Your recent holiday on Swallow - Red Sea Swallow from Goytre Wharf

Overall we really enjoyed the holiday. Boat was nice to handle, and very reliable. The boat needs seats at the rear, for passengers to also sit. Beds very uncomfortable, they need new mattresses. Table in dinette needs shortening, as we found it difficult accessing the fixed bench seat.

Your recent holiday on Grebe - Little Grebe from Union Wharf

Great holiday, first time canal boat holiday and would definitely do it again. People on the river were so friendly and some lovely scenery and nice pubs. Next time would find a route with a town to go through en route. The boat was a little tired as had obviously been in service for a good number of years. But this didn’t stop our enjoyment. We phoned the engineer twice during office hours re a pump noise which we wanted to have turned off as kept us awake all night (water pump every 3 minutes really loud for those in front cabin). No call back, but we managed to find the switch to turn it off through the night - would have been handy to know that on handover and not very reassuring if we had had a real technical problem. We were 20minutes late returning the boat (which we apologised for) and had an officious/curt greeting from the marina staff, even though I had stripped all the beds and had got the towels together for the cleaners. So saved them at least that amount of time. All in all would certainly recommend this type of holiday. We are family of 4 (children both 11..great age for them to help with the locks and not be too worried about them falling off the boat).

Your recent holiday on Kestrel - American Kestrel from Gailey Wharf

Great team, great boat. Clean, comfortable. Good advice on where to go and how to enjoy the trip. Beauty and history at every turn. Would advise going through Tixall doc quietly, though. Lady of the house like to sleep past 7 AM!

Your recent holiday on Thrush - Rock Thrush from Gayton

The boat handled really well and everything was clean and tidy. However, during a very heavy rainstorm, the back hatch leaked badly, soaking the carpet in the rear cabin and the bags on the floor, plus dripping occurring through the air vents along the roof. This clearly had happened before, as seen by the water staining on the wood edging on the hatchway. Apart from that, it was a great boat and trip, despite not being the one we had originally booked.

Thank you for your feedback, your comments about the back hatch have been forwarded to the Marina so that they can investigate. It's great to know that you had a lovely holiday and enjoyed the new route from Gayton. We hope to see you again soon.
