We’re glad to hear you found our service efficient and appreciate your understanding regarding the busyness of BOA. While it’s outside of our control, we hope it didn’t take away too much from your overall experience. We’d love to welcome you back for another trip soon—perhaps somewhere a little quieter next time!

Your recent holiday on Wren - Marsh Wren from Hilperton
We had a great holiday. The boat performed really well and the route was fantastic. Condition of the boat interior let it down a bit though - not "5 star" as advertised.

Thank you for your lovely feedback!
We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your boating experience and that the boat was clean and well-equipped for your trip. It’s completely normal to feel a bit unsure at first—boating is a learning curve, and it sounds like you picked it up brilliantly (even helping others by day two—impressive! 😄).
We appreciate your note about route planning for shorter trips and will look at how we can make that guidance even clearer for future guests. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

Thank you for your fantastic feedback!
We’re so pleased to hear you had such a lovely day out and that everything—from booking to returning the boat—was smooth and well organised. It’s great to know the safety briefing and support from our team helped you feel confident, especially as first-time day boaters.
We love that you made the most of the changing scenery and sunshine, and that you enjoyed a canalside lunch at the Hopwood Inn—sounds like the perfect day! We’d be delighted to welcome you and your friends back later in the year for another relaxing cruise.
