Your recent holiday on Medway - Rodulf from Gailey Wharf

We just had a great time It would have been helpful if the fridge had been on and cold before we arrived and filled it up. Some delay on return because they tell everyone to get back for the same deadline causing a queue. We choose this boat with a bed at each end neither of which had to be dismantled daily - great to have two loos even though we were only three of us None of this detracted from a lovely time with our teenage grandson who really took to the driving and loved it

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. As Rodulf was not booked for the mid week break before your hire the fridge was turned off after it's previous booking. Although it had been switched back on again on the morning of your holiday, unfortunately it had not reached temperature by the time you arrived. Customers are all given the same arrival and departure times but it is unusual for everyone to return to the Marina at the same time as many opt to come back to the Marina the night before. It's great to hear that you all enjoyed your holiday and that your grandson really took to being captain! We hope to see you all again soon.

Your recent holiday on Thrush - American Thrush from Gayton

We thoroughly enjoyed the rural atmosphere, the pubs, shops and villages along the route. We met so many other people along our journey which was so nice. Coming from Canada, we liked interacting with the locals.

Your recent holiday on Medway - Agnar from Whitchurch Marina

We had an excellent holiday with lovely weather. The boat, though on the old side, met all our requirements. We understand that the boat is to be decommissioned at the end of this season which probably explains why we thought it was a little bit 'tired'. We enjoyed it so much we have booked to go again next year.

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your holiday on Agnar and that the weather was kind to you! We look forward to helping you plan your next adventure with us.

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Grasshopper Warbler from Gayton

The boat was lovely as it was so new, but we were disappointed that one of the toilets showed a red light after less than 3 days, we had a pump out and the red light was showing on the other toilet two days later in the morning, and the original one in the afternoon. This caused us a lot of anxiety, despite being assured by the boatyard that they would not be full. Also the filtered water Fawcett only released water at a dribble, and at times the tap fell off.

17 Oct 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback, it is disappointing to hear that you had some issues regarding the toilets and water tap and your comments have been forwarded to the Marina for them to investigate. It is great to hear that you thought the boat was lovely and that you had a good holiday. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Sky Lark from Falkirk

This was a holiday that I'd always dreamed of doing and it was everything I expected and more. It was one big exciting adventure! Driving the boat and then mooring where we wanted to stop for the night was just such a brilliant experience and we had so much fun. And the canal was so beautiful - the trees hanging over, White Swans, Squirrels, all the people on push bikes, other boats we passed - there was just so much going on. I even seen a fat Pigeon with a white ring around it's neck, lay an egg in mid flight that fell down into the canal. Amazing! We had a ball. Phillip & Carolyn. P.S. Tell Andrew I'll send him a copy of the film that I make of our journey in a few months after I finish editing it. ( And Andrew should remember me - I'm the guy in the Pith Helmet... Cheers)

We hope we can welcome you back for another adventure soon.

Your recent holiday on Bunting - Snow Bunting from Gayton

Our first holiday on a canal boat. We loved it and will be booking again. Snow Bunting was a lovely size for two. Well equipped. The only thing we found difficult were the hard ridges on the mattresses. We appreciate they have to be narrow mattresses but there are better ones on the market without the hard ridges but we coped using both the double beds so thanks to house keeping for making sure we well supplied. All the staff are amazing and so helpful. Nothing was too small to ask.

16 Oct 2018

Keri McLaren

Thank you for your feedback. It is great to hear that you enjoyed your first holiday on a canal boat and that you are eager to book again. It sounded like the Snow Bunting was perfect for your holiday and it provided you with everything you needed. We are glad that you found our team at Gayton so helpful and able to assist you during your break. We hope this mean you have caught the boating bug and we can welcome you aboard again soon.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Wood Lark from Rugby Wharf

Generally excellent but the waterproof suits had problems with tears and lack elastic in a very lerge set of trousers that fell down it attempting to use. AS it was mainly a dry week not too much of a problem , a wet week would have been difficult. A small problem with the pull down seat ...reported to the boatyard. Some of the bedding was not totally clean and was a little worn.

16 Oct 2018

Keri McLaren

Thank you for your feedback. It is disappointing to hear about the condition of the waterproofs and glad you enjoyed good weather so they didn't have to be used much. Thank you for reporting the issue with the pull down seat to our team at Rugby. I will pass on all of your comments including about the bedding to the marina. We are very happy to hear you still enjoyed an excellent holiday. We hope to see you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Goose - Emperor Goose from Alvechurch

The Barge was clean and well fitted out with all we needed for a lovely holiday, the staff where so welcoming and knowledgeable upon arrival and departure. we were made to feel important and relaxed. The team made sure that we knew how to manage the boat and the locks before setting us lose, they explained the dangers of not adhering to the correct procedures, this was done in a way that made us confident in the case of emergency but not afraid of the canal or the barge .
