Your recent holiday on Swallow - Red Rumped Swallow from Goytre Wharf

The booking was easy. The welcome was warm even though we were early. All staff were friendly and helpful putting us at ease. The boat was fully equipped and clean, wanting for nothing. When we encountered a mechanical problem it was dealt with quickly and without any stress.

It has been a very wet start to the boating season and it is a shame that this has affected your holiday. We will hope for better weather next time!

Your recent holiday on Thrush - Blue Rock Thrush from Hilperton

We hired The Blue Rock Thrush narrow boat for 6 people to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary. We are so pleased we did, everyone of us had the best time ever. The bad weather did not dampen our spirits. We had plenty of food drink and games to while away the evenings and we so enjoyed the slow pace of sailing up and down the canal from Trowbridge to Bath and back. Everyone enjoyed being captain as they all took in turns to drive the boat.. Everyone agreed that they would love to do it again. I highly recommend that people give it a go.. If we enjoyed it in the bad weather we had, I can only imagine how much more perfect it would be with lovely sunny weather. The boat itself had everything needed for 6 people including bedding and towels.. We loved it Thank you!

Your recent holiday on Wye - Tyr from Blackwater Meadow Marina

The boat was very tired. Improve that and you'd be five stars.

Thank you for your feedback. We are always building new boats and updating our fleet. Perhaps try a Warbler or Wagtail Class if you take another holiday with us. We hope to see you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Swallow - Red Collared Swallow from Goytre Wharf

The holiday was great, scenery was amazing and the weather was dry! However we had to pump out after 2 1/2 days which would indicate that it was not completely empty when we collected it. We had had a problem with the heating - there must be a leak with the water coolant as we had refill it three times - once we had purchased the anti-freeze required. Both these costs were refunded by the marina on our return.

Exactly! Exploring the country whilst you have your home comforts around you!

Your recent holiday on Plover - Piping Plover from Reedley Marina

Very friendly welcome, Roy in particular. Scenic canal. Modern well equipped boat. All lock keepers very helpful and cheerful. I can't take off a star just because it was a bit cold and wet!

Your recent holiday on Tyne - Sigrid from Worcester

Fantastic holiday! Despite the very 'British weather', this was an awesome holiday with our boat providing refuge and warmth when we needed it. 'Sigrid' (the boat) was small and perfectly formed for the 3 of us, and had everything we needed on board.

13 Apr 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback. The weather so far this year has been very challenging but we're pleased to hear that you still enjoyed your very wet adventure on Sigrid! We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Goose - Blue Goose from Hilperton

Comparing the boat to others we have hired, we were very pleased, on the whole. The kitchen was well equipped. The fridge was capacious and worked very well. The oven was also very good for a narrow boat. The storage was a tad limited, but what can you expect on a narrow boat, especially with a standard sized oven and under counter fridge? The engine was more than powerful enough - the Kennet and Avon between Hilperton and Bath has so many moored boats that you use tick-over most of the time - manoeuvring and coping with a British Waterways volunteer filling a lock quickly was a doddle. The biggest plus was how ABC boats responded to problems. The moment we reported an issue, it was dealt with; it didn't even impact on our holiday; we didn't even have to move the boat; some poor chap crossed a field four times carrying equipment to sort out our boat while we had a jolly time in Bath. The beds were also very comfortable. We shall book again.

Your recent holiday on Goose - Bean Goose from Wrenbury

Great service and staff from start to finish , couldn’t be more helpful. My only negative was that the boat was a little dated

Lynda

Thank you for your feedback.  We are glad you enjoyed a great service from our staff.  We are constantly reviewing our boats.  Perhaps next time you could try our Warbler class boat which is an updated version of the Goose.
