Your recent holiday on Weaver - Cape Weaver from Wrenbury

Good fun but hard work. The boat smelled a bit of poo. I understand that bed options are difficult in the confined space but there surely has to be a better option that doesn't cause back ache. We're glad we did it and we enjoyed ourselves.

The boat was really well fitted out and comfortable, the staff at the base were great, and the canals we travelled on were beautiful. A relaxing wonderful holiday.

Boat fine, canal completely surrounded by trees masking what could have been superb views of the countryside.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Dusky Lark from Union Wharf

We had a great time which was obviously helped by the splendid weather. There are a few things that could be improved, e.g blackout blinds would have improved our sleeping especially if children had been on the boat; the pull down seat was extremely hard to manoeuvre and not very comfortable; we thought the wider beds seemed a good idea when we were shown them, but it meant almost remaking the beds every night. We were on the boat for 2 weeks and a more comfortable seating area would have been appreciated, all right for a few days but didn't help our backs. We appreciated having sharp knives which are often lacking. Bin bags could have been bigger

Your recent holiday on Grebe - Western Grebe from Wrenbury

De boot was zeer compleet aangekleed en alles wat je nodig had zat erin. Alleen jammer dat de bedden te smal waren om er behoorlijk in te kunnen slapen. Je zou ze eigenlijk met een plank o.i.d. moeten kunnen verbreden

Your recent holiday on Lark - Meadow Lark from Aldermaston Wharf

Good experience. First time on a canal boat and on hindsight could have been given more information on the fuel and water expected duration but overall a pleasant break.

It's great to hear that you enjoyed your your first narrowboat experience and we hope we will be welcoming you back again soon.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Sun Lark from Hilperton

A few days before the start of our holiday I received a call from the ABC office informing me that the boat I'd hired had had an engine failure and couldn't be fixed in time. A replacement boat was offered but sadly not at Aldermaston, from where we wanted but from Hilperton, further away and not the area of the canal we really wanted to go. I give it 4stars because it was great. The office ladies were most helpful, all the boat yard people were really good and the boat was lovely.

There are rare occasions where we have technical issues with a boat and we need to offer a different start location. We're so pleased that you enjoyed your new route from Hilperton and our lovely Lark Class boat. We hope to see you again soon.
