Your recent holiday on Owl - Snowy Owl from Hilperton

Initial handover by young girl very vague. Good handover from the male employee. Some parts of boat very dirty eg blind at window (I cleaned it). Initial response at Reception very frosty but later improved. Dining area on boat very disappointing. Otherwise we had a great holiday. However, have experienced much better with other companies and would probably not return. However, very impressed with phone call after left boat re our lost property!

Your recent holiday on Heron - White Faced Heron from Hilperton

Originally booked our holiday for April but due to heavy rain we were unable to navigate the canal. Staff were excellent in helping us to rearrange our booking for May.

It was a very wet start to the season, thankfully we were able to help all of our customers who were effected to either rearrange their holiday or move to a different Marina. We're really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your holiday. Thank you for your feedback!

Your recent holiday on Gull - Sabines Gull from Hilperton

Friendly efficient service, everyone was very personable and welcoming. boat well equipped, maintained, and very clean as well as having a nice welcoming decor. Good briefing and clear instructions. very pretty scenery. brilliant. I think that my only niggle was that you were unable to brief us on friday evening - most people taking the boat for a weekend (as we were) would like to come directly from work and go off on the boat that eve - being able to have 2 people at the marina by 4pm requires people to take an extra half a day off work. The boat hire (understandably) is very costly and we wanted to make use of every evening. We had the impression you would rather have not rented the boat to us than try and accommodate us (which you finally agreed to by briefing us on the saturday (and allowing us to stay on board in the dock on the friday night... but I felt it took some persuading.) perhaps this is an area you should look at? possibly you are losing business as a consequence?

Thank you for your feedback, it is normal practice by all of our Marina's to carry out the handover on a Saturday morning if the crew are not able to arrive by 4pm on the Friday. The handover procedure can take up to 2 hours for first time boaters and our Marina's close at 5pm. We do find that where possible people will take the afternoon off work so that they can arrive by 2:30pm to make the most of their first evening. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard in the future!

Your recent holiday on Goose - Bean Goose from Wrenbury

The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The boat was clean and ready for us when we arrived. My husband and I and 6 adult kids arrived in 2 cars. I was in the 2nd car arriving late due to traffic and very worried that we were barely arriving by the deadline for leaving that day. However, the staff had allowed my kids in the 1st car who had arrived almost 1 hour earlier to start loading the boat. They were also being given the boat instructions which saved us a lot of time. We had a 70' boat..giving us lots of room for 6 people, but also making it a little more challenging getting around narrow curves. It was our 3rd time on a narrow boat so we had the previous experience. I would recommend a shorter boat for those doing this for the first time.

Your recent holiday on Thrush - Blue Rock Thrush from Hilperton

Despite being 66' long this boat was one of the easiest to handle. It went where I wanted it to go and stopped easily. It also handles well going astern. This was my 12th hire from Abc in 2.1/2 years so they must keep doing things right.

Nice and clean, great training. Never done it before after leaving the training felt confident that we knew what to do.

Your recent holiday on Derwent - Garder from Worcester

All went well, very efficient marina and (admittedly the 5 stars was helped by being lucky with the weather)

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Lucy's Warbler from Whitchurch Marina

We loved the whole 3 days but without an experienced boat man you would have found it very difficult to turn round. One turn point had less than 2 ft over the length of the boat. The other point is no one explained about extending the beds and we didnt find this out until we were leaving. This would of helped sleep better.

19 Jun 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback, your comments have been forwarded to the marina to ensure that the new bed features are explained to customers during their handover. The majority of our customers cruising from Whitchurch will be heading over the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, where they will turn. When advising our customers on cruising routes and turning points their previous experience should always be considered. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard.
