Your recent holiday on Sandpiper - Upland Sandpiper from Hilperton
Though our boat was excellent, the canal and river are overcrowded with moored craft (some in very poor condition) taking almost all the moorings. This is the only negative aspect of our holiday.

Thank you for your detailed and balanced feedback!
We’re so pleased to hear that you found the boat to be in excellent condition and well-equipped, and that the check-in and check-out processes were smooth and efficient. It’s also great to know our team was able to quickly resolve the minor issue with the fridge door — we always aim to provide prompt support when needed.
We do understand your concerns about the availability of moorings and the condition of some moored craft along the canal and river. While this is largely outside of our control, we appreciate you highlighting it, and we’ll continue to share such feedback with the relevant authorities to help improve the overall experience for all boaters.
We’re glad you still had an enjoyable holiday and hope to welcome you back again soon for another adventure on the waterways!

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Arctic Warbler from Aldermaston Wharf
The boats configuration was ideal for us being a family party of just four. We each had a double room with no need to make up the dinette. Plenty of space to relax.
