The boat set up was really good, we had requested the reverse layout and think this really works well with a small group especially. Absolutely no problems with the boat. The mooring recommendations were much appreciated and on the money.

From checking in at Kings Orchard to leaving our boat at Whitchurch everything about our holiday was perfect. The boat was spotless, the handover went really well, the support we received from Whitchurch when we had a few difficulties (our doing - nothing wrong with the boat) Iwas excellent. We would all thoroughly recommend ABC for anyone considering a canal holiday.
