So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
This was a very nice, quiet and restful week on the canals. We enjoyed exploring the little towns along the way. It was a little disappointing that we could not complete our original itinerary because of unexpected repairs on that route, but the alternate routes had interesting stopovers, not to mention the waterfowl on the canals to watch. The staff at the Gailey Wharf were very helpful, both at the beginning of our trip and especially at the end when they got us checked out first thing so we could make our train connections. I would consider booking another week with ABC and we have talked to friends about our good experience

Great service and friendly helpful staff, very informative handover, help with route planning and lock times. They were also good enough to send us an item from their shop that we forgot to take with us. Many thanks

New boat. The layout was excellent for two couples as the sleeping areas are either end of the boat with bathrooms and communal areas in the middle. Saying that we like reverse layout boats. The problems we had were that the tap water was undrinkable even for cooking. I don’t think the tank had been flushed through properly. We ended up buying water in 5 litre bottles and filling those up when we watered. The other disappointing problem was the design of the pull down seat in the saloon. Very poor design. Yes easy , if heavy, to put down but it was far too low for the table. We had to sit on pillows to make it workable! Also there is absolutely no back support making it uncomfortable to sit on during the evening. Please look into this. We popped into Alvechurch marina and mentioned this. I think they took photos. Otherwise lovely holiday in superb, if somewhat hot, weather

We had an amazing holiday on the canal. Mixture of eating out along the route or self catering in the well equiped galley. Totally relaxing 7 days, yet no time to get bored. We did a trip to the ‘Big Pit’, mountain biking and walking. Guide book purchased in the Marina was an essential and pack sensibly, less is better as minimal storage on board.

That's great advice! It sounds that you managed to have the perfect holiday, being able to relax with plenty to do! We are so pleased you had such a great time.

The boat was very clean and well stocked. Due to traffic we had been late but were still welcomed, shown around boat and just spent first night in yard. The morning information handover was great.
24 Aug 2018
It is a shame you got caught in traffic. However we are glad that our team were able to give you a comprehensive handover the next day.Thank you for your feedback.

We thought the boat was slightly shabby for the money.
23 Aug 2018
It is disappointing to hear that you weren't impressed with your chosen boat. We hope you will book with us again so that we can do better next time.

Great boat well appointed loads of space for four of us, as you would expect as it is a six berth! Shame it kept wanting to turn right, legacy of a bent rudder from a prior encounter, I would imagine. Still, kept you on your toes and gave you a bit of a work out.
22 Aug 2018
Thank you for your feedback, which will be forwarded to the marina so that they can check the rudder. We're pleased you found the Heron comfortable, it actually sleeps 5 as the dinette is a single and not a double. We hope to see you again soon.

Clean boat, enjoyable route of Bath. Nice bedding and comfortable.
22 Aug 2018
We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the popular route to Bath and return from Hilperton with it's great mix of countryside and city. We hope to see you again soon!

As first time boat hirers we were very impressed from the marina to the size and condition of the boat. At the start of our journey we received very efficient and friendly instructions in relation to handling the boat. We had a short weekend on the boat and would definitely consider returning to use the same boat company.
21 Aug 2018
What great feedback, thank you! We're so pleased you enjoyed your first narrow boat experience and we look forward to helping you plan another holiday with ABC.
31 Aug 2018
very smooth handover of boat, good local knowledge. Boat was in good condition and had everything we needed.
21 Aug 2018
Everything was as expected. The boat was ready for collection, which was simple. We received good instruction and tips from the team. Secure parking was available for the car. We departed very soon after we arrived.
21 Aug 2018
Great trip with little of everything. River trip, locks, country canal, city canal, swing bridges, tunnels, plenty to see and do. Great round trip experience.
