Your recent holiday on Gull - Laughing Gull from Anderton

Excellent service. Hire base staff could not have been more helpful. Boat very good and well prepared etc. Only criticism is that the single bunks were a little narrower that we have had in some previous hire boats.

Relaxing holiday on the canal. Couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful setting. Rock Bunting was perfect for two of us. Everybody was extremely helpful, and very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful break. We’re already looking to book another break soon!

Your recent holiday on Bunting - Little Bunting from Aldermaston Wharf

Well-run and efficient with all you need for a fun canal holiday. It would have been 5 stars if we'd had a sheet for the dinette bed. Small detail and we improvised.

Carolyn

We're pleased to hear that you had a fun holiday! Sorry to hear that you didn't have a sheet for the dinette, I'm sure Aldermaston would have brought one out to you if they'd known. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Dusky Warbler from Alvechurch

We take a boating holiday once a year. Our first trip was in 2003. From the same base on the Crested Lark. We vary our routes and bases, trying not to repeat previously traveled stretches. This year we were amazed how well the boat had been prepared. As good as many hotels we have stayed in. The new wider single beds are so much more comfortable. All in all the boat has set new standards for us. The trip itself was around the Stourport Ring missing the Wolverhampton bit. Weather was very good, scenery great. A superb mixture of urban and countryside mixed with a big dose of social history. Highly recommended.

Carolyn

What amazing feedback, thank you! We are continually working to improve our boats and it's great to hear that you are impressed with the new added features. The Stourport Ring is always a very popular route and full of variety! We are really looking forward to welcoming you back again soon.
