Your recent holiday on Warbler - Yellow Warbler from Hilperton Marina
Only reduced to 4 Star due to the high levels of moored boats on the K & A, lack of mooring points as a result. Boat overall great as usual, but could do with some updating.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you feel your holiday did not meet your expectations and that your experience was such a disappointment.
ABC Boat Hire is unable to guarantee specific cruising routes from any of our marinas. The UK waterway network is subject to factors outside our control, including essential maintenance, unforeseen closures, and operational issues managed by the Canal & River Trust. These measures are necessary to ensure the safety and continued operation of the waterways. For this reason, we advise all customers to check for planned or ongoing stoppages both before and during their holiday via the Canal & River Trust notices page.
With regard to your journey, we understand that while travelling towards Newbury on the Kennet and Avon Canal, a fallen tree obstructed your planned route, which was addressed by the Canal & River Trust at the earliest opportunity. You subsequently chose to travel east, where you also experienced difficulty with a lock. Following your call to the marina advising of your decision to disembark, a member of our team attended to assist with navigating the lock. However, we understand that alternative accommodation had already been arranged at that stage before allowing us the opportunity to fully resolve the matter.
We have been advised by the Marina Manager that support was provided throughout your holiday, including ongoing communication and the offer of alternative accommodation aboard one of our boats at the marina for the remaining nights. We are also pleased that our team was able to assist with transport back to your car.
We do appreciate how frustrating and disruptive these unforeseen events must have been, particularly given your extensive experience boating in both England and Ireland. While many aspects of the waterway network are outside our control, we do take your feedback seriously and will continue to review how we can better support customers when unexpected situations arise.
We regret that this experience has led to such disappointment and appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. We will also provide this feedback to Canal and River Trust.

Thank you so much for your brilliant review and strong recommendation. We’re delighted to hear you had such a fantastic family day out and that the boat was clean, well prepared, and ready and waiting for your arrival. It’s lovely to know the complimentary tea and coffee was a welcome touch too.
