Your recent holiday on Grebe - Hooded Grebe from Rugby Wharf

Staff, as always great. Boat clean and well equipped, though the livery looked a little tired. An analogue radio would be better as digital signal often abysmal. Seating could be more comfortable, too! However, we love ABC boathire and staff and will no doubt be back for another adventure afloat.

Your recent holiday on Owl - Scops Owl from Blackwater Meadow Marina

Overall, very good! But, web site says that there are 'chairs and stools' provided. They were not supplied, and even after asking the staff, none were on board. Pity, because we left our folding chairs at home after reading the web site info!! We hired this exact same boat 4 years ago; since then, it obviously hasn't seen a paintbrush and now really needs a good smarten up and make over. Apart from that , a very enjoyable holiday!

Your recent holiday on Nene - Bragi from Gailey Wharf

The boat was very good. Everything that we needed was there. he only drawback was having to stand up to steer didn't do my legs much good. Could do with a pad on the gas bottle housing to sit on. We were very lucky with the weather which was a great advantage.

Your recent holiday on Heron - White Faced Heron from Hilperton

Firstly we were very lucky weatherwise which meant we were never confined to the boat but that wouldn't have been any problem if we were as it was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The staff at the marina were very helpful and knowledgeable and made us complete novices feel quite confident. Hi At every lock there were friendly people willing to help us although the 4 of us soon went through them as if we had been doing them for years! Also the people walking or cycling along the towpath were so friendly; we felt part of a real community. We would certainly think of making a trip on another canal at some point in the future and area already recommending it to our families and friends.
