Your recent holiday on Daylark from Gayton Marina

What an amazing experience. None of our group knew how to drive the canal boat but there was a great dvd and then we were shown a quick tutorial on the water. Every single member of staff was friendly and helpful. We went all the way to Nether heyford and back stopping at Bugbrooke for a drink at The Wharf. Would highly reccommend this day trip to everyone looking for something a bit different and relaxing.

Your recent holiday on Thrush - Siberian Thrush from Whitchurch Marina

Staff at the marina were extremely helpful, especially Jason, Jane and Ray. However, could've done with a cafe at the marina, and also a shop which sold basic provisions like milk, eggs, butter, bread, newspapers, etc

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

The team and handover at Goytre wharf were the best we have experienced on our numerous narrow boat holidays.Friendly, thorough and welcoming. Whilst we chose the layout of Red Billed Finch, a few alterations would have made the boat much more comfortable. There was inadequate space below the made up double bed for the saloon upholstery; a mirror in the main saloon would be useful as would a few extra KFS and plates. A fold up small table and chairs for the cockpit.The bedding was a bit tired!

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Hooded Warbler from Whitchurch Marina

Nice big boat, almost new. Clean and tidy. Good interior solutions. Great instructions before we cast off, and no trouble at all on the journey to Llangollen and back. We had a lovely week on the canal, and returning the boat was quick and hazzle free. We will be using ABC boat hire again!

Your recent holiday on Plover - Golden Plover from Alvechurch

Prior to travelling we called the office for advice on where to sail on our boat. We were told to do the Stourport ring and not to worry, we talk you through this when you arrive....we did our own research and realised how time consuming the Stourport ring would be. We had no idea we any other option. When we arrived we were given other easier options that were shorter. We feel that the information given prior to travel could be lot better leaving the people more informed.

Thank you for your feedback, which has been passed on to our Booking Office team. As well as having a variety of route options on our website (including cruising hours and number of locks) we do also encourage our guests to research their own route prior to the start of the holiday and ideally order the relevant map/guide. The amount of crew on board can also make a big difference to the effort required completing a ring route and should definitely be considered. Customers can contact their chosen Marina in advance of their holiday to discuss their proposed route and of course this will also be discussed during the handover of the boat. We hope you enjoyed the route that you took and we look forward welcoming you again in the future.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Happy Wren from Blackwater Meadow Marina

Very helpful, very patient with us as beginners boat was simple to use and the location is beautiful. The wifi could be a lot better on board (stronger and more stable) The water pump for the shower stuttered a bit so water wasn't constantly hot but to be fair we were advised of the problem. All in all a great holiday.

Very helpful and straightforward. Lovely boat with everything we needed

Your recent holiday on Thrush - Redwing from Wrenbury

Had a great time, boat really comfortable and as our first time everything explained really well. Only thing that should be explained is about the rubbish needing to be segregated and tell customers on route where to dispose of rubbish
