Your recent holiday on Wye - Tyr from Blackwater Meadow Marina

We had a fantastic time and I would recommend both the trip and ABC Boat Hire. We were slightly disappointed with the condition of the boat as the tiller was worn and sloppy, (although at 3 mph that is not a huge problem, just annoying) and the stove needed repair, especially the toaster portion. The burner didn't light in the middle, which of course is where you need it. That said, the trip was great and the people at the Marina were very helpful. The boat was quite clean and at 68 ft long, it handled well. The traffic on the canal was much lighter than we expected, which was great. I had been concerned that we might find long waits at the locks or the tunnels/aqueducts but not so. But then school was still in session. Also, the people you meet on the canal are quite friendly and helpful. I'd give this experience 4 1/2 stars if I knew how.

It is so relaxing and different from any other holiday we have had. The staff at Wrenbury were wonderful and so helpful, a great bunch of people. I would recommend starting your trip from there to anyone. 👍

Your recent holiday on Lark - Dusky Lark from Union Wharf

From arrival to departure we felt that we were treated as the most important customer of the day. All the Staff were Friendly but professional. From a user point of view, I feel it would be helpful if the boats had gauges on consumable tanks ie Diesel, Water & Sewerage

Your recent holiday on Eagle - Spotted Eagle from Union Wharf

Spotted Eagle was perfect for our 4 day cruise. Immaculately clean and prepared and perfectly equipped. ABC staff had her ready for us and everything was spot on plan from the booking process through orientation and return. I would highly recommend ABC for your next canal holiday.

Your recent holiday on Tyne - Grith from Whitchurch Marina

Great experience. Only minor problem was the lack of mooring space when we returned which you can’t do much about!we had to triple-moor Grith & Watermark.

02 Aug 2018

Carolyn

We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your holiday experience! Mooring can be difficult so we generally advise everyone during the handover to moor outside of the marina on their return. We hope you will be back for another adventure with us again soon!
