A bit more detailed info about the different routes and the various sights, attractions, pubs restaurants etc. would be good. Some of your competitors suply booklets with detailed canal maps and up to date info about the general area which I have found very usefull in the past. I am not sure wether this is detailed in your app,we tried to download it on the boat and swiftly used up our entire weeks wifi allowance and dont know wether we managed to download the whole app- maybe my fault for being a dinosaur!

Thank you for your feedback. We do encourage our guests to purchase a map/guide prior to arriving at the marina so that they can research the pubs and mooring places along their specific route. Our marina staff are always happy to offer route advice during the boat handover but with so much additional information to cover pubs may not always be discussed. The ABC App does highlight pubs and points of interest along the canal and we recommend customers download it at home where they have access to WiFi. We hope you enjoyed your holiday and we look forward to welcoming you in the future.

Had a great time. All went smoothly from booking, advance information, reception, the boat and final boat handover.

Everything about the hire from booking through to the return of the boat was handled promptly and efficiently. Kate in the office was very pleasant and had all the paperwork sorted upon our arrival. The instruction given by Ian and Nigel was excellent. They imparted all the necessary and relevant information regarding the operation of the boat and the canal system in a relaxed manner which ultimately meant that what they told us stuck, and as a result we had absolutely no problems for the week we had the boat. The boat itself was in was in excellent condition and was kitted out with all that was required for a life afloat. Gailey Wharf Marina itself could do with a revamp. Our first impression upon arrival was that it looked like a backyard junkyard and we wondered if we were in the right place. Having said that, overall we were very happy with our experience and would use ABC Boat Hire again.

Excellent holiday. Nice Marina,nice friendly people, good boat and lovely canal. We have done a few but Monmouthshire & Brecon canal is definitely the most picturesque and quiet. Chilled,stress free week. Even the weather was kind!!

Nice canal (Llangollen) clean and well equiped boat. Friendly and helpfull staff. The only disappoinment was that The Jack Mytton Inn in Hindford was closed. We had been looking forward a nice dinner at the pub, mooring up for the night. Please inform coming customers that it is no place to eat between Ellesmere and Chirk. (Restaurang in Maestermyn also closed)

This is our 4th year with ABC and really enjoy the canals holiday. In the past everthing has been excellent and although we still had a lovely time the boat plus equipment was a bit tired. Not up to previous standard.

Although we were novices, all 3 generations of our family enjoyed taking part in managing the boat, including the 3 year old who was great at running through the boat with messages! It was a lovely way to spend a weekend as a family, despite the rain!
