A very enjoyable short break

A good holiday. Despite the length, the boat was easy to control. The boat could have been more comfortable inside though. Compared to other boats the seating had no cushion backs, and the kitchen position meant it was difficult to pass if someone was cooking. It also lacked carpeting that other boats had. Having said all that everyone enjoyed the canal experience. I would choose ABC boat hire again but choose a different boat. We were shown other layouts when we got back. I would also like to thank the engineer and staff on being so helpful when we had engine difficulties.

Thank you for your feedback. The Owl Class has been designed for larger parties with two dinettes, offering a more flexible layout. If you are looking for more comfort on a large boat then the Warbler Class would perhaps be a better option for you and your crew. We are pleased you enjoyed your experience and we look forward to helping you plan your next holiday!

Great overall experience. The canal was challenging but the boat wasn't. Well equipped and very comfortable. Would certainly use your company again for a canal boat holiday

Our first-time on a Narrowboat adventure and we thoroughly enjoyed it! A great challenge and yet, so enjoyable and relaxing. We will be booking again next year but extending out to a week or even 10 days to go further afield.

Booked online from USA. The boat was exactly as described, obviously well maintained, it was clean and the galley well stocked with pots, pans and plates. The staff was helpful in assisting in the planning of our two week tour of the Avon Loop. Identification of water points would have most helpful. The boat was not ready at time promised, but it was return late, so hard to hold the marina responsible.

Thank you for your feedback. The Avon Ring is a fantastic mix of river and canal, with some lovely places to visit on enroute and we're pleased the marina were able to help you plan an itinerary. It is disappointing to hear that you boat wasn't ready, with the boat arriving late back from it's previous hire the marina staff would have worked hard to catch up but wouldn't have wanted to compromise on the maintenance or cleaning required. We hope you will be back for another adventure on our canals again soon!

Would have been 5 * but for issues with the toilets!

Boat was a little tired, the curtains kept falling off the ends of the rails so needed to be fixed, the fridge didn't seal properly so warmed up rather quickly. Otherwise, the boat was quiet and handled really well.

Excellent 4-night break up the Llangollen Canal, on the 47ft Clarks Grebe narrowboat from ABC. Lovely, clean, modern boat that was well maintained and efficient. I would highly recommend this holiday company.
