Your recent holiday on Warbler - Savi's Warbler from Gailey Wharf

Service and support from the Gailey staff was excellent. Boat was clean and well presented. Briefing was excellent. Only issue was a noisy engine.

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Savi's Warbler from Gailey Wharf

Boat was very good and well presented. Engine noise was not conducive with relaxing cruising. Sound insulation would be a very economic solution.

Your recent holiday on Sandpiper - Wood Sandpiper from Alvechurch

We had an excellent boat with plenty of room for four people. It had all the equipment we would have wanted and was an excellent choice of boat because of the layout with dining area and kitchen at the rear so that we were all close to each other.

Your recent holiday on Thrush - Swainsons Thrush from Hilperton

I loved the experience of being on the canal and living on a boat, it's not for everyone, but I would recommend it. I am seriously considering a life on the canal.

Your recent holiday on Sandpiper - Wood Sandpiper from Alvechurch

We managed to go around the black country ring from Alvechurch, although we needed a long day, the day after we collected the boat, to get through Birmingham and Wolverhampton. After that, it was fairly relaxed and we had a lot of fun.

Your recent holiday on Bunting - Rustic Bunting from Aldermaston Wharf

My daughter and I spent a week on the Rustic Bunting out of Aldermaston Wharf, and it was one of the best vacation experiences I have ever had! From the check out process (Henry was excellent) to the time spent both on and off the water, the vacation was nearly perfect in every way. I am already thinking about the next one!

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Chiffchaff Warbler from Wrenbury

Well presented, modern and comfortable boat with everything you'd need. (Though with limited hot water.) The route from Wrenbury to Llangollen was stunning, but taking a 69' craft beyond Trevor was a challenge. Everything else was perfect.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Happy Wren from Blackwater Meadow Marina

Well kitted out boat, with excellent instruction. Great route with lots of interest; tunnels, locks, acquaducts and a lift bridge but quite manageable. Beautiful countryside and lots of lovely people met along the way.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Happy Wren from Blackwater Meadow Marina

They were ready and waiting for us at Blackwater Meadow Marina. I had called a couple of days before to order a Pearson’s Guide. Everyone was very helpful. Once there we had good instruction on the boat itself, rules of the waterways, how to work locks etc and they answered all our questions fully, plus ensured we knew how to contact them should any problems arise. All the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Impressed with the whole set up and can’t wait to have a canal boat holiday again.
