Your recent holiday on Gull - Laughing Gull from Anderton

We were first time canal boaters and although we managed I felt that we had too little training before being released on our own with a 66' boat. As it happened we did well and had no accidents.

Thank you for your feedback. It can be difficult to gauge the right amount of tuition time for first timers and previous guests as every crew is different. There certainly is a sense of achievement after your first holiday and of course if you decide to take another holiday on the canals you will now be experienced boaters!

Your recent holiday on Grebe - Slavonian Grebe from Gayton

Our first time on a canal holiday and we loved it. The boat was just right for two, plenty of room. The staff at the marina were great, with just the right amount of instruction - about half an hour - on the boat.

Your recent holiday on Eagle - Sea Eagle from Hilperton

Overall the experience was really good. It was everything we hoped for. Our only coment would be the beds are on the narrow side if you are a larger person.

Your recent holiday on Owl - Long Eared Owl from Gayton

Staff friendly boat was well kitted out the only downside was the smell from the cupboards perhaps related to the tank. Reported on our return

Your recent holiday on Lark - Archers Lark from Blackwater Meadow Marina

Just beautiful calm experience for the passengers and challenging for the drivers ( kept them in their toes in a good way) anyone can handle the barge with or without experience.

Your recent holiday on Eagle - Short Toed Eagle from Alvechurch

Not the best boat we have hired

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

I was disappointed that the fixed double bed did not have a double mattress, but rather two singles put together. The resultant "split" down the centre of the mattress made sleeping uncomfortable. The week was thus hampered by the lack of a good night's sleep.

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback. Very few of our boats have fixed double beds as we find that our customers like to have the flexibility of different layout options. If you do decide to make another booking then please speak to a member of the booking office team at the time of booking and they can advise you in your choice of boat.
