We had a brilliant time. The boat was clean and comfortable. This was a present for my husband who had wanted to go on a barge for sometime, he really enjoyed stearing the boat. Will definately book for longer than a day in future.

I would certainly recommend them. I just found the centreline on the boat about 1 metre too short for comfort.

We appreciate your comment about the centreline length—it’s helpful to know and we’ll certainly take it into consideration for future improvements.

I left from Whitchurch and the lady in reception was an absolute pleasure, she told us everything we needed to know and answered all our questions I couldn’t fault her. The lady who did the hand over was equally brilliant told us everything looked after us and even came with us for the first 5 minutes. Then we had a great time so much so we are definitely booking a week next year

Everyone I talked to at ABC was helpful and friendly and the narrowboat was well-designed, clean and in good working order. This was my first canal boat holiday and I was glad to have taken the RYA ‘Narrowboat Experience Day’ practical course beforehand.

The communication was very smooth and easy, they were really helpful when needed,, giving us confidence in ourselves, just enough “education” as needed. And really looking for solutions when a bridge broke down on our final day, and we had to stay instead of going down the canal.

Went to Llangollen and return from Whitchurch - easily done in a week. Decided to go through the Chirk tunnel early in the morning etc - to miss this bottleneck and got over the Aqueduct before 11am. Great canal - take your time no rush.

The staff were all very helpful and friendly, whether when calling with a query, or on the day. The handover was very thorough and the boat, its facilities and all the crockery etc. We all had a thoroughly good day and would recommend the day's activity.
