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

Very helpful team at Goytre Wharf. Boat was clean and tidy and ready on time. Whilst the instruction was good, we later later found out that the toilet tank had to be pumped out after 4 days, which was not what we were lead to believe, but meant we had to motor to another boat yard and pay, but was refunded on return. Being World Cup football we had hoped to see it on the boat TV, but could not get it tuned in. The supporting leg mounting socket on the second bed in the main cabin had collapsed, which meant we had to be very careful in it set up. The Brecon and Monmouthshire canal is beautiful and not many locks so motoring is quite relaxed. In all a great relaxed holiday.

Thank you for your feedback, the toilet tank shouldn't have needed to be pumped out after 4 days and the Marina staff will have checked to see if there was a technical issue on your return. We will also check that the problem with the bed has now been resolved. Unfortunately the television signal can be very patchy in certain areas and cannot be guaranteed, we hope you found a pub to watch the football in! It's great to hear that you enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Mon & Brec.

Your recent holiday on Dove - Rock Dove from Worcester

Holiday was excellent and service from staff was totally good and appropriate. Fitting out of boat could have been to a higher spec.

We're pleased to hear that you had an excellent holiday from Worcester Marina, thank you for your feedback!

Your recent holiday on Duck - Black Duck from March Wharf

Good layout, excellent bathrooms, quality fittings, handled well. Do not understand how a company such as yours, which builds for private ownership with every boat having a bow thruster, does not include such boats in its hire fleet.

06 Jul 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback. As many of our hirers have no or very little experience we feel that the addition of a bow thruster would actually cause too many technical issues. It's great to hear that you like the layout and fittings on our new Duck Class boat! We hope to see you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Sky Lark from Falkirk

We always have a great time on the ABC boats. The routes are good. The rooms are clean and the kitchen well fitted out.

It sounds as if you had a perfect holiday! Thank you for the great feedback.

Your recent holiday on Derwent - Garder from Worcester

The only reason why I could not give you 5* rating is the price. We thought it was quite expensive for a 4 night trip. Apart from that it was a wonderful experience and we would like to do it again.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Sedge Wren from Hilperton

Sedge Wren was a lovely comfortable boat. Everything well put together and in good condition.

Your recent holiday on Owl - Short Eared Owl from Union Wharf

We have gone with ABC for a few years now but this year we were disappointed with the boat. It was not cleaned thoroughly before we took it, including broken glass from the hirers the week before. The boat was tired in all respects. The boat bed layout was not not as we had requested which meant we had to rearrange the beds ourselves. Not a good start for a group of ladies aged 59 plus! The area however, was lovely.

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback, which has been forwarded to the Marina so that they can look into the issues that you had. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful canals around Union Wharf and had a lovely holiday. We hope you will be back to see us again soon.

Your recent holiday on Swan - Whistling Swan from Hilperton

This was the most relaxed holiday I have ever had. We were a group of 10 friends away for the weekend - amazing time

Your recent holiday on Wye - Baya from Gailey Wharf

Main concern with this boat was poor design of the stern area. Specifically the controls are too far from the tiller for good control when manoeuvring or taking emergency steps when needed. Also the position of the steps down into the boat make safe alighting between the stern and land and vice versa potentially dangerous. In our experience this problem is avoided by locating the access centrally from the stern and having a step ladder rather than ordinary steps. We had one accident arising from this design and felt the need to repeatedly remind crew to be aware of the fall danger. We found the boat otherwise reliable and easy to manage.

Thank you for your useful feedback, which we will forward to our boat building team. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard in the future!
