Your recent holiday on Goose - White Fronted Goose from Hilperton

We had a lovely time, my husband, myself and my two elderly parents, both of whom have mobility problems. The first morning it was raining, but it stopped by lunchtime and although it wasn’t brilliant blue skies every day, we enjoyed the scenery and helpfulness of people we met. We went from Hilperton to Bath and back and the scenery is stunning. It is a very relaxing holiday.

Your recent holiday on Heron - Humblots Heron from Wrenbury

We had a wonderful experience overall. The weather wasn't always on our side but the canal boat and associated activities, including negotiating locks, lift bridges, water and refuse facilities, was everything I expected and more. It's just a shame that we couldn't have longer mooring in Llangollen warf. 48 hours really isn't long enough and as it wasn't full. We felt that we should have been able to stay as long as we paid the daily fee and no other boats were missing out. It would have been even better if there were more noise canalside pubs along the way. For example Lion Quays was a perfect dinner spot with easy access, great food and lovely service. We did have some bother with a smokey exhaust from the central heating and a faulty gas regulator but the Wrenbury engineer Martin was great, coming out to fix the regulator and provide guidance on how to operate the boat and especially how to start with a flat battery. The electric lift bridge at Wrenbury didn't operate as expected, causing a traffic jam and some embarrassment. The kettle had scaling even though we had asked and were advised that it hadn't, but this could be a case of what we were both expecting or used to. The boat's manual needs to show a relevant image and descriptions for the central heating appliance to our boat, as it may have been the cause of us flattening our starter battery on four occasions. The bow rope could have been a bit longer to make mooring easier at Llangollen, where the jetties are much shorter. Thanks for a great time.

Thank you for your feedback. As you and your crew took an extended holiday, we can see why the mooring limit in Llangollen would have been frustrating for you but for most of our customers 48 hours is plenty. There are buses that run from Trevor and Frontcycyllte to Llangollen if you ever decide to retrace this route. We're pleased to hear that our team at Wrenbury were able to resolve your technical issues and also offer you additional advice about starting the engine. It sounds as though you had a wonderful two week holiday, making plenty of memories, even if some of them were a little embarrassing! We hope you will be back for another holiday with us again in the future.

Very early return time and not easy to moor up nearby

Thank you for your feedback. Our return and collection times are based on the time needed to prepare each boat ready for it's next hire. Each boat is cleaned, refuelled, pumped out and any necessary maintenance work carried out before the next guests arrive at 2:30pm later that day. We hope you enjoyed your holiday on the beautiful Llangollen Canal and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Your recent holiday on Gull - Pacific Gull from Gailey Wharf

Lovely to have a new boat (although with a seasons scars it was quite difficult to tell from the outside). A bit disappointing that although new, interior fittings don't seem to have moved on much over the years- single glazed windows are still dripping in the morning at this time of year. We were given a warn welcome and enjoyed the banter during instruction, Being shown a full tank of fuel and not arriving to find the engine already running gave us much more confidence in the fuel deposit plus system compared to other depots.

23 Oct 2018

Carolyn

It's great to hear that you received a warm welcome and that your handover was relaxed but efficient. Pacific Gull is a new build boat but if you are looking for a boat with more modern features then our Lark, Dove or Duck Class boats may suit you better. We hope to see you again soon.
