The holiday would have been great but an unforeseeable issue with a broken swing bridge which threatened to end the holiday early was not handled well from a communication point of view.

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting both the positives and areas for improvement. We're really pleased to hear that you found the boat great and the briefing well handled—it’s always our goal to help guests feel confident and prepared. We’re sorry to hear that communication during the swing bridge issue didn’t meet expectations. Your comments are very helpful, and we’ll be reviewing how we can improve our response and communication in such situations. We hope this didn’t take away too much from your overall experience and would love the chance to welcome you back again.

Lovely boat and super helpful staff. It was a shame some of the canal/river routes were closed. Some of this information before hand would’ve been better to help us plan our route. Couldn’t fault the trip or the boat at all.

The boat was great and the briefing well handled. Communication was poor when a broken swing bridge threatened to stop the holiday early.

Highly recommend using ABC boat hire for a great getaway. Our boat was presented perfectly and we were shown the ropes and made to feel really confident before full handover. A wonderful experience for all!!

The whole process was easy and painless, even the boat orientation instructor was very good and explained everything to us and answered all our questions. I would use ABC boat hire again in the future

Not ABC's fault that all visitor moorings on River Avon taken up by "permanent boat owners" therefore two previously booked dinners in pubs had to be cancelled.
10 Aug 2025
Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the positive aspects of the boat facilities and service. We appreciate your understanding regarding the limited availability of visitor moorings on the River Avon, which is unfortunately beyond our control. We’re sorry to hear this impacted your plans, including your dinner reservations, and understand how disappointing that must have been. We always strive to provide the most accurate information possible and will review how we communicate mooring availability to help future customers plan their trips better. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on board again under smoother circumstances. ABC Boat Hire.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience aboard one of our boats from Wrenbury Mill Marina. Regarding your journey, reaching the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is possible on a 4-night break when departing from our Blackwater Meadow Marina. However, to complete the full Llangollen route from Wrenbury Mill, a 7-night hire is typically required. We always recommend contacting us directly if you have any questions about route planning or journey times — our team is more than happy to assist in making your trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We hope to welcome you on board again soon.

God service og meget fin, hyggelig og veludstyret båd. Lidt svært at gennemskue hjemmefra, hvor det er smart at starte sin tur ud fra hvilke ting, man gerne vil opleve…. Vi nåede desværre ikke aquadukten, fordi vi ikke havde tid nok, hvilket vi havde troet vi havde, ud fra beskrivelsen på hjemmesiden.

A really lovely canal to boat along. The canal boat had everything needed for the trip and was well equipped. We would have preferred a larger boat with more comfortable sleeping arrangements, but none were available for the week booked, but this was reflected in a much cheaper price, so value for money.

Thank you so much for your kind and constructive feedback! We're really pleased to hear that our team was friendly, helpful, and easy to reach before your trip—it’s great to know you felt supported throughout. We're glad the boat was well-equipped and that you enjoyed boating along such a lovely canal. We appreciate your comments about the sleeping arrangements and seating comfort, and we’ll certainly take that into account. It’s wonderful to hear you still found great value in the experience, and we hope to welcome you back again soon—perhaps with a larger boat next time!

Excellent service from the staff at Foxes boat yard in March, who operate on ABC’s behalf. The shower hose split half way through our trip and they came to the boat and replaced it within a few hours. When we needed a pump out they advised exactly where we could find the facility. The boat was clean and well resourced.

Thank you very much for your kind and detailed review. We're delighted to hear that you had a pleasant and memorable holiday, and that the team at Foxes Boatyard provided prompt and helpful service during your trip. It’s great to know the boat met your expectations and that you found Cambridgeshire such a rewarding area to explore — seeing a grey seal must have been a real highlight. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to welcome you back for another peaceful journey in the future. ABC Boat Hire
