Was a bit boring
Not much to see apart from Bosworth but we chose not to do locks. In hindsight that was a mistake

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!

Your recent holiday on Partridge - Hill Partridge from Anderton Marina
Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting both the positives and the areas where we can improve. We're really glad to hear that our team resolved the pump issue quickly and efficiently — we always aim to respond promptly to any technical problems.
We're genuinely sorry about the lack of communication regarding the situation at Tilstone Lock, which affected your plans to reach Chester. That’s certainly something we’ll look into to ensure better updates in the future. We also regret the inconvenience with your food delivery — we understand how important those details are to your overall experience.
Your comments are very helpful, and we appreciate you taking the time to share them.
Many thanks from all of us at ABC Boat Hire!

Thank you so much for your continued support and kind words!
It’s always a pleasure to welcome returning guests, and we’re thrilled to hear that your sixth trip with ABC was another excellent experience. We’re glad you found the boat clean and well-equipped, and that our friendly team made everything feel easy and enjoyable.
The Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal is indeed a gem—stunning scenery, peaceful cruising, and just the right number of locks for a relaxing journey. We’re happy to hear the moorings were more accessible this time and that the CRT support was helpful (even if not available every day).
We truly appreciate your loyalty and look forward to welcoming you back for your seventh adventure!
