Your recent holiday on Bunting - Corn Bunting from Hilperton

The boat hire company was very good. The reception and staff who dealt witht the boat side of things, all very friendly. We had been on this canal before and it is much busier now and some very tatty boats moored up, piled high with rusty old bits and pieces, so we didn't enjoy the experience as much this time.

Your recent holiday on Sandpiper - Wood Sandpiper from Alvechurch

The paperwork and handover of the barge was poor with us having to wait approx 1 hour to get our brief and handover. Only 2 girls were in the office and available to help. Otherwise boat was clean and shipshape and the rest of the trip a very pleasurable experience

Your recent holiday on Swan - Black Necked Swan from Anderton

We loved our week on the blacknecked swan, we were very lucky with the weather. The whole week went very smoothly apart from our toilet blocking which was dealt with very efficiently. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Your recent holiday on Kestrel - Lesser Kestrel from Gailey Wharf

People were very friendly. The double bed in the main room was a bit small. The curtains had some squashed mosquito stains on them.

Your recent holiday on Swan - Coscoroba Swan from Alvechurch

The boat was old a tired and in general need of a refurb. There were areas that smelt very badly - under the the kitchen sink was awful and the toilets. Both slowers leaked out into the hallway and the front toilet leaked. There were 5 adults and 2 small children and a baby in our group and we found it very 'cosy'! How 12 people would manage on it I don't know!? Compared to other boats we have hired in the past, and there have been many over the years mainly from Anglo-Welsh, it was certainly poor. The bedding was thick and lumpy, and far too hot, especially for this time of year. The bedding certainly needs upgrading! In the kitchen there were no stirring spoons and the saucepans were dangerous as had metal handles which got very hot. The grill in the cooker didn't work unless you stood there with your finger on the button to keep it alight which was not practical at all. For the approx. £2700 we paid for the boat we thought it was well overpriced for just a week.
