Your recent holiday on Lark - Sky Lark from Falkirk

Boat was well equipped and the induction very comprehensive. Helped us out when one of our friends cracked her ankle even before we boarded! Staff are great craic and the boat facilities were better than we've had in some hotels! Everyone we met on the Wheel and beyond was friendly and helpful. Reception on arrival was welcoming and informative. Just check the dimensions on some of the "winding" points, especially f you are trying to turn a 60 ft boat around ! We had a great time and would recommend highly

Your recent holiday on Finch - Red Headed Finch from Goytre Wharf

The Mon & Brec is a truly beautiful canal but not relaxing as you are in constant risk of going aground as it is a very shallow canal. The banks are very overgrown as are a lot of the bridges which makes lining up to go through a bit tricky! The ABC staff at Goytre were, without exception really brilliant. Handing back the boat after our holiday left a bit to be desired because the warf was v busy and very little room to manoeuvre. ☺

Could not have been a better experience for this family group who came from the USA to fulfill a life long dream to take a narrowboat trip. ABC met our every need and help with our plans to make a successful family holiday

Your recent holiday on Warbler - River Warbler from Anderton

The marina ran out of guide books despite me querying a week earlier about potential canal closures caused by the weather.

Your recent holiday on Wye - Tyr from Blackwater Meadow Marina

We had a fantastic time and I would recommend both the trip and ABC Boat Hire. We were slightly disappointed with the condition of the boat as the tiller was worn and sloppy, (although at 3 mph that is not a huge problem, just annoying) and the stove needed repair, especially the toaster portion. The burner didn't light in the middle, which of course is where you need it. That said, the trip was great and the people at the Marina were very helpful. The boat was quite clean and at 68 ft long, it handled well. The traffic on the canal was much lighter than we expected, which was great. I had been concerned that we might find long waits at the locks or the tunnels/aqueducts but not so. But then school was still in session. Also, the people you meet on the canal are quite friendly and helpful. I'd give this experience 4 1/2 stars if I knew how.

Your recent holiday on Weaver - Cape Weaver from Wrenbury

It is so relaxing and different from any other holiday we have had. The staff at Wrenbury were wonderful and so helpful, a great bunch of people. I would recommend starting your trip from there to anyone. 👍

Fantastic feedback, we will pass this onto Wrenbury, thank you! Canal cruising is the best way to relax for sure! We hope to see you again soon for another holiday!

Your recent holiday on Lark - Dusky Lark from Union Wharf

From arrival to departure we felt that we were treated as the most important customer of the day. All the Staff were Friendly but professional. From a user point of view, I feel it would be helpful if the boats had gauges on consumable tanks ie Diesel, Water & Sewerage

What wonderful feedback for Union Wharf! You suggestion has been forwarded to our boat building team. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard soon.
