Your recent holiday on Swift - African Swift from Hilperton
Not ABC's fault that all visitor moorings on River Avon taken up by "permanent boat owners" therefore two previously booked dinners in pubs had to be cancelled.

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the positive aspects of the boat facilities and service. We appreciate your understanding regarding the limited availability of visitor moorings on the River Avon, which is unfortunately beyond our control. Weâre sorry to hear this impacted your plans, including your dinner reservations, and understand how disappointing that must have been.
We always strive to provide the most accurate information possible and will review how we communicate mooring availability to help future customers plan their trips better. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on board again under smoother circumstances.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Navas Wren from Wrenbury
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience aboard one of our boats from Wrenbury Mill Marina.
Regarding your journey, reaching the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is possible on a 4-night break when departing from our Blackwater Meadow Marina. However, to complete the full Llangollen route from Wrenbury Mill, a 7-night hire is typically required.
We always recommend contacting us directly if you have any questions about route planning or journey times â our team is more than happy to assist in making your trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
We hope to welcome you on board again soon.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. Weâre so pleased to hear that your long-awaited trip lived up to expectations â especially after such a long delay due to the pandemic. Itâs wonderful to know that your experience with ABC from booking to boarding was smooth and welcoming, and that our team at Falkirk, including Bill, helped make the start of your journey as easy and informative as possible, despite the weather.
Weâre glad to hear the wide beam boat suited your group well and provided the space and comfort you needed for a relaxing trip along the Union Canal. Itâs completely understandable that handling took a little getting used to, particularly with the challenge of windy conditions, but it sounds like you rose to the occasion and truly embraced the experience.
Thank you for your feedback to help improve our service here at ABC Boat hire.
Thank you again for choosing to travel with ABC. Weâre delighted you had such a memorable time, and we hope to welcome you back on board in the future.
