Your recent holiday on Spirit - Lochan Ora from Falkirk

Instructions given by Alan were thorough and friendly. Boat was spotless and well-equipped. Maps and literature on boat were very handy and complete. Scottish Canals staff were all very kind and helpful. We had a wonderful holiday!

Your recent holiday on Eagle - Lesser Spotted Eagle from Hilperton

Hired 2 boats and both boats were great. The staff at Hilperton Marina were so helpful and couldn't do enough for us. Everything went perfectly. We did more than we expected in the week and really enjoyed the experience of manoeuvering up and down the Caen Hill Flight of locks.

Your recent holiday on Swan - Trumpeter Swan from Aldermaston Wharf

Great experiance and good staff. Only negative was a week later being called up and accused of racing only to the caller realising I was the wrong person as i had it the week before. And also it says 12 berth but realisticly the 4 top bunks are for kids not adults.

Your recent holiday on Finch - Red Tailed Finch from Goytre Wharf

Everything was pretty much as advertised, although we didn't find the engine very quiet.

Your recent holiday on Eagle - Sea Eagle from Hilperton

The boat was a little tired with minor issues. An engine belt would squeal on tick over, door latches didn't work. I paid considerably more this year with the expectation the boat would be that much better than the company we used last year. Unfortunately the boat was of a similar standard. Which was the reason for the three stars. Holiday was great though.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Wood Lark from Rugby Wharf

Had a fabulous week with good weather all week just before the heatwave. Went straight towards Oxford and got to Rousham Park winding hole below Lower Heyford. The Lark boat is wonderful; no problems. Your records will show we have been with you for years since the days of Alvechurch Boat Centre. We just love being on the canals.

Your recent holiday on Bunting - Lapland Bunting from Wrenbury

ABC dotted all the i's and crossed all its T's in planning and executing the trip. The boats were clean and right-provisioned, the personnel were friendly and helpful, and the trip itself was glorious, in just the right low-key ways-- green fields, blue sky, sheep in the meadow, cows in the muddy verges of the creek.

Wow, it sounds as if you had a wonderful time! Thank you for the great feedback.

Your recent holiday on Kestrel - Lesser Kestrel from Gailey Wharf

It’s the second time we have been on a Narrowboat holiday on the UK Canal System. The boat was well equipped and met our needs. We enjoyed the holiday and the freedom to do things at our own pace.

It's certainly the fastest way to slow down! Thank you for the great feedback.

Your recent holiday on Weaver - Mottled Weaver from Hilperton

The route we chose, as seniors, was scenic, historic and most enjoyable. Our boat offered no problems as it was well outfitted with no mechanical issues. The staff in Hilperton were very accommodating, explaining the running of the boat easily enough to understand. The accompanying binder of information was useful.

Carolyn

It's great to hear that you chose the right route for your party and that you all enjoyed yourselves! We hope that you will be back for another holiday with us again soon.

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The boat had everything we needed and was very comfortable and the staff at Blackwater Meadow were at every step both very helpful and wonderfully friendly. Would recommend to all.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Marsh Wren from Hilperton

Friendly staff, comprehensive instructions, clean, well prepared barge, secure parking and well-packaged return of my wife’s ring who hadn’t realised she’d lost/left it on the boat.
