Your recent holiday on Warbler - Aquatic Warbler from Worcester

ABC is a superb company supporting newbies to canal life; tuition great, boat v comfortable, super clean and well stocked with all the kit we needed. Just the right amount of guidance balanced with the freedome to discover boating. A truly blissfully week. Highly recommended for families of 10-15 year olds battling against the tide of the gaming culture. We laughed more together this week than we have in a long time. Do it.

Your recent holiday on Wye - Tyr from Blackwater Meadow Marina

We arrived at the marina slightly early as agreed, but the people that had the boat before us had arrived back very late so unfortunately it wasn't ready, they did try and get us out and on the canal as soon as they could. ( a phone call before hand would have been nice as we could have stopped off in the village for a while) We had our onshore training then some training on the canal itself and although our trainer was good and knew what he was doing we felt, as first timers, we could have done with a little more practice before being let loose, this being said you learn as you go and boaters are generally very helpful. The boat itself was very clean, with a few essentials to get you going, but do make sure you take food with you as the shop doesn't sell any and you can't always guarantee getting to where you think you will. All in all we loved it and and the staff were all very friendly would definitely use ABC again in the future because we will 100% go again...... A little more practise training and a courtesy call to say they were running late would have given five stars.

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback. It is disappointing to hear that a late arrival on the previous booking delayed your agreed early start. It would have been a good idea for a member of staff to give you a call to warn you but they may have decided that you would already be on your way. Some of our Marina's are located near to shops or supermarkets but we do always recommend that customers bring some provisions with them for the first night or order an online food delivery to the Marina. We are really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the experience and we look forward to welcoming you back aboard soon.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Sky Lark from Falkirk

Relaxing Holiday but canal closures frustrating

15 Sep 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback, we're pleased to hear that you found the route to Edinburgh relaxing. It has been a frustrating year for stoppages and closures and we are very grateful to all of our customers who have made changes to their bookings. We are hoping that everything will be back to normal in 2019! We hope to see you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Gull - Herring Gull from Alvechurch

It was our first experience on a narrow boat (although we have had several other boating holidays) - and it was a really good one: Lots to do - interesting waterway - although hectic with the locks! Really impressed with the boat itself and its amenities / provisions. The staff at the boatyard were very good and amenable too. My only disappointment was in not having rear seating - having booked a cruiser stern I thought that there would be seating!

14 Sep 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for your lovely feedback, it's great to hear that you enjoyed your first holiday on the canals and your chosen boat. It sounds as though you chose a route to keep you all busy! If you decide to take another holiday you may find the seating on the semi traditional boats suits you better. We hope to welcome you back aboard in the near future.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Dune Lark from Wrenbury

We spent a week in August travelling to Llangollen and back and what an amazing experience it was! We all enjoyed working the locks and bridges. One of the highlights was travelling across the Pontycylty Aquaduct. The views on the canal were wonderful. We couldn't fault ABC - they gave us great advice before we booked and were really helpful when we arrived at the boatyard to collect our boat at the beginning of our holiday. Would very much recommend this company.

Carolyn

Thank you for your lovely comments, we are really pleased that your holiday met all of you expectations and you made some wonderful memories. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard in the future.
