So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
We hebben een goede vakantie gehad. Alleen het varen van Anderton naar Manchester v.v. was een beetje saai door de afwezigheid van sluizen.

We felt that the Staff was superb, friendly and most informative. The training we received was excellent, and all questions and concerns were addressed and answered. We especially appreciated the fact that the boat we rented, the Happy Wren, appeared to be in almost new condition, well-maintained and sparkling clean. I would recommend ABC Boat Hire to my closest friends without hesitation, the experience I received was top notch.

The interior of the boat was not very clean. The boats heater did not work so the boat was very cold by morning, it also necessitated running the motor to heat the water. We could not find sheets for the bed in the centre galley. The inside bed in the rear of the boat was very uncomfortable, on inspection the mattress was found to be dirty old and deformed.

Leaks from skylight in kitchen meant i had drips on my head when cooking. Leak was there on arrival, patch with silver tape did nothing when pointed it out. Door hatch in middle of boat had water pouring in when it rained heavily. Had to use towels to soak it up and then have to walk over cold wet towels in the night from bed to loo. Luckily we had an extra set as we had the boat for two weeks or we would have had to call the marina to supply us with more for this purpose. Please change the shower pump out switch to a simple on/off one like the previous boat we had. Having to stand there after a shower holding the switch down was tedious and had the kids complaining. It took a minimum 5 mins after every shower so over the two weeks holiday I spend 1hour10mins stood in the bathroom holding the pump switch. We all had to do the same. It would take an electrician 5mins to change the switch. The 12 flush warining on toilet was also ridiculous. There should be a guage telling you where it is like a petrol one on the car. It was not funny one evening (5 days in) have the red light come on & then realise we would have to travel for 5 hours the following morning to the nearest pump out and then pay £20 for it. Our previous boat lasted the full week and pump out wasn't even discussed?? Unnecessarily stressful for a family of 4. There was also a really strong smell of sewerage in the middle bedroom when it was breezy weather. The headlamp did not work which we discovered when we went to enter a tunnel - very dangerous! The other light at the front did not work and neither the pathetic hand charger torch supplied on board. We had to rely on our mobile phone torches?! Others we passed said they were given spare bulbs for their hire boats? Overall - really poor boat maintenance. Such a shame as it's a lovely looking boat.

Atholl Brose was a great boat. Because the boat was fairly new the amenities were modern and comfortable. The motor ran smoothly with not much noice. The bathrooms were 5 star and the shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. The kitchen was well presented with everything you would need. We loved our experience and would highly recommend Atholl Brose from Falkirk.

it was a lovely holiday and we enjoyed it but due to the Canal not being the best and all the river people saying 'you chose the wrong canal' I can't give it 5/5 sorry

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you had a lovely holiday from Aldermaston Wharf. We do try and provide information for routes and also the teams at the marina would also happily advise when you are planning a route. There are staff and volunteers from the Canal and River Trust who work hard to maintain the canals. We hope to see you again soon.

My 2 teenage daughters thought it was the best holiday that they had ever had! We had gorgeous weather, excellent food from the pubs on the canal and no augments! Banning internet usage was the best thing I did. This holiday was all about working, living and being together. Thank you for such a brilliant holiday x

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear you and your family had such a fantastic holiday from Goytre Wharf. It sounds like you enjoyed spending some quality time together and all joined in with the activities associated with a canal boat holiday. Not every holiday needs WiFi to provide you with entertainment! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff - with a smile. The boat was well equipped and very clean. We had a problem with the boat and the engineer came out quickly and rectified the problem. Again with a smile - despite it being the Friday of Bank Holiday! We couldn’t fault ABC boats
