Your recent holiday on Lark - Grays Lark from Whitchurch Marina

Lovely boat narrowboat, very clean. One of our toilets had not been empty properly, the smell was horrible, we had to get the toilet emptied ourselves. The boat yard did refund our money for getting the toilet pumped.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Marbled Wren from Anderton

Boat was very clean and everything worked well. The bed was not as advertised it had an extender piece on the bed board but not extender mattress for it. We asked and were told that was the managers policy. It is advertised as a large bed so that needs changing one way or another.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Cobbs Wren from Wrenbury

The boat was ready on time - folks were friendly and informative to get us started - places we visited on the trip were friendly. The boat worked great. This is our second trip with ABC tours. We toured from Wrenbury to Elliesmere which is a beautiful area.

Your recent holiday on Medway - Rodulf from Gailey Wharf

Excellent service and instruction, lovely narrowboat The only down side was how early we had to return the boat on a 3 night trip

31 Oct 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback, we're pleased you had such a good time! The return time of 9am allows our Marina staff to prepare the boat ready for the next crew who will be arriving later that day. We do find that most of our customers who have hired a boat for the weekend prefer to come back to the Marina on Sunday evening, ready to depart the next morning. We hope to see you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Cactus Wren from Falkirk

Myra and the lock staff were very helpful and friendly. However unfortunately I caught cryptosporidium and could only have come from trip. I was very mindful on hygiene whilst aboard.

As well as following strict cleaning procedures, the water tanks are filled up and flushed out between each hire. We are sorry to hear that you have been ill and wish you a speedy recovery.

Your recent holiday on Tyne - Grith from Whitchurch Marina

We'd had the same boat the year before and had listed minor 'gripes' that needed fixing. We're not surprised at the end of a season that things need doing. It was lovely to have the same craft this year and see that they'd solved all the previous problems and fitted a new cooker and worktop which was fantastic. Would happily have the same boat again.

31 Oct 2018

Carolyn

Our customer feedback is really important to us and we will always make improvements when they are required. We're delighted to hear that you you had a great holiday on Grith and that you would be happy to hire the same boat again. We hope to see you again soon!

Your recent holiday on Grebe - Clarks Grebe from Blackwater Meadow Marina

Wery professional. It’s my third trip on a narrowboat. And this is so far the most torough company I have rented from. This concerning safety and information. And the marina in Ellesmere is a great base for several journeys in the future. I’ll be back:-)

Your recent holiday on Goose - White Fronted Goose from Hilperton

We had a lovely time, my husband, myself and my two elderly parents, both of whom have mobility problems. The first morning it was raining, but it stopped by lunchtime and although it wasn’t brilliant blue skies every day, we enjoyed the scenery and helpfulness of people we met. We went from Hilperton to Bath and back and the scenery is stunning. It is a very relaxing holiday.

Carolyn
