Your recent holiday on Warbler - Barred Warbler from Alvechurch

Very professional and friendly from start to the finish. We thoroughly enjoyed our week from Alvechurch Marina and your staff were fabulous, In particular Cathy, who went out of her way to help us with route planning and navigational plans. A lovely experience and we would be delighted to return and recommend your services to others. Well done to your whole team.

Your recent holiday on Tyne - Sigrid from Worcester

Was insufficient tuition in how to pull away from side etc and made for a difficult start & end to our ‘holiday.’ Didn’t appreciate having to buy maps at inflated price either. Boat was well equipped but the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever had the misfortune to ‘sleep in.’

Thank you for your feedback. It is disappointing to hear that you found the bed on Sigrid uncomfortable and that you felt that certain aspects of your handover were insufficient. The books/maps in our Marina Shops are sold at the RRP on the back of the book as we do encourage all of our customers to purchase one for their holiday. We hope you will be back to see us again in the future.

Your recent holiday on Wye - Baya from Gailey Wharf

Very good boat in terms of layout, storage, and responsive boat to steer etc. Staffs and Worcester a lovely canal. We missed having carpets and the boat seemed quite old and when we arrived the non carpeted floors were still wet from being washed so a bit utilitarian feel initially. We had a great week however and the layout and storage was very good. Heating good. Cooker slow (as all are). We thought the second bench at the table was brilliant in terms of putting up and down ( just needed a back cushion). All in all very very good week. Helped by very good weather!

05 Nov 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback. We are really happy to hear that you enjoyed your holiday on the Staffs & Worcester Canal and that you were lucky enough to have some great weather! Our Viking Fleet boats don't have carpets so if this is something that you would prefer, you may want to opt for an Alvechurch Fleet boat in the future. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
