. The weather ensured we had a memorable experience.

We are old experienced boaters - and this matched the boat! There were a few things that needed attention but in general the boat was good for us. No-one likes having a shower curtain up the bottom but the confined space made this mandatory . It did not however spoil our trip in any way.

As usual, we had a great time and have just booked our next one!!

The boat was old and tired, in need of updating.

Apparent fault with service battery charging reported and discussed. Consequently none of the 240v items could be used. To keep batteries charged required excessive use engine on idle and low revs. I am disappointed that this does noit seem to have been taken into account in the refund of the fuel deposit,. Hose fitting missing, so we relied on a member of the public donating one. Water filler cap was broken and unusable. We were thinking of booking again for two weeks next spring with ABC, but I am now unfortunately looking at other suppliers as well.

Comfortable boat which handled well. Mainly equipped with all that was needed. Couple of bits needed attention ...water hose didn't have good connector , small leak from rain water in cabin ,split in bucket. Comfortable layout for one week...possibly benefit from different saloon layout for longer trips. All sais.wr had fun !

Overall a good holiday but very weather dependent and very tiring for just two people

We enjoyed the Boat but did not like the number of itinerants in boats on Kennet & Avon. Particularly at Bradford they had the best moorings forcing us to moor along a muddy unsafe bank. Surely they are not all paying appropriate fees, or there should be monitored moorings for hire craft?

Delightful, super clean and sanitised boat, great suggested route, lovely helpful people, and we used Tesco vouchers to make it fabulous value. Despite one day of horrible weather we had great fun. Boat has excellent heater to warm up and dry out

The whole 2 weeks went off extremely smoothly - extra linen was provided as we changed people after week one. The kitchen equipment provided covered all our needs (not always so with self catering accommodation for 6 or more. All the ABC staff and the Canal volunteers we encountered were friendly and helpful. Would certainly recommend hiring a canal boat to others - although not the cheapest of holiday options.
