The layout of the boat was excellent and had much more storage than we have previously experienced. In addition, the bedding seemed to be of a higher spec than other vessels and light years ahead of the awful mattresses we endured last year

The trip overall was good. Some difficulty mooring where we wanted to due to live aboard boats taking up all the good moorings. Stakes were not good enough no loops and very old. Vacuum cleaner was not very good and hose provided on vacuum cleaner did not fit. Housekeeping handover was fine but technical handover lacked information about capacity of tanks and local knowledge of available services on the canal.

The service provided by ABC Boat Hire was outstanding from start to finish. Staff at the marina (Springhaven Wood) were amazing from their warm welcome, to helping in every way to ensure our boat was ready on time, cleaned to the highest standard and making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect holiday.

Flutist Wren sounds like the perfect fit for your journey, and we’re so pleased that it was well-equipped and spotlessly clean. Exploring the Coventry and Oxford canals with beautiful countryside and great places to visit sounds like an amazing adventure! We truly appreciate your kind words and would love to welcome you back for another memorable trip in the future.

It's hard to put into words that fully explain how great this experience was.. The staff at ABC were fantastic - friendly, patient and helpful. The boat was well set up and we thoroughly enjoyed our week long trip to Llangollen. I would recommend this to anyone thinking of undertaking this experience and I wouldn't hesitate recommending ABC to help you achieve it.
