So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Great boat, plenty of parking at the marina. Local train station only 10 mins walk away. Staff are excellent and checking in is easy, nothing is an issue for them either. Checking out was only a 10 mins wait which works well with loading your cases and anything else into your car while waiting.

Beautiful boat, fully equipped. Only problem we had was with the oven which wouldn’t stay lit unless we kept our finger on the button. Not ideal under any circumstances.

ABC kindly arranged excellent weather, gave us a boat that had no issues during our cruise, outfitted with all the supplies that we needed. Sent us on our way in a timely fashion and welcomed us back the morning of our final day with alacrity so that we could head off to London via GWR.

Great staff at Whitchurch marina. Good facilities on boat. WiFi annoying and electricity kept tripping out.

With a different view to enjoy every night on our slow trip along the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal, perfect relaxing holiday to remember. Plenty of wildlife to see, truely back to nature with Kingfishers darting along in front of the boat as we wound our way through wooded banks above the valley.

We loved the boat, it was just right for the 2 of us, and much easier to manoeuvre than some of the larger ones we've had in the past!! She was very clean and tidy when we picked her up, and the boatyard staff were great - very helpful, friendly and polite. Really lovely holiday; got to go on the Falkirk Wheel, and see the Kelpies, which were the main reasons for going, and were the highlights of a great week.

We had an excellent time but thought that the condition of the boat was somewhat 'tired' and could do with some refurbishment.

It was a good experience ovetall.

The extra size beds were not built/installed correctly so we were unable to use it to its full potential. The mattress bedding provided was too small when the extra mattress piece was attached/added. There was no hanging facility in the wardrobe for the middle bedroom which made it difficult to store clothing especially for a weeks hire. We found the toilet pumps unusually noisy This wasn't the case on a 'Sandpiper' that we hired the previous year. All in all it was dissapointing!

The boat was excellent, clean and well set up. The location for cruising the Llangollan was also great. My only criticism was the size of the for'd bed

The interior of the boat was up to the normal good standard but on our second morning the engine lost all power in forward gear. We called the marina at 9.15 but as there was only one engineer in attendance he was not able to get to us until 1.30pm. The fault was found to be that there was no oil in the gear box. After tightening all fittings and refilling the gear box with oil we were able to continue our trip. This meant that we had lost more than 1/2 day of our cruising time and that the time that we planned to spend in Llangollen had to be curtailed. We are aware that a second boat broke down on the same day, leading us to suspect that proper maintenance may not have been carried out.
