Brilliant experience, and incredibly helpful staff. There were problems with low water levels and they were really good at talking us through the options. We had a problem with the hot water pump which they fixed immediately. Lovely people, I would go again tomorrow.

Boat was very modern and versatile. Front desk staff were very happy and served well. Few minor points though: when the Bradford on Avon lock was opened we didn’t get timely notice despite prior comms. Also we were told that toilet tank wouldn’t fill for a 7 nights trip but it was full after four days. Bathrooms and bedrooms need more hooks as well. Everything else is perfect and I highly recommend the company and the trip.

Easy check in, lots of advice and helpful staff. Did what it says on the tin and more. Only bug bear is charging £7.99 for a flimsy paper map...this should be free given the cost of the hire.
