So don't take our word for it, see what over 2000 of our customers are saying about us!
I think this boat is probably one of the older boats in the fleet. It felt "well used". The heating was not really up to the job for the time of the year. It took a long time to warm up and appears to be quite expensive to run. The batteries must be coming to the end of their life to as they were unable to maintain the 240v inverter throughout the night, even after a 6 or 7 hour cruising day, meaning that every morning, the fridge was off.

The whole experience was great, the staff at ABC were helpful and friendly during the booking process, and the staff at Hilperton Marina were the same. We were welcomed on board with a lovely little tea tray that included a small vase of fresh flowers. The boat was very clean and comfortable, the bed linen was good. My only issue was the fact that the saucepans were inadequate for a party of 8. None of the saucepans were large enough to cook for our group.

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found our team in the booking office and at Hilperton so helpful and friendly. We are glad that you were impressed with the facilities on board Blue Goose, including the tea tray and fresh flowers! It sounds like you had a relaxing holiday on board the comfortable Blue Goose. We do advise our customers to check with us or the marina directly to check what is provided on board our boats. We hope to see you again soon.

We were a bit dissapointed that we were not able to leave from the marina we booked for due to low water levels (we understood this could not be helped) The staff at the marina we were allocated to were a bit stressed that they had to look after us as it was not one of their boats. None of us had been on a narrow boat before but we soon got the hang of it and we had an amazing experience on the tufted duck and would recommend it to our friends and family. We will be booking again for next year!

Thank you for your feedback and the great pictures! We are happy to hear that we could accommodate you from a different marina due to the low water levels else where. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your first time on a canal boat and you were able to get the hang of it so quickly. We are also glad to hear that you enjoyed the whole experience and we look forward to welcoming you aboard in 2019!

Was insufficient tuition in how to pull away from side etc and made for a difficult start & end to our ‘holiday.’ Didn’t appreciate having to buy maps at inflated price either. Boat was well equipped but the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever had the misfortune to ‘sleep in.’
05 Nov 2018
Thank you for your feedback. It is disappointing to hear that you found the bed on Sigrid uncomfortable and that you felt that certain aspects of your handover were insufficient. The books/maps in our Marina Shops are sold at the RRP on the back of the book as we do encourage all of our customers to purchase one for their holiday. We hope you will be back to see us again in the future.
