So don't take our word for it, see what over 10,000 of our customers are saying about us!
Having never been on a narrow boat, we were pleased to receive simple but expert instructions from Ian, who was also very helpful with some handling tips. The boat was spotlessly clean, comfortable and well maintained. It was equipped with all mod-cons and supplied with plenty of fuel, gas and water. The Staffordshire and Shropshire canal system was ideal for us on our first cruise, with much of interest to see and a good variety of features to negotiate. Bridges, locks, a little viaduct and more. Lots of great pubs and pretty villages to visit. In conclusion, "Brilliant"!!!!!

Overall experience was amazing we really enjoyed driving the boat it was really fun, the only downsides were the bed as a double was not very comfortable, the water pump made loud noises unless you turn it off at nights and the can opener didn’t work. Apart from those three things I highly recommend it.

Lovely holiday despite cool damp weather. The canal was quiet and so peaceful. We saw kingfishers several times, moorhens, ducklings and herons. Everything on the boat was in a good state of repair and we had no mechanical problems. Really appreciated the central heating!

It sounds as though you really experienced the magic of the canal, even if the weather wasn't on your side! We hope you will be back for another holiday with us again soon.\n

Well laid out boat which handled well. Efficient and helpful staff who helped resolve my flat tyre issue on our return to the base. Despite popularity of Llangollen canal it was quieter than expected.

We had a most enjoyable week. The boat was okay but a little bit tired and the equipment was on the cheap side. Have definitely had nicer boats.

Love this type of holiday. Busy as you wish to make it, countryside by canal is so relaxing. Need to be able to work together as a team. Even though we had some problems with our boat we made the most of it, we were not going to let them spoil our holiday.

There's no better way to see the countryside than on a canal boat! We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your holiday and hope you will be back again soon!

Over the years, we have booked over 30 holidays with ABC boat hire and on the whole have been very happy. On the odd occasion, when there has been a problem, it has always been resolved. However, without doubt, some ABC boats are now starting to look and feel their age. Sadly some of the boats are shabby and in need of a complete refurbishment. . These comments are levelled at those who are responsible for the quality of the boats certainly not the staff who take the bookings or the boat yard staff....they did everything they could to ensure that we had a nice holiday. Whilst I understand that hire boats sometimes get rough treatment, this is the start of a new holiday season ... when everything should be at its best. Perhaps ABC management should remember that there are other holiday companies and some of them offer much smarter boats!
05 May 2018
Thank you, we do value feedback from our loyal customers and your comments have been forwarded to our Management Team. It is great to hear that for over 30 years you have been happy with our boats and the service you have received from ABC. We hope that we will be welcoming you again soon.

From the booking process until the time we vacated our boat, all the staff we had dealings with were friendly, informative and very efficient making all aspects hassle free. Our boat was very clean, in excellent condition and with many storage spaces. Little things, such as the practical welcome pack and good quality mooring ropes made a difference.
05 May 2018
What fantastic feedback, thank you! It's great to hear that you found the whole booking process hassle free and you received great service from Wrenbury Mill. We hope to welcome you aboard very soon!

The Mon and Brecs is a lovely canal with few locks so not too strenous but although plenty of water, the the canal is very low in places and it is easy to get grounded especially when passing other boats. The boat itself was very clean and well maintained although the layout was not the usual front or rear lounge and didn't seem to have the storage we have had before.Would certainly recommend.
04 May 2018
Thank you for your feedback. The Mon & Brec is renowned for being shallow in areas which is why our Finch and Swallow Class boats have been designed with a low draft to reduce the chance of grounding. We're pleased to hear that you were happy with the cleanliness of the boat and your suggestions of more storage have been forwarded to our boat building team. We look forward to welcoming you again soon!
