Seven of us plus dog spent a few days on the Dartford Warbler for my husband’s 60th birthday.. The boat was very comfortable and well equipped. The staff at Blackwater Meadow marina were super friendly and helpful, talking us through all we needed to know. The canal up to Llangollen includes locks, tunnels, aqueducts and lift bridges, as well as some stunning scenery. A perfect break, thank you.

A great trip. Loads of variety along the way and quiet places to moor up overnight. Llangollen is beautiful.

Our narrow boat vacation was great. The boat was in very good shape and clean and well equipped. The introduction before was excellent!

We couldn't set off on the first day as we were going down the Northampton Arm of the Grand Union and we were told there wasn't enough water in the pounds between the locks to stop overnight. The flight was indeed very short of water when we went down the next day but we got through. We had help from a very obliging CRT member of staff to bring water down for our return trip a week later. The Nene is lovely - remote and abundant wildlife. But it lacks many suitable places to moor for the night. We had to spend 4 nights at different lock landing stages where you aren't supposed to moor. But at least the EA seem to look after the locks reasonably well.

Helpful staff, well equipped boat. Phone calls elicited useful responses when required. Quality equipment on the boat.

Nothing to do with ABC, but holiday marred by excessive live aboard boats permanently moored on 48 hour visitor moorings throughout the journey, thus making access to popular locations extremely difficult. At one point we were sufficiently intimidated to force us to move to a wild mooring one evening.

Easy booking and boat was as described, clean and fully equipped. Good directions provided to get to marina.. Easy parking for loading and off site parking for duration of hire.
