So don't take our word for it, see what over 10,000 of our customers are saying about us!
We had a lovely first canal boat holiday and would definitely do it again. The team at Anderton Marina where so friendly and welcoming. They even remembered our dogs name. Hopefully see you again soon.

The boat was lovely and very well equipped. Nice plush bedding, decent toilet/shower room and the shower itself was far better than i was expecting (we've been in hotels where the showers weren't as good). The only slight niggles were really minor stuff like the water pumps running occasionally during the night but that was easily fixed by turning them off last thing at night and back on again in the morning, and the doors at the front (main bedroom area) being draughty but we fixed that with a well placed towel. To be fair, it's a narrowboat and it's to be expected. We did travel in March as well (there was still snow on the canal banks) so i would expect a bit of fresh air to be quite welcome if travelling in the summer months. Would certainly recommend the Little Grebe with the extra bits and bobs it comes with.

Great fun but the boat's first outing following the winter and the batteries wouldn't hold their charge. This meant the heating would only operate when the engine was running but not enough power to use microwave or toaster. It was chilly.

Thank you for your feedback, your comments about the batteries have been forwarded to Union Wharf to look into. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard!

Constructive observations about a good holiday. Problem with the gas as soon as we set off but the technician came and sorted it out very promptly. Dinette bed uncomfortable and difficult to put together - the components were a bad fit. We got better at it as the week went on but it was still uncomfortable and cold. We could have done with a Winter weight duvet - it's still cold at Easter time! I slept with my clothes on all week ! Oven door glass fell off ( twice ) but we managed without it. Poor quality cutlery. Surely there is no need to save weight on a boat? Toilet tank signalled full on Tues. of a Sat/Sat trip.Either it was not fully empty at the start or the guage was faulty ? However, a full refund was willingly given for the pump-out charge. Television had very poor sound quality. Why don't boats have fuel and water guages like camper vans ? Very nice polite and helpful staff at the Whitchurch Marina (and Chirk where we got our pump-out)..

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback and for sending us the lovely photo's. It is a shame that you has a few issues at the beginning of your holiday but we're pleased that they were resolved quickly. We have forwarded your comments about the television and toilet sensor to the marina so that they can be checked. Although we don't offer winter weight duvets we do have blankets at all of our Marina's. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard soon!

Generally good but some problems with showers and bed awkward to set up at night and return to living accomodation during the day.
31 Mar 2018
Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback. Your comments have been forwarded to the Marina who will look into the issues you had with the showers during your holiday. We do have larger boats to offer if you would prefer not to convert the dinette in future.

My rating is high because the whole experience from talking to the booking team through the the teams at Aldermaston Wharf focused on friendly customer focused support. Every element of the boat was of a high standard it was clean just as set out in the brochure therefore you got what you saw. So ABC do keep focuing on the customer service as it does make us want to comback for a third year.

Our long weekend was great fun, and ABC staff were superb. The boat was well-equipped, and everything functioned perfectly. Our only criticism is that the boat interior looked a bit tired with drab upholstery and faded woodwork. Nevertheless, it was spotlessly clean and, bearing in mind that we had a little dog with us that limited our choice, we appreciate that we would be unable to hire the most luxurious boats.

Thank you for your lovely feedback. The Eagle is one of our older boats, so the decor will be a little dated but we're pleased to hear that she was spotlessly clean as should be expected. We accept pets on all of our boats, so it may just be that the eagle was the only boat that was available when you made the booking. We hope to welcome you aboard again very soon!
