So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
3rd Canal boat holiday, done one every 5 years, this was the best yet. Scenery beautiful, not too many locks, aqueducts, tunnels, great variety.

Because we thoroughly enjoyed our first holiday for a very long time!

Internally the boat was very clean and everything worked well; mechanically the boat was obviously well maintained. The staff at the base were very friendly and efficient and Covid-compliant. Our criticisms are minor to be fair and only commenting because of over 40 years of hiring on the canals: design of table in front cabin meant there was a tight squeeze getting through the front doors - we hired a Wren last year from another base and don't remember having this issue? The toilet needed a pump out on the Thursday of our first week and on the Tuesday of our second week - not overused, and used normally and this surprised us: we have never had this issue before as pump-outs have normally lasted a full week (is there a smaller holding tank on this boat as it does seem to be an older boat?). Externally we felt there was need of an overhaul: signs of a lot of rust on the port side of the boat and need for a complete repaint of the whole exterior as paintwork is faded as the boat externally is showing its age we felt. This is only cosmetic as everything was well maintained and we had an excellent holiday on the south Oxford and Ashby canals. These are only minor niggles. Would hire from ABC again.

Very much enjoyed staying in board our canal boat and the scenery was lovely

The boat was very tired and we had several problems during the week. One of the pumps broke down resulting in no cold water. The hot water would not heat up without us putting the heating on! The marina staff were very helpful and even returned property that we left on the boat.

Boat was great, clean with everything we needed; although the engine sounded a bit unhappy toward the end of our trip. We would have like more info about mooring - eg we're only allowed on the tow path bank. We moored in someone's private spot by accident, we realised our error but it was hard work getting into the space!! The canal was disappointingly dirty - obviously not the fault of abc at all, just the wider community. We plan to donate to the canal and river trust to help clean up. We really enjoyed our trip and will be boating again soon!!
