Your recent holiday on Warbler - Garden Warbler from Gayton

Great experience, turned up at Gayton everything well sign posted, staff excellent in reception. Shown to boat by Paul who was very knowledgable and provided a great handover. Paul turned the 90 foot boat around for us and we were all set. Left the Marina and had a great week. On return same excellent service experienced. Well Done to all at Gayton Marina.

Your recent holiday on Nene - Oscar from Gailey Wharf

We had a brilliant four night cruise from Gailey Marina to Stone and back. The staff were really friendly and explained the workings of the boat clearly and comprehensively. On board the boat was well laid out and tidy, with everything we needed. A couple of cushions around the galley seating would have been the icing on the cake. The guide on the website was pretty accurate - how far we could travel etc. Even the poor weather couldn't put us off - we're already thinking about our next holiday!

Your recent holiday on Dove - Emerald Dove from Gailey Wharf

We had a lovely time, the staff were very friendly and helpful. It would be very difficult for them to improve our experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone else.

Excellent friendly service as always.

Your recent holiday on Gull - Slender Billed Gull from Wrenbury

All the people at ABC were extremely helpful & friendly, also the barge was well equipped & comfortable. Our main recommendation for people taking a 'relaxing' barge holiday would be to not motor for more than 4 hours a day as otherwise you get little 'down-time' to relax. Also to buy the appropriate Pearson's Canal Map as it provides a lot of invaluable information on your route.

Your recent holiday on Sandpiper - Purple Sandpiper from Gayton

I was really pleased with the service we had from ABC. They were great at communications during lockdown, they had a reasonable response to the uncertainty. Transfer of the boat was perfect - and adherence to Covid requirements was great. It was a super fun three nights, with great time on the canals.
