Staff Team are very helpful, experienced and knowledgeable. Our first time on the Canal and in charge of our own vessel, the staff certainly gave us confidence to set sail.. 😀 Beautiful canal location and the weather was kind yo us. It would have been very lonely for my ol' man at the stunning had the weather taken a turn.. lol The weekend experience had us gripped every minute of each day. Waving to passers by, helping each other on locks, lots of doggo's on route, beautifully cottages and a pub lunch. And slept soooooo peacefully. One of our favourite breaks. Thank you ABC Boat Hire.. definitely worth a go if you're curious..!

I thought it might be a good location for photos but I was soon told photos were forbidden. So I left.
