Your recent holiday on Plover - Grey Plover from Wrenbury
Leisurely cruise down LLangollen to Frankton locks and Montgomery canal.
Unfortunately no pubs open on Mon-Wed down Montgomery, and no shops.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your day out at Kings Meadow was such a positive experience. It’s wonderful to know the boat was clean, well-equipped, and easy to handle — and that Lee’s thorough and reassuring handover helped set the tone for a great trip. We’re especially proud that this experience stood out compared to your previous ones with ABC Boat Hire. We’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to the team, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
The electric boat was great, the best thing being you did not have to bend for the power control, which was a little slow to pick up, you need to anticipate well.
The boat is well sized, very well...
