Your recent holiday on Lark - Tawny Lark from Hilperton

It was our first time boating but we received an excellent introduction, the boat was simple to operate and we had a wonderful time. We found it a very relaxing experience and the boat was comfortable.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Canyon Wren from Worcester

A very good boat but the waste tank fill indicator in the toilet kept flicking to red (I.e. full) and the WiFi insisted that you had to log in in full every time (first world problem). There was some excess grease in the cabinet containing the stern greaser so the windlasses were greasy. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Thank you for your feedback, which has been sent to the Marina so that the toilets can be checked. We are pleased that you enjoyed your time on Canyon Wren and that you found our staff at Worcester Marina friendly and helpful. We hope to see you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Goose - Blue Goose from Hilperton

Because from start to finish it was very good we went from Wrenbury the time before and on both occasions the staff were so thorough and helpful they were brilliant. The boat was clean and as we had been before we knew what we had to take.

Your recent holiday on Kestrel - Lesser Kestrel from Gailey Wharf

Even when booking, advice was excellent and readily offered. Once we arrived, the lady in the office was really helpful and informative about routes and what was to think about as complete novices. We were very early because we arrived by train and she kindly pointed us towards a nice shady spot to enjoy our lunch, the toilets, and the shop across the lock to look at route guides we had chatted to her about. The instruction we received, both about practicalities of maintenance and actually driving the boat were great; calm, informative, practical, and confidence-building. Lots of really good tips too. We went to just past Norbury Jct before turning around. Saw lots of Herons (and ducks and moorhen chicks)), six kingfishers along the way (haven't seen since I was teenager on Dartmoor), fish fishing, metal fishing, several buzzards, a couple of kestrals. Lucky enough to have fabulous weather. Really enjoyable. Thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are delighted to hear that our team at Gailey spent plenty of time with your crew and that you left the Marina happy with your route and confident driving your boat. To see such an array of wildlife on your first narrowboat holiday is fantastic! We hope you will be back for another holiday with us again soon.

Great holiday. ABC staff really friendly and helpful, very impressed. Boat was really well specced and it was obvious the ABC team cared as boat was very clean and we had everyhring we needed for our first boat holiday.
