Your recent holiday on Wren - Cactus Wren from Falkirk

We loved our boat, the canals were gorgeous and I guess it helped that everyday was gorgeous weather! Our boat functioned perfectly and all aspects of the Canal process ran very smoothly. the Lock staff were incredibly kind and helpful.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Cactus Wren from Falkirk

Every part of the Falkirk ABC office's interaction with us was wonderful! They were super knowledgeable and very understanding when we had some worries since it was out first time on the canals. They took extra time to educate us and help us get prepared. James helped us get familiar with our boat and gave us invaluable information as to keeping out boat running smoothly.

Your recent holiday on Partridge - Rock Partridge from

We are returning customers benefitting from significant discounts. ABC is a super friendly company with top end boats in many locations. Reservation is easy, the staff without exemption are courteous and helpful. Safety is paramount with a thorough briefing before departure. Wilson at Nantwich marina was excellent, taking us out of the marina, ensuring we were competent. The boat was fitted out perfectly. There were four of us with two double beds en suite and the galley perfectly placed at the stern. We went south to Market Drayton, a superb unspoilt rural idyllic. Audlem well worth visiting. Corkscrew and scissors on board were cheap and didn’t work but this is our only criticism On return Carl was happy for us to return through the marina in reverse to the berth. Great fun

Your recent holiday on Swift - Tree Swift from Whitchurch Marina

A very professional set up. Booking was easy and the App very useful. Reception and particularly handover was first class. The boat was only a year old and in immaculate condition. My only criticism would be that the hose to refill the water had pinholes which soaked crew and passersby alike. ABC really need to find an alternative type which is up to the job. Otherwise perfect!

Your recent holiday on Swift - Tree Swift from Whitchurch Marina

Whitchurch to Llangollen and back in a week brought back very happy memories of a holiday many years ago. The weather certainly helped as it was the an exceptionally dry and warm week at the end of April but the boat was everything we expected and more. Water levels were good and the canal was not too busy. Scenery was everything I remember from before, stunning.
