Your recent holiday on Mist - Scotch Mist from Falkirk

Staff were excellent - before the trip answering all emails promptly. We were 2 hours later than advised in leaving due to late orientation. I think time and sailing estimates were a bit low. We usually made it to points more quickly than advised. The Captain's map and booklet we were given are great resources. We had a problem ... partly our fault and partly the fault of the Canal Society, but we were not getting call backs from the Canal Society and thus wasted an entire afternoon stuck at a lock when we could have been sailing. ABC Boathire called the Canal Society on our behalf when we were not getting answers and got us moving again

Thank you for your detailed feedback. Our route timings are estimates and we do have to take into account that some crews will be first time boaters and may need to allow a little extra time to reach their destination. The team at Falkirk work hard to ensure our customers holidays run smoothly, liaising with Scottish Canals and ensuring customers have clear instructions on bridge openings and route information. It is disappointing to hear that you lost some time as you weren't able to contact Scottish Canals but we are pleased that you contacted the Marina who were able to resolve this for you. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future!

Your recent holiday on Grebe - Red Necked Grebe from Hilperton

We absolutely loved our narrowboat holiday. The boat was in perfect order and comfortable. We saw other hire boats along the way and agreed ours appeared to be one of the best. ABC was great to work with, I was arranging my trip from the states and they made it very easy.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Sun Lark from Hilperton

First timers so nothing to compare it to, but we loved it, the holiday was really great, the boat was clean and completely reliable the staff were friendly and accommodating and the weather was exceptional ( I know they can’t take credit for that). All in all we were very impressed and wouldn’t hesitate to book with ABC again. All the best Chris
