Your recent holiday on Duck - Mandarin Duck from Worcester

The boat (a "Duck") was well maintained, and every inch of it was well thought out. The canals weren't crowded, and after a couple of locks they became routine. ABC did a great job preparing us for this, and it was a ton of fun!

Excellent friendly staff. Boat well-equipped, manoeuvrable and good performance.

Your recent holiday on Thrush - Veery Thrush from Aldermaston Wharf

Alt gikk veldig bra fra vi fikk båten og til vi reiste ut på kanalene,kunne vel hat litt bedre med datamengde på internett, men summa sumarium bra. Anbefales. Båten var veldig ren og pen da vi fikk den.

Your recent holiday on Thrush - Fieldfare Thrush from Alvechurch

The staff and boat were great. A log jammed in our propeller and the engineer was out to us within an hour to knock it loose with a crowbar. Everything worked as expected and it was a great trip. It was our first narrowboating, and we thought we'd do the Birmingham mini-ring. But that's near impossible in 5 days (3 days really, since you pick up the boat at 3pm day 1, and return it 9am on day 5). But we still had fun pootling around. The scenery was not the greatest, (a lot of residential and an hour in a tunnel coming and going), so I wouldn't recommend our route for people who intend to enjoy the beauty of the countryside, but I have every confidence that my next narrowboat holiday will be smooth sailing because I mastered skippering on this one. =)

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Grasshopper Warbler from Gayton

Boat comfortable and easy to use Toilets seem to have a problem as needed pump out after 3 days with only 6 of us on board. We thought this may have ben due to amount of water they used by design. Due to water shortage and lock closure couldn't travel as far as we had hoped. We would have liked to have been informed of this prior to arrival at marina so that we perhaps could have planned a different route. WIFI data limit soon reached and although reset once after 'phone call to marina, even with minimal use seemed to max out again very soon.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found our Warbler Class boat comfortable! The toilets on board do have two flushes, a short flush and a long flush, perhaps if the full flush was being used each time this could explain why you needed a pump out after 3 days. Short term stoppages and restrictions are normally discussed during the boat handover as marina staff have local route knowledge and can advise guests accordingly. For customers who are planning a route ahead of their holiday we do encourage them to check the Canal & River Trust website to keep up to date with any changes and to contact the marina for any advice. We hope you will be back to see us again soon.
