So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
The boat was lovely, biggest boat we have hired. An excellent base to leave from as you have so many routes you could take.

Great team at Gailey Wharf. Very relaxed and friendly lot. Plenty of time to load the boat and listen to the briefing before Dave our engineer showed us around the boat and how things worked. After being shown daily engine checks Dave took us through the first lock and we were on our way.

Online booking was a breeze. The website had a massive amount of information available both before and after booking. Once booked you can download their app which has additional information such as maps of your intended cruise which actually shows you where you are on the canal system. Communication after booking was great. We picked our boat up from Gailey Wharf and the team there were very helpful, everything was at a relaxed pace and the handover was seamless. Everything onboard worked as it should and the boat was spotless. You are given a detailed but simple manual with all the information needed to operate the boat.

Thank you to the team at ABC .We had an absolutely lovely week on the ‘Dartford Warbler’. The boat was very clean and everything was in perfect working order. The location was ideal for exploring the Llangollen canal over a week for our family of 6. It would have been helpful if a shuttle service was available from Ellesmere to the marina as we had travelled by public transport and there is a very limited taxi service.

Nothing wrong either boat but the Llangollen Canal heavily overgrown in places

We have used ABC many, many, times, they are our preferred canal holiday company. However, this was the first time we had used the Whitchurch Base and we were very surprised by how helpful and friendly ALL the staff were. We felt that they all went out of their way to be as friendly and helpful as possible. Whilst on previous occasions staff had been 'friendly and helpful' we felt that they were 'just doing their job', whereas at Whitchurch we felt that the staff really enjoyed their job and took pride in being as friendly and as helpful as possible.

Wonderful canal and good base to start from, made all the more special by the exceptionally helpful staff at the base, who were so helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for us.

We were taken care of at Black Water Marina. David, Sarah, Pauline and Chloe were lovely to us and made our trip smooth for the 2 weeks that we had the American Black Swift. The narrow boat was perfect, and we had everything we needed for the 2 week rental. We had an amazing holiday!
