Your recent holiday on Swan - Tundra Swan from Gayton

This was our 5th year from Gayton in a Swan class Barge. !0 adults a bit tight but OK for a long weekend. Showers never ran out off hot water. Barge performed faultlessly which is more than can be said of the crew. Only downside was the top bunks were very narrow more of a shelf . All being well we shall be back again next year.

We would encourage you to visit our website to see what other boats and layouts we provide on our boats. There is also the opportunity to take a virtual tour of each boat so you see what is on board and what the beds are like on board. We look forward to see you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Eagle - Lesser Spotted Eagle from Hilperton

Fantastic boat, different layout to what we have had in the past but the saloon at the rear is really useful for keeping in touch with the helmsman and crew on board. one of the nicest canals we've been on too - no rubbish anywhere - very different from those in the Midlands!

Your recent holiday on Wren - Rock Wren from Whitchurch Marina

This was our second canal trip on a Wren class boat from ABC, having previously hired one from Wrenbury Mill in 2016. The Wrenbury boat was faultless, and while the boat from Whitchurch this time was similar in comfort levels, there were niggling problems which spoilt our enjoyment. The grill kept cutting out (all other burners worked). The recommended fridge setting of 3 caused food to freeze.The fender ropes were in very poor condition. The (poor quality) cafetière broke on first use.

19 Oct 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback, it is disappointing to hear that your second holiday didn't live up to your first. The issues you have mentioned have been forwarded to the Marina so that they can be checked. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Your recent holiday on Medway - Rodulf from Gailey Wharf

We just had a great time It would have been helpful if the fridge had been on and cold before we arrived and filled it up. Some delay on return because they tell everyone to get back for the same deadline causing a queue. We choose this boat with a bed at each end neither of which had to be dismantled daily - great to have two loos even though we were only three of us None of this detracted from a lovely time with our teenage grandson who really took to the driving and loved it

18 Oct 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. As Rodulf was not booked for the mid week break before your hire the fridge was turned off after it's previous booking. Although it had been switched back on again on the morning of your holiday, unfortunately it had not reached temperature by the time you arrived. Customers are all given the same arrival and departure times but it is unusual for everyone to return to the Marina at the same time as many opt to come back to the Marina the night before. It's great to hear that you all enjoyed your holiday and that your grandson really took to being captain! We hope to see you all again soon.
