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

They were ready and waiting for us at Blackwater Meadow Marina. I had called a couple of days before to order a Pearson’s Guide. Everyone was very helpful. Once there we had good instruction on the boat itself, rules of the waterways, how to work locks etc and they answered all our questions fully, plus ensured we knew how to contact them should any problems arise. All the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Impressed with the whole set up and can’t wait to have a canal boat holiday again.

Couldn't fault it apart from the hose for water but that's a minor.

Our trip was perfect. Katie was great getting us ready to go with advice and what to do. Lori our engineer who walked us through the operation of the boat was great. The boat itself was very clean and ready to go. It was a great experience and trip.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Golden Crested Wren from Alvechurch

Our third trip with ABC - but the first from Alvechurch, and the first "short break" with just two of us rather than seven days with family or friends. The shorter boat was definitely simpler in locks - this is something that you can do as a couple (although having four people is ideal if three can run around and do locks during a long flight - and share the labour a bit)

Service really couldn't be better. Very helpful at commencement of hire and termination. Good recommendations for pubs and food en route. Boat was in full working order and refund of fuel on return was very simple. Not only efficient, but friendly with it.

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

We hired Lucy's Warbler a 69ft boat for four days on the Llangollen Canal from Whitchurch Marina. The boat was absolutely spot on. Very well appointed and kitted out with everything you need. The staff at ABC Boat Hire were genuinely superb! Very friendly, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Nothing was to much trouble. We had a fantastic trip and would definitely do it all again. Highly recommended.

We went boating for a family celebration. All 8 of us were novices. Communication beforehand was very good: we needed more info for the app and asked permission to decorate the boat before handover time. All essentials were provided, beds made and full instruction given.
