So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
It was a lovely restful break,we did think that our boat struggled going 4mph. Other similar boats were easily catching us up

See below. Comments on the boat condition - 1. Loose shackle pin at centre line fixing. 2. Cupboard door catch fell off so that door swung open blocking passage - I carry a toolkit so removed the door! 3. The boat is 'tired' but everything did work well.

Excellent holiday. Well-equipped boat on a beautiful stretch of canal. Downsides were few but to list a couple, the canal was very busy with lots of moored boats which meant speeds had to be extremely slow most of the time and mooring spots were sometimes a bit difficult to find. The other one which irritated me was when we left the marina after having the technical instruction. I was clearly a novice and the instruction was mindful of that but when the instructor left the boat and we started to head off, I was shouted at and the instructor came running back to inform me somewhat patronisingly that I hadn't tidied my ropes correctly! I would have at least understood to an extent had I actually been advised how to do so. However, it did not spoil the rest of the holiday which was superb.

A very pleasant weeks holiday. I think all the family had fun. We did have a volcano in the toilet but managed to sort it out. Thank you very much.

The boat is for 12 people, but we had 10 adults on it and it was not comfortable for so many. The teapot had no lid, the cooker had only one shelf, and was not man enough for cooking for 10/12 people. The seating at the front only took 4 people and again it was crowded at the back if 4 people were there, so that meant there was never room for all of us to be outside in the fresh air. Normally ~ABC boats are much better.,

Thank you for your feedback. The Swan Class is designed to accommodate 12 people and is ideal for two families or a crew on a budget. Space is limited onboard, which is why we do encourage customers to check the 360° tour on the website to be sure that the boat will suit their party before making a booking. We hope you will be back to enjoy another holiday with us again soon.

Arrival and takeover of the boat were straightforward. Easy parking with good access to the boat for loading. A friendly welcome also included a necessary safety brief. Instruction was relevant to our previous experience and respectful of COVID restrictions. The boat was cleaned to a high standard. The only minor critisism was that the matresses were 'Tired' which was noted in our handover feedback. Wrenbury offers a good choice of canals. We headed for Chester/ Ellesmere Port and despite being in mid August we saw very little boating traffic.

Comfortable. Well maintained and clean barge. Excellent handover by Richard which made the whole family confident with the boat setup and how to ensure we returned it in the same condition etc.

Lovely boat and helpful staff at the marina. They explained everything clearly and the boat was spotless and exactly as we’d hoped.

Fantastic holiday enjoyed by all the family. This was our first narrow boat holiday but certainly won't be the last. Our boat was very clean and well presented with everything we needed for a relaxing break. Lynn and the all team at the Wrenbury marina were extremely welcoming and explained how to operate the boat and the canal system very clearly.

Everything and everyone was excellent. We enjoyed our boat we hired very much . We have some good memories. Only 2 things were disappointing, one being internet access for the biggest part we were aware that access couldn’t be guaranteed but we had problems everywhere and every time we travelled and when we did connect it was always disconnecting one person had her own data and did not have a problem connecting for lengths of time . The other thing is two passengers came home with a bad back because the beds were absolutely hard rock solid absolutely no give in the mattress and the other bed made into a double the piping on the mattresses was digging into them and again you could feel the old springs through them some newer softer mattresses are needed or at least a memory foam soft topper . The seats are very uncomfortable and cushions were flat so it wasn’t very comfortable at all . Everything else was excellent . Very clean
