Boat was in excellent condition and clean, plus the canal we travelled on (Llangollen) was perfect for a week's casual cruising. Will definitely book again with ABC.

most enjoyable holiday. A bit cramped for 6 people

We had a great holiday,scope owl was perfect for our trip. Setting off and returning the boat went smoothly. Slight concern about missing Cork screw but overcome with ingenuity by our captain and we are ready for another family voyage next year

The boat was in good condition and well equipped except for umbrellas which we could not find during a big downpour; this did not impact on our overall enjoyment of the holiday. There seems to have been a communication error about the first swing bridge beyond the marina. We did not appreciate it was not operational for boats between 8 and 9am. This slightly delayed our return but the marina staff understood why.

Thank you for your feedback, which we will forward to the marina so that the umbrellas can be replaced. The swing bridge near to the marina does have time restrictions as it carries a busy road over the canal, this is normally explained during your boat handover, apologies if this wasn't clear. We hope to welcome you again soon.

The boat was very clean and had everything we needed. One of the double beds wasn't very comfortable but that was because it is designed to be split into two singles. Perhaps a better mattress topper would improve it. We did have trouble lighting the gas hob and went through lots of matches until we managed to buy a has lighter for it. When we returned the staff said they were having trouble getting hold of these.

Greatly enjoyed our short Mon-Fri Aug boating trip from Goytre. Staff were kindly and patient before, during (incl. delivering bedding after hours one night!) and at the end of our holiday. Lovely boat, well equipped and exquisite scenery!

The boat was all that we had expected, having hired from ABC before however it was not as clean as we expected and the decor was beginning to feel a little tired. Otherwise we had a really good time.

Overall it was a good holiday but the boat "laughing gull" was a bit tired. It had all the facilities listed and the kitchen particularly was good, but the beds need new mattresses (spring and foam) they were soft and uncomfortable with the springs and this meant poor sleep for the week. Also the engine was a bit rough, lots of vibration on the tiller if the throttle was at anything other than tick over. Also the toilets and tank where smelly, even with allowing for some odour it was more than we've had on other boats

We loved this holiday and intend to book another next year. The staff where friendly and helpful. The boat was clean, modern and in a good state of repair. The route to Llangollen was great the only thing that could have made it better would be more locks. The only problem was the horrible smell in the stern cabin from the sewage pump out pipe. This got worse as the week went on, it was very bad in the wardrobe the pipe passed through and at night when the doors where closed. I did report this when we handed the boat back but didn't feel the man I spoke to was interested.
