Beautiful scenic, quiet canal holiday on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. Just what we needed. Clean, well equipped boat as usual with ABC boats. Lovely staff at the Goytre marina . Five wonderful majestic locks -a great 9 minute long tunnel, an aqueduct, electric bridge and 25 miles of cruising. Throughly enjoyed it.

Motsvarade förväntningarna. Fungerade bra trotts att vi tvingades byta upphämtningsplats pga avbrottet i LLangollen kanal.

The boat was extremely clean and tidy when we boarded, the bedrooms were all made up as we'd asked, the kitchen well stocked with everything one could possibly need. Instructions, videos etc were all very useful and both hand overs were done really professionally by extremely friendly people. We had a burglary on the boat, but even that was dealt with really well and very professionally. Absolutely nothing to complain about regarding the boat and the company and I would definitely use them again.

We actually were not able to leave from Aldermaston Wharf, because of physical problems on the canal. Our trip left from Alverton Marina.

I find it hard to believe that the sewage tank needed emptying after 8 days when there was only 3 on board on a boat that could take 5

Thank you for your feedback. On our 5 berth Plover class boats, there is just one toilet and one sewage tank, so it is likely that the boat would need pumping out during an 8-day holiday but this all depends on usage and how many times the toilet is flushed. If you decide to have a 6 berth boat this would have two toilets with two tanks onboard. We do apologise if this caused any inconvenience and we hope to welcome you back onboard in the future.

We were welcomed on site and shown around the boat. All the staff were extremely amenable both on arrival and departure. The vessel was lovely and clean.

Our destination of Bristol was unfortunately curtailed due to a broken lock paddle at Bath. We therefore turned around and made a very relaxed trip the other way. We bought a map in the Marina office, but there were no canal guides which we had used before and had been excellent. The maps were rather sparse on information. Apparently the Guides had been unavailable due to printing issues and this was a shame. We had trouble with the temperature controls on the showers on the boat. Both this and the Guides issue we have reported to the Marina and had a kind response from them.
