Great trip with little of everything. River trip, locks, country canal, city canal, swing bridges, tunnels, plenty to see and do. Great round trip experience.
Everything from start to finish was handled smoothly and professionally. The boat was well equipped and very comfortable. All of the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend ABC boat hire.
Great boat great weather beautiful scenery
Nice boat, help when we needed some, interesting route, sunshine even.
It was excellent except for one thing: The WiFi was terrible. IMO there's no point advertising free WiFi unless it actually works. I appreciate it's because the signal may be bad in the countryside - but just be honest with customers that free WiFi probably means no WiFi.
Boat was perfect for two people; boat yard staff were very helpful. Also, the volunteers that help the Canal and River Trust were brilliant, especially when you're doing a long flight of locks. Not come across them before.
A very comfortable boat for 6 people although it will take 8 nor enough room
We really enjoyed the boat, but didn’t like the route we took( the original route was changed due to the closure of the canal.) we we asked to deliver the boat to a location. Which we did, however we were charged for additional fuel which I found annoying as we dropped the boat off a day early, so it would have cost us more had we done the route given by the company.
Very nice, clean boat - staff very friendly and helpful - Canal lovely.
First time bargers,absolutely loved it and will be doing it again.
We loved the boat! However, due to delays at handover at the beginning of our week long cruise, we have given a score of 4 out of 5 here.
It was a really fun and relaxing holiday, our 4 children aged 10-18 had fun too.
Boat was beautiful and well kitted out. Member of staff who showed us around boat was very friendly and informative. Mark, the engineer, was a a great help who went that extra mile and helped us turn the boat. Loved the holiday and have rrecommended ABC to our friends.
Such a great experience. Lovely staff a very helpful.
Wonderful break! Helpful staff and really nice well laid out boat.
Fantastic. Very safe for first timers. We had the boat for almost two weeks. Would definately do it again. Boat was clean and available on time.
great holiday, very relaxing, first time for us but good detailed handover even though we were a little late and the staff had to stay over time to complete the handover, it was never rushed and he even came for a 15 min drive up the canal to ensure we knew how to control the boat.
The best part of our trip by far! What a great experience for the family.
The boat was well maintained and everything was clean and in working order. The tuition provided was great and the binder on the boat ensured that if we forgot anything we would be able to figure it out. The phone numbers for assistance were also helpful, although we didn’t need to use them.
Really flexible in changing booking from 7 days to 5 due to closure of Leeds L pool canal. V helpful stay on the day at Anderton Marina - v efficient and friendly
