Your recent holiday on Bunting - Rock Bunting from Alvechurch

We had an engine break down just a few days into our trip which perhaps could had been avoided if basic engine checks had been done. ( Broken alternator belt)

Thank you for your feedback. Every boat receives an engine check as part of the turnaround procedure between hires. Unfortunately technical issues do occasionally occur and this why every Marina has an on call 24 hour engineer. We hope you will be back to enjoy another holiday with us again soon.

Your recent holiday on Bunting - Corn Bunting from Hilperton

We had a wonderful holiday on the corn bunting canal boat ,and would love to do it all again next year. The only complaint we had was, that the boat smelt quite badly of a stale doggy smell. We thought that opening all the windows and doors would solve the problem but the first night we could hardly sleep for the bad smell. Next day it was straight to the supermarket for some air fresheners which worked quite well. We did notice that if the boat was closed up for a few hours the smell was still there. I think the carpets and upholstery should be cleaned a little more often. Other than that it was a great experience.

Your recent holiday on Derwent - Niord from Gailey Wharf

Boat, rout, weather were all excellent. A few more directions and recommendation about where to stop and what to see would have helped. Two extra days would have allowed us to visit Shugborough Hall

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Hooded Warbler from Whitchurch Marina

“Life at the speed of a canal”...what a relaxing and unique vacation we had on the Llangollen Canal! From the minute we arrived at Whitchurch Marina we were impressed with the staff, the boat and the accommodations. The Hooded Warbler, just a year old, was shiny and clean and well stocked. Our Captain (Steve) and Chief Engineer (Jason) did an admirable job manning the stern. Miss-Chief (Karen) kept an eye on the map and route, and Lock Labourer (Nancy) and General Dogsbody (Elisabeth) pitched in with ropes, windlasses and water hose, while Galley Slave (Beryl) kept the saloon ship shape! We loved the camaraderie of canal life, the canalside scenery, the cute towns, pubs and shops, the bird calls and sheep chatter, and especially the quiet overnights under shady trees.
