Your recent holiday on Owl - Long Eared Owl from Gayton

Such a good experience with abc boat hire from start to finish. Had a great detailed intro to using the boat and tour of it. Some of us had been on one before but not for a while so was a good refresher. Our average age on board was lower than you’d expect to hire a narrow boat but we didn’t get treated like it Which was much appreciated. We knew we could call if any problems. Had the best weekend, the boat was equipped very well with everything we needed. We returned and boat was easily handed over and staff were very helpful and friendly. Can’t fault it.

Lovely boat but the shower didn't work properly it just trickled and the heater that done the radiators was very noisy also could do with one chair so i could of sat with hubby while he was driving and instead of picture in bedroom should be a mirror could see to dry my hair

Your recent holiday on Duck - Long Tailed Duck from Whitchurch Marina

The boat was really lovely and clean and the staff were very helpful before we left, especially as we were first timers. The holiday was really relaxing and we managed to get so much done without coming home feeling more tired than we started.

Thank you for your great feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found our team at Whitchurch to be so helpful and they were able to assist you on your first boating holiday. A break on the canal is always a good way to get some 'R and R'. We hope you enjoyed your first time with us, and hope to welcome you back again soon.

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Barred Warbler from Alvechurch

Boat great, apart from rear cabin bed & poor WiFi Two single beds to make a double without a zip attachment, doesn’t work. Woke up regularly down a hole in the middle. We run our own holiday let in Norfolk & use zip&linkto join two beds together. Works perfectly. Even if you had strapping to keep beds together would be better. Wife just persistently dropped signal- we all gave up on it. You shouldn’t advertise WiFi unless it’s reliable. Overall, you’re lucky to get a 4*.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your time on the Barred Warbler. We do state on our website that access to the internet is totally reliant on it being able to connect to the mobile telephone network. Without access to that network there will be no connection, and this connection cannot be guaranteed at any time. We are trying hard to improve this going forward. We have been made aware of issues with the beds previously and are looking at ways to improve this. We hope to see you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Cobbs Wren from Wrenbury

From the outset, the website was easy to navigate and booking was as easy as ABC ! Suggested routes and timings were really useful. The booking office staff were lovely to deal with and very helpful. Wrenbury Marina was easy to find and with ample parking. Upon arrival we received a very warm welcome. The boat was well prepared and had everything you could need for a holiday afloat. After the preliminaries and handover, we were ready for departure in minutes. The holiday was excellent and upon our return, check out couldn't have been easier. We look forward to our next trip from Wrenbury.
