Your recent holiday on Lark - Meadow Lark from Aldermaston Wharf

Great boats and service. We had a wonderful relaxing, yet active holiday.

A boating holiday can certainly be a good work out if you choose an active route with lots of locks and cruising hours! We're glad you found some time to relax too. Looking forward to hopefully seeing you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Bunting - Snow Bunting from Gayton

Great introduction to the boat from Les who alleviated all fears. Had a great time on the boat with some really supportive fellow boaters. The barge was ideal for our party and had no problems at all. Would recommend ABC to all. Building work at the Marina made boarding understandably a little difficult

Your recent holiday on Goose - Red Breasted Goose from Alvechurch

The service and staff at the Marina were excellent and the boat was spotless when we picked it up, not the case when we returned it after a week of rain! The only negative was that when we returned to the Marina we discovered that all the remaining diesel in our car tank had been siphoned off, we managed to get to a service station with our friends to fill it up but it was disappointing to come back to that.

Thank you for taking time to leave us your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you were impressed with your boat and the service you received from the Marina. Alvechurch Marina were completely unaware of the situation with your car and would have been able to help you had you come and told a member of staff. We have not had any reports of this happening to anyone else but thank you for highlighting your experience so that we can be vigilant. We hope to see you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Gull - Laughing Gull from Anderton

Sue, Jackie, Diane and Dan could not have been more helpful or friendly. The boat was apparently left in a right state by the previous customer, it was however immaculate when we boarded. Myself, my wife and in-laws were absolute novices at the narrow boating game, but after the video, some lock instruction and run up and down we felt confident enough to take to the cut. The barge was more spacious and comfortable than we could've thought. We had a fantastic 4 nights on the Cheshire Ring and we'll definitely be back again. Thank you all at Anderton Marina

Your recent holiday on Mist - Scotch Mist from Falkirk

WE had a great time. The boat was clean and ready to use. Introduction was thorough. The only problem was the dirty canal weeds which caused problems. Another boat behind us was supplied with a weed hook which made a tremendous difference with the freezing dirty water. I can,t understand why this is not standard equipment. This item can,t cost much.

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback, your suggestion regarding the weed hook has been sent to Falkirk Marina. We hope to welcome you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Grebe - Little Grebe from Union Wharf

We felt the boat was a little tired. The cooker was old and rather worn, the bottom shelf in the fridge door was missing and therefore it was very difficult to store milk or any tall bottles. There were no complimentary tea and coffee (which we have always had before). There was a large duvet and pillows in the bedroom cupboard which made it difficult to store any clothes or shut the cupboard door. One or the catches on the sliding hatch was sheared off. The heating stopped working on the last night which left us very cold that evening and the next morning especially considering the exceptionally cold weather. When we set off none of the power sockets were working, however my husband managed to rectify this.

Your recent holiday on Thrush - Blue Rock Thrush from Hilperton

Very well organised, extremely friendly and helpful staff and a lovely boat. Our Tesco delivery arrived at the Marina before we did, and ABC staff even loaded it onboard, unpacked it and put things in the fridge as necessary. We could not have asked for a better holiday with them.
