Your recent holiday on Thrush - Hermit Thrush from Wrenbury

Det var en härlig semestertripp. 2 par i en båt för 6 personer innebar gott om utrymme, 2 sovrum med var sin toa och en sittgrupp/kök som alltid var ledigt. En bra utrustad båt, allt fanns på plats! Vi gick hela sträckan Wrenbury-Llangollen tur-och-retur, kanske lite långt med tanke på uppresan som tog 1/3 så lång tid som beräknat pga motström och löv i propellern. Turen i sig var avkopplande, lugnt och behagligt, härliga vyer. När regnet kom fanns regnkläder o paraply ombord och med värmen ombord var det inga problem med fukt och kyla trots att det var mitten av oktober.

Thank you for your feedback and the great pictures. It sounds like you had a great holiday on board Hermit Thrush and the boat was well equipped, spacious and provided you with everything you needed for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. We are glad to hear that you found the experience so calm and relaxing and you were able to see many great sights on the Llangollen canal. Though you suffered some rain, we are happy that you were able to use the waterproofs and umbrellas provided, but it looks like you had mostly good weather! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Bunting - Lapland Bunting from Wrenbury

The guide book timing for the trip was over optimistic as to how long it would take to go up the canal, turned out to be harder work than expected. I enjoyed the trip but Sofia found it too much.

21 Oct 2018

Keri McLaren

Thank you for your feedback. It is unfortunate to hear that a member of crew found it too much and that you found the timings to be over optimistic. We do advise customers when booking to research the the route they are planning to take, whether this be by speaking to our team at the marina. Or reading our blogs on our website to get an understanding of what can be expected on certain routes. We are glad you were still able to enjoy the holiday and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Wide Beam - Sanderling from Falkirk

Det var vad jag hade förväntat mig. Dock saknade information om att båten (widebeam) gick sakta och förbrukar mycket diesel

21 Oct 2018

Keri McLaren

Thank you for your feedback. The maximum speed allowed on the canals is 4 miles per hour, so that is the maximum speed our boats go. It does also state in our brochure that the fuel consumption on this boat will be more than the suggested fuel deposits due to its size. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Thrush - Siberian Thrush from Whitchurch Marina

Normally we would have given you 5 stars but we had a few problems this time which took the edge off the holiday. However, the base at Whitchurch did try to resolve the problems as best they could. The weather was pretty good for October too. In all, a reasonable holiday

Your recent holiday on Weaver - Streaked Weaver from Blackwater Meadow Marina

Our first ever barge holiday. The boat was very well equipped with kitchen appliances, crockery, utensils etc. Although compact there was enough room for the 2 of us. Bedding was clean and cosy. The boat company explained and showed us "the ropes" and accompanied us for a while till we were proficient to be left to it. Would certainly recommend.
