Thank you for such a fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear your first narrowboating experience was “absolutely spot on”! It’s great that our team helped you feel confident and well-prepared, and we’re so glad the Spotted Eagle was a perfect fit for your group. The Llangollen Canal is a brilliant choice for first-timers—with its gentle lock count and breathtaking views, especially crossing the iconic Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. We’re delighted you enjoyed the journey and all the comforts on board. We hope this is just the beginning of many more canal adventures to come!

We’re thrilled to hear that your four weeks aboard one of our boats from Worcester Marina met your expectations and provided the relaxation you were looking for. Our team at ABC Boat Hire takes great pride in ensuring every journey is smooth and enjoyable, and it’s wonderful to know we delivered that for you. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're really pleased to hear you found our team friendly and professional, and that you enjoyed a relaxing week on board. We're sorry to hear there were a couple of issues with the boat — we always aim to resolve any problems quickly and appreciate your patience. It’s also helpful to know your thoughts on the route. Choosing not to do locks can limit the scenery and variety, and we understand how that might have affected your experience. Hopefully next time you'll get to explore a bit further — there’s so much more to see! Many thanks from all of us at ABC Boat Hire!
