So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Your online video mis- represents what you may end up with, ours had no safe for the children's valuable tech IPADS, PSPs etc and our monies, very disappointing! Your video states that the boats have both a toaster and microwave as shown in your video, neither were present (not impressed), kitchen door handle repletely falling off locking us in the rear section of the boat, a definite fire hazard as no escape would have been possibly if the handle choice to fall off in an emergency, bathroom flooring rucked up potential trip hazard, shower wood work looking very tried and tatty, only two plug sockets in a cupboard, not in main areas as shown in your video, toilet that required a bucket of water poured down to clear blockages , not informed about this lovely task before commencement, video shows and says that the boat has a central safety hatch, No it did not!! No mention of the data cap on the WI Fi system, which is very very limited, video shows rear seating area totally non-existent. In essence you portray a Rolls Royce boat with all the mod cons, but in reality, supple a Robin Reliant version to some of your customers. This should be stated and a relevant prise reduction should be applied accordingly. P.S. inferred a VAT cash back informed us you were making representation to the Government in regard to this, YET never feed back to your customers of the outcome. Your faithfully David Ward

WiFi did not work for the entire week. I needed to keep in touch with work and this had been a deciding factor for choosing this boat. Very disappointing. Radiator in middle bedroom produced no heat so bedroom was very cold. Raging draft through the bow doors. Extremely noisy fridge, ancillary Buzz building to a crescendo before compressor switched off. So loud we had to turn up the tv volume to hear the programme each evening.

Not even a pandemic, a dam breach, bad weather and lots of weed can stop us from loving holidays on a narrowboat.

Whatever the weather, there is nothing better than chugging along at a few miles an hour taking in such varied scenery on a boat that more than meets the needs of a family of 5 for a week.

This was our first canal boat holiday for some 15 years and was booked as it provided a safe bubble in the madness or COVID-19. ABC had thought through the process carefully so as to make us feel comfortable from the instruction of how to handle the boat and what to expect at the locks and instructions on how to leave the boat at the end of the holiday. The boat was very comfortable and warm with on board facilities all in full working order. Showers were hot, toilets flushed & the the oven & hob worked perfectly although the fridge wasn't as cold/frozen as we're used too but that didn't impact on food quality. Other boat users were considerate when it came to passing boats and navigating busy parts of the canal. I cannot recommend ABC Boat Hire highly enough and we look forward to booking another holiday with them next year.
