Your recent holiday on Swan - Whistling Swan from Hilperton

The overall experience was fantastic. There are small areas that could be improved. The canal is very dirty and needs some attention. Alot of dead animals in the water during our stay that were there also on our return journey. A cat,fish and duck. This is an Avon and kennet responsibility! what a pity its not patrolled and cleaned up. the boat was not as clean as we would have expected. very dirty cupboards. our toilet also malfunctioned which meant we had a boat swimming in 2cm of water one evening, lucky for us it was clean water!

Thank you for taking time to leave us your feedback. With all of the wet weather we have had recently the Thames has been in flood, resulting in fast flowing water on the Kennet & Avon, which may be why you will have seen an unusual amount of debris in the Canal. Your comments about your boat have been forwarded to the Marina to ensure that the cupboards have been cleaned thoroughly and that the toilets have been checked for any issues. It's great to hear that you enjoyed your boating adventure and we hope to see you back again soon!

Your recent holiday on Swallow - Red Sea Swallow from Goytre Wharf

Thoroughly enjoyed our break, comfortable clean boat very well equipped. The only comment I would like to make is regarding the time we actually left the Wharf. Boat pick up time states 2.30 we left the Wharf at 4.30, maybe your literature should include this somewhere as this seems to be the norm (Ellesmere last September). I realise the reason for this due to the number of boats being picked up and the instructions etc, but it doesn't bode well with the threat of a surcharge if you are late back to the Wharf.

18 Apr 2018

Carolyn

Thank you for your feedback. It isn't unusual for the boat hand over to take the amount of time stated, especially for first time boaters who need more instruction or on a particularly busy turnaround day. However, I have passed your suggestion on to the Booking Team for these timings to be included in the correspondence we send to customers when they have made their booking. We hope to see you again soon!

Your recent holiday on Eagle - Bonellis Eagle from Gayton

Good holiday despite dreadful weather,hardly the fault of ABC boats! Boat good and well appointed,not all kitchen equipment working well e.g. Grill,toaster,electrical system. Erratic. Three stars because of weather experience
