Your recent holiday on Owl - Little Owl from Anderton

This was our 4th canal boat trip..(3rd with ABC). We were on a 3 night break. The boat wasn't the best we've hired. Quite old. We were told not to touch the heating as it might night come back on! The noise kept us awake during the night. Unfortunately we were caught by Storm Hannah and the boat leaked over the bed! (But at least we were warm!!) On the Sunday morning the boat wouldn't start and we had to call the engineer.

Thank you for your feedback. The Marina Manager has confirmed that a member of staff did come out to investigate the issues you were having and found that the engine was being run with the ignition switch off, resulting in the batteries not charging. The Manager thinks that there must have been a misunderstanding about the radiators, it was possible for you to turn the heating on/off but he advised not to adjust them individually. We do hope you will be back for a 4th holiday with us again soon.

Your recent holiday on Duck - Tufted Duck from Reedley Marina

Boat hire was excellent, people very friendly. Unfortunately the route we choose was not the greatest, scenery poor and a total lack of restaurants/pubs on the canal banks - Reedley marina it's self was spot on - possibly should have just stayed there.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Winter Wren from Wrenbury

The holiday was fantastic and the boat was lovely and comfortable. The only bad part was the design of the rear doors which couldn't be closed and latched from the outside whilst the boat was moving. Possibly something similar to a magnetic strip down one side of the door would help.
