The Foxy Lark was equipped beyond our expectations. Super clean and tidy and ready to go. The staff could not have been more helpful. We had a wonderful week on board cruising the Ashby and Coventry canals.

The boat was very comfortable and well equipped. It was easy to handle and had everything we needed. We are regular customers and they gauge the handover perfectly according to our experience.

Thank you for your feedback :) The Canal and River Trust do there upmost to maintain the UK Waterways however, the water levels can be out of their control. We do ask that our customers report any issues on the canals and rivers so we can report back to CRT to improve the network.

The canals water level very low so boat continually dragging along the bottom.

The boat was not up to the standard expected. Certain aspects was not clean on handover, the general cleanliness of the boat was not good, in particular dirty and greasy cutlery and baking tins in oven, plus a dirty hob. The 240 volt electrical system did not work, despite a number of calls to the boatyard in an attempt to resolve this, resulting in being unable to use onboard hairdryer, microwave, toaster and mobile phone charging facility. The pillows were lumpy and very uncomfortable to use. The tunnel light was useless by being too weak, making passage of long tunnels very difficult.

We spent two weeks on the Black Duck Leaving from March Marina in Cambridgeshire. Our reason for going to March was to go to Ely and Cambridge. However we found out online about a week before that Salters Lode Lock was closed and had been all year as the silt build up in and around the lock was being cleared. We fully appreciate that these things need to be done but it would have been good to have been informed of this by ABC. We then were informed a couple of days prior to the start of our holday that Salters Lode Lock was now open. However for various reasons we decided to go in the other direction along the river Neen from March towards Whittlesey. Staff at Fox Narrowboats who run March Marina were friendly and helpful prior to our holiday and on arrival. The Black Duck was well presented, clean and tidy, with plentiful electric sockets and a good cooker and fridge. We found the lack of shelving and drawers in the kitchen for storage of everyday items frustrating. After a few days one of our two toilets became very very smelly and then the indicator on the toilet changed to say it needed pumping out. We were suprised at this as we were three people on a boat for 6 people. We were also suprised that there was no gauges for both the fuel tank and the water tank to indicate how much fuel and water we had. Having only one windlass was an inconvenience as previously we have always had two. There is a definate lack of moorings particularly at Whittlesey, on the Neen and beyond which is a shame as this is a lovely area to visit.
