So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
The boat was well equipped, very clean, good condition and layout and in good order generally. Provision of useful items appreciated. The only things that inconvenienced us was the water in the showers could not be regulated and a few Wi-fi problems. Advisable to plan route and facilities in advance

Everything about the experience was first class. We originally booked in 2020 but Covid meant we had to postpone til May 2021. Then the river Severn was in flood so another delay and eventually we sailed in July. Booking team superb throughout. The handover was excellent and as experienced boaters we only had to answer a couple of questions and then we were on our way. The boat was great with all the facilities you could want.

First time on a boat-it was an enjoyable trip.

Great Owl was a little bit tired compared to the boat we hired in may from Blackwater Meadow. The front fender was very old and came loose and the tiller handle came out, which we taped back on. Worcester marina replaced the fender and topped us up with water and pumped us out also, great services may say. I haven't heard back about a possible fuel rebate or if there was anything more to pay, but all in all it was another brilliant experience with yourselves.

We had an awesome time, but needed more of it to enjoy and also get used to the navigation of the boat. We only had two nights... Next time will book a longer stay. Highly recommend.

Perfect for the 2 of us. Had everything we needed, glad we brought deckchairs with us though. Would thoroughly recommend.

my holiday got off to a bad start due to the fact Tesco would not leave my shopping as I was not there. we do not drive so have to use train making it impossible for us to bring much with us. We planed to get a taxi to the local shop but your wonderful staff insisted on giving me a lift to a larger out of town shop were I was able to get all I needed. I find all your staff so helpful and they obviously take great pride in working for you. This is about the fifth time I have used you and always know I will get the best service from you.

We loved our trip! The onboard facilities were great and I feel like extra touches such as soaps and sponges etc were delightful. Been recommending canal boats to all my friends.

Boat well equipped and clean.

Mainly for the company on board (son & his partner & dog, celebrating our 40th anniversary). Weather was poor half the time but the supplied waterproofs were indeed waterproof. Pandemic made waterside pubs not as inviting as they would be. Great format for a holiday with family, will be doing this again

Draw in fridge damaged. Door to back bathroom hard to lock. All else very good.

Really friendly and helpful and the boat was really nice. An excellent holiday!

Storage was very inconveniently placed ie under beds, so that mattresses had to lifted to access items. We suggest that the milk jug be thrown away, dreadful dreadful pourer….teapot not to good either. Frying pan, everything stuck I tried little oil then loads of oil. Non stick definitely needed and also plastic/rubber utensils. Washing the pan was then a nightmare as it just would not clean up. I understand that nonstick does not last long but the price of a pan is negligible. Very frustrating. I’ll bring my own next time,,,,,
