Your recent holiday on Lark - Dusky Lark from Union Wharf

We had a great time which was obviously helped by the splendid weather. There are a few things that could be improved, e.g blackout blinds would have improved our sleeping especially if children had been on the boat; the pull down seat was extremely hard to manoeuvre and not very comfortable; we thought the wider beds seemed a good idea when we were shown them, but it meant almost remaking the beds every night. We were on the boat for 2 weeks and a more comfortable seating area would have been appreciated, all right for a few days but didn't help our backs. We appreciated having sharp knives which are often lacking. Bin bags could have been bigger

Your recent holiday on Grebe - Western Grebe from Wrenbury

De boot was zeer compleet aangekleed en alles wat je nodig had zat erin. Alleen jammer dat de bedden te smal waren om er behoorlijk in te kunnen slapen. Je zou ze eigenlijk met een plank o.i.d. moeten kunnen verbreden

Your recent holiday on Lark - Meadow Lark from Aldermaston Wharf

Good experience. First time on a canal boat and on hindsight could have been given more information on the fuel and water expected duration but overall a pleasant break.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Sun Lark from Hilperton

A few days before the start of our holiday I received a call from the ABC office informing me that the boat I'd hired had had an engine failure and couldn't be fixed in time. A replacement boat was offered but sadly not at Aldermaston, from where we wanted but from Hilperton, further away and not the area of the canal we really wanted to go. I give it 4stars because it was great. The office ladies were most helpful, all the boat yard people were really good and the boat was lovely.

There are rare occasions where we have technical issues with a boat and we need to offer a different start location. We're so pleased that you enjoyed your new route from Hilperton and our lovely Lark Class boat. We hope to see you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Sandpiper - Green Sandpiper from Falkirk

We have been boating for several years and we found this boat a little more cramped than some of the others and we couldn't really work out why - HOWEVER We LOVED having 2 permanent double beds. We LOVED having 2 full sized shower rooms We LOVED having doors that opened at the front We LOVED having WiFi we LOVED having a TV that could pick up stations whereever we were I suppose we are a bit different to some boaters in that we fully self-cater the whole trip, so we did find that storage room was at a premium - but we managed. We were grateful that we had brought our own electrically run coolbox too as the fridge was not large enough for the amount of food the 4 of us had brought!! We had a good holiday - a leisurely drive up to Edinburgh. Stayed in the basin for a few days and drifted gently home. The Scottish Canal staff that we met on our journey could not have been more pleasant or more helpful and we would seriously consider taking an ABC boat out again. Thank You!!

Thank you for such lovely feedback! There is a reason that you found your boat a little smaller than usual, there is a restriction on the Forth & Clyde canal and boats cannot be longer than 63ft. Usually our 4/6 berth boats are 66ft, so this may be what you are used to. It's great to hear that everyone was friendly and that you enjoyed your holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Your recent holiday on Tyne - Gefion from Whitchurch Marina

The boat very clean when we collected it and very comfortable during our 7 day holiday.. The only problems were that the hairdryer could not be used, the electricity kept cutting out and there was no TV reception at all during the 7 days.

Carolyn
