Your recent holiday on Thrush - Veery Thrush from Aldermaston Wharf

Generally good but some problems with showers and bed awkward to set up at night and return to living accomodation during the day.

Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback. Your comments have been forwarded to the Marina who will look into the issues you had with the showers during your holiday. We do have larger boats to offer if you would prefer not to convert the dinette in future.

Your recent holiday on Dove - Turtle Dove from Aldermaston Wharf

My rating is high because the whole experience from talking to the booking team through the the teams at Aldermaston Wharf focused on friendly customer focused support. Every element of the boat was of a high standard it was clean just as set out in the brochure therefore you got what you saw. So ABC do keep focuing on the customer service as it does make us want to comback for a third year.

Your recent holiday on Eagle - Lesser Spotted Eagle from Hilperton

Our long weekend was great fun, and ABC staff were superb. The boat was well-equipped, and everything functioned perfectly. Our only criticism is that the boat interior looked a bit tired with drab upholstery and faded woodwork. Nevertheless, it was spotlessly clean and, bearing in mind that we had a little dog with us that limited our choice, we appreciate that we would be unable to hire the most luxurious boats.

Carolyn

Thank you for your lovely feedback. The Eagle is one of our older boats, so the decor will be a little dated but we're pleased to hear that she was spotlessly clean as should be expected. We accept pets on all of our boats, so it may just be that the eagle was the only boat that was available when you made the booking. We hope to welcome you aboard again very soon!

Your recent holiday on Weaver - Orange Weaver from Falkirk

The reason we have had to mark this down is the fact that Scottish Canals prevented us from doing what we booked to do, by closing the 2 bridges down towards Glasgow, there by limiting where we could go. We were informed about this very late and remain surprised they chose to do this just before the start of the boating season. We rather get the feeling this behaviour by Scottish Canals seems suspicious. We haven't been on Scottish canals before. We were surprised by the shortage of moorings and wonder how this will impact as the season gets going. We didn't like the officious mooring instructions, re times when you could and couldn't moor. Everyone we met on the canal, at the hire centre, on the locks etc, were wonderful. Friendly, helpful and seemed genuinely committed to ensuring we had a good experience

Your recent holiday on Gull - Black Headed Gull from Whitchurch Marina

The boat had issues (1) heater would not run for more than 2/3 hours with out cutting out if engine was not running which made the evenings and nights very cold (2) toilet showed full pumped out then showed full after 1 day. PS having read previous reviews this seems to be an recurring problem with the toilet. But apart from that we had a excellent holiday the staff were all helpful and very friendly and a credit to ABC boat hire. PPS unfortunately it was probably the coldest week of the year

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback, you should have already received a letter form our Customer Service's team. After speaking to the Marina Manager it was confirmed that there was a fault with the toilet sensor, which has now been repaired. The heating system has also been checked and found to be fine. We can only suggest that due to the very cold weather the heating was understandably continuously in use, which would require the engine to be run for longer than normally necessary. We would like to thank you for your lovely comments about our staff at Whitchurch Marina which we have highlighted to the Manager. We very much look forward to welcoming you aboard in the future!
