Your recent holiday on Bunting - Little Bunting from Aldermaston Wharf

it was a lovely holiday and we enjoyed it but due to the Canal not being the best and all the river people saying 'you chose the wrong canal' I can't give it 5/5 sorry

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you had a lovely holiday from Aldermaston Wharf. We do try and provide information for routes and also the teams at the marina would also happily advise when you are planning a route. There are staff and volunteers from the Canal and River Trust who work hard to maintain the canals. We hope to see you again soon.

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

My 2 teenage daughters thought it was the best holiday that they had ever had! We had gorgeous weather, excellent food from the pubs on the canal and no augments! Banning internet usage was the best thing I did. This holiday was all about working, living and being together. Thank you for such a brilliant holiday x

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear you and your family had such a fantastic holiday from Goytre Wharf. It sounds like you enjoyed spending some quality time together and all joined in with the activities associated with a canal boat holiday. Not every holiday needs WiFi to provide you with entertainment! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Eagle - Short Toed Eagle from Alvechurch

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff - with a smile. The boat was well equipped and very clean. We had a problem with the boat and the engineer came out quickly and rectified the problem. Again with a smile - despite it being the Friday of Bank Holiday! We couldn’t fault ABC boats

Your recent holiday on Duck - Mandarin Duck from Worcester

Very nice trip. It´s a bit harder to find a place to stay over night compared when you go on a canal. We took the river. The boat was very nicely equipped and everything went as expected. Thank you!

Excellent experience very different from a "normal holiday "

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

The toilet tank was full after less than 4 days despite the fact that there were only 3 of our 4 crew present at the time which suggests that it wasn't serviced properly. We were at Brecon and the emptying facility was operated with a prepaid card which we weren't told about at the handover. We had to make several phone calls to sort out the problem and the delay left us with no time to explore Brecon, which was very disappointing. The canal from Goytre to Cwmbran was poorly maintained resulting in poor progress and several stops to remove weed from the propeller. Apart from that, we had good weather and was an enjoyable trip.

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Lucy's Warbler from Whitchurch Marina

Amazing boat very modern and as always exceptionally clean. This boat is for 8 people and although we are only a family of 4 (+dog) we needed 3 double beds due to our children being adults. The space suited us perfectly. The staff at Whitchurch Marina were friendly, polite and professional.

Your recent holiday on Derwent - Hermod from Gailey Wharf

We have had canal holidays every year and we were impressed by the high standard of fitting out in Hermod. The staff at JD boats were so friendly and accommodating. We did have to call for support and nothing was too much trouble. The only regret we had was that we didn't book two weeks!

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback. We are really pleased you enjoyed your holiday from Gailey Wharf on our Derwent Class boat! It is also great to hear that our 24 hour support number offered you the reassurance you needed and that our team were able to resolve any issue you had over the phone. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard in the future, for two weeks next time!

Your recent holiday on Heron - Capped Heron from Gayton

On a whole we had a lovely holiday however very disappointed on the oxford canal very untidy banking and not many places to moor up safely most marinas had litte on or no over night stays. The water points are in the most ridiculous of areas right on a corner an not very visible and straight after a bridge need to have more signs in place.
