Boat was immaculate and everything we needed was provided on board.

The canals on which we sailed are somewhat hazardous and poorly maintained. In addition we had little idea what to expect, and what places would be worth seeing. It was only Thorne Marine in Stockton Heath who gave us some useful information and improved the trip.

Excellent service from the ABC team from the Admin team to the engineers. Boat was fantastic and we had a great time.

A few things could have been done better. We were first time narrow boaters and although we bought maps more help with our route would have helped. A couple of lamps were out in the cabin and bathroom. The two single beds in the forward cabin were not comfortable. In my bed the mattress kept slipping off. We must be tough because we would do it again.

Boat was extremely clean. All staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. ABC Boats could not have done more.

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.

An idyllic section of canal to explore.
