Your recent holiday on Owl - Little Owl from Anderton

We all had a fabulous time from the youngest - in their 20s - to us oldies in our 70s. All agreed it was a short break we will remember for a very long time.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Flutist Wren from Rugby Wharf

We had a fantastic trip on the boat. It was beautiful throughout and exceeded our expectations. We would particularly like to mention the sales advisor, Carolyn Burton who was absolutely fantastic and could not have been more helpful.

Your recent holiday on Weaver - Brown Weaver from Alvechurch

I had a great time, but my friend & my dog weren’t quite so enamoured.

Carolyn

We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed yourself, perhaps you'll need to find a different crew for your next adventure! Thank you for the feedback.

Your recent holiday on Heron - Humblots Heron from Wrenbury

Overall a well appointed boat. The only issue was the design of the stern, where the arc of the tiller often got in the way of the crew member taking/getting off with the centre rope

Thank you for your feedback, which we will forward to our Boat Building team. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard soon.

Your recent holiday on Weaver - Spectacled Weaver from Anderton

We are very satisfied with abc, but this is an old and very scratched boat. We had the same one in 2015. We are probably just fuzzy because the boat worked well. And we will definitely use the firm again next time.

Carolyn

It's great to hear that you are happy with the service that you receive from ABC and that you will be choosing us again for your next holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard.

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

Very friendly, efficient and helpful staff. Nice clean and comfortable boat easy to handle. Great introduction to narrowboating.

We're really pleased to hear that you had a great time on your first narrowboat holiday cruising the beautiful Mon & Brec Canal. We hope you will be back for more!

Your recent holiday on Goose - Emperor Goose from Alvechurch

Had a wonderful 2 week holiday on the Warwick ring and Stratford Canal. It was nearly disaster however as the boat we had booked had a sewage tank leak which was very obvious during the briefing. We eventually were moved to a different (much bigger) boat and left the yard about 2 hours later than intended. Whilst it was great that the boatyard changed the boat we shouldn't have been in this position as it was our insistence that initiated the change. The Emperor Goose was well used and there were a number of faulty or damaged things on the boat. The battery was very weak and had it not been for a warm June would have caused problems.

Your recent holiday on Derwent - Alfred from Alvechurch

Although the boat was reasonably comfortable, it lacked one or two cooking utensils; a few more cushions wouldn't have come amiss.

17 Jul 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for the amazing photo, you've captured the essence of the canal! Your feedback which has been forwarded to the Marina so they can check the inventory onboard Alfred. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Derwent - Torbern from Whitchurch Marina

No problems except for no tv reception all week, we don't expect too much when on a boat but can usually tune in to some stations.

16 Jul 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. The Llangollen Canal is renowned for its poor TV reception and this is something that we are always working on to improve. We hope you will be back for another holiday with us again soon.
