Your recent holiday on Wagtail - Yellow Wagtail from Gayton Marina

Everything about our trip was 5/5. The staff, the boat, the car parking, the cleanliness. It was all brilliant. We have already recommended to family & friends!

Your recent holiday on Wagtail - Yellow Wagtail from Gayton Marina

We booked a last minute mid-week break for our family of 4 from Gayton Marina. The following day we received a friendly call from the marina confirming the booking details and asking about our preferred layout & bedding requirements. Customer service at Gayton Marina was A*. The office/shop staff, the housekeeper and the technicians were all very friendly and very welcoming. What a lovely place! The boat was clean and all fixtures and fittings were in good condition. A very comprehensive folder provides instructions for everything you could think of on board. The handover instructions can contain a lot of information so this is perfect if you haven't much experience and want to refer back to instructions given, or if you need instructions to work an appliance on board. The boat had plenty of items supplied such as tea towels, sponge, dish soap, matches, multiple toilet rolls, hand soaps in bathrooms and shampoo & body wash in the showers. There was also a tea/coffee tray set up for our arrival. We had a brilliant time, we always do! Although we have hired canal boats several times before, this was our first time with ABC and we would certainly book with them again. If you have little or no experience, I would highly recommend booking with ABC from Gayton Marina. They will give you the confidence to enjoy your holiday.
