Your recent holiday on Lark - Grays Lark from Whitchurch Marina

Helt suverän resa med bra service, fin natur allt funkade som förväntat trots lite krångel med rutten eftersom kanalen rasat. Vi var fem som åkte alla lika nöjda.

Your recent holiday on Goose - Emperor Goose from Alvechurch

The boat was very good and well appointed. Moorings were plentiful and easy.

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Barred Warbler from Alvechurch

All aspects exceeded expectations as first time canal boat users, we were surprised and delighted about how easy the whole process of handover and getting started was.

Fantastic week, great boat, lovely holiday! Shame about the weather though. Many thanks to all the staff at Gayton marina for prepping the boat so well and all the help and advise. We'll be back.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Dune Lark from Wrenbury

The boat was not as luxurious as we have been used to on previous boating holidays. For example why are there no padded seats for the external seating? One of the toilets had not been cleaned properly and smelt badly for a couple of days until we cleaned under the rim. The hairdryer is inadequate. We had to run the engine a lot to get sufficient hot water and that is with just three people on the boat. The fold down seat in the saloon is not level when down and is very uncomfortable to sit on. A chopping board would be useful. The measuring jug was cracked and should have been replaced. The filtered water tap is far too slow. I tried one on a boat next to us when we got back which was much faster. Perhaps the pump needs changing? The hood on the waterproof jacket does not have any apparent means of attachment to the jacket? The rear hatch is difficult to close and in order to bolt the doors internally you have to lift it which is both difficult and can cause trapped fingers. Twice I bumped my head on the tiller pin when tying up at the back which is highly dangerous as it is pointed! The rear mooring rope was frayed and far too short to be of any use. There should be a spare one. The mooring stakes should have an eye on them so that the rope can be passed through and back to the boat. Last year our holiday was cancelled due to an engine failure. This year we had to start from Whitchurch instead of Wrenbury thereby missing out on 7 locks. I realise both were beyond your control but it has been quite frustrating for us and together with all the other above mentioned points will make us think twice before using ABC again.

Your recent holiday on Finch - Red Poll Finch from Goytre Wharf

Friendly staff gave a thorough explanation of the boat's facilities. Pretty canal with lots of interesting features making for a fun, enjoyable holiday. Good value following sale. Marina not the largest or best equipped but is located in an area with many interesting historic features. Also a nice cafe nearby with a visitors' centre, so plenty to see.

the best boat we have had in 10 years and a beautiful canal

Your recent holiday on Swallow - Red Chested Swallow from Goytre Wharf

Allt fungerade mycket bra: hämtning och lämning av båten, introduktion av personal på plats, båtens alla funktioner och VÄDRET! Kanalturen vi gjorde Goyte Wharf till Llangatock och tillbaka var mycket fin och lummig. Kanalen är här ganska grund och lerig, så man får passa på hur man kör...

Your recent holiday on Derwent - Niord from Gailey Wharf

Staff are excellent, boat was well maintained, reliable and clean. Really cant fault your staff, very friendly and helpful Constructive criticisms would be, sharper knives and better quality would help. Our television was inoperable due to a damaged remote control, this didn’t spoil our holiday but we would have liked to hear the News occasionally. Final niggle was the curtain opposite the bathroom which kept sliding off the rail.

Your recent holiday on Owl - Scops Owl from Blackwater Meadow Marina

Your recent holiday on Medway - Rodulf from Gailey Wharf

Our only gripe would be that the upholstery and bed mattress could be upgraded as not very comfortable at night. But other than that we had a great weekend.

Your recent holiday on Wye - Horik from Worcester

Excellent weekend, we all had a great time, not quite as relaxing as the girls had hoped but that said once we were all into the swing of the locks we all enjoyed it....and still time for a pint and a G&T. Horik was a big boats so just took an hour or two to get used too.

Carolyn

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We do expect novices to take a couple of hours before they feel fully confident steering their boat but usually by the end of the holiday they are fully fledged captains! It's great to hear that you enjoyed your weekend afloat and we hope to see you all again soon.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Rock Wren from Whitchurch Marina

Fantastiskt positiv upplevelse, allt från professionellt och kundvänligt mottagandet på plats till garanterade återkopplingar och servicemindhet under hela hyrtiden. Fungerade u.a. och enkelt från internet-bokning till fysiskt avslut/återlämning. Kan varmt rekommendera denna leverantör!
