Great boat, great service, great holiday
We are coming to the end of a 3 week cruise on “Debbie” from Swanley. We cruised on the Llangollen, Montgomery & Shropshire Union canals which gave us mainly rural scenery, peace and quiet. However, we also had the opportunity to moor up in a wide variety of places from the middle of nowhere, to the middle of Chester, to amongst the exhibits at the Inland Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port. Plenty of locks too - narrow, wide, flights & staircases - but not so many as to turn it into a chore as there were only 2 of us on the boat. We wanted to try a style of boat more suited to longer trips than boats we had hired before and “Debbie” did not disappoint. The layout, furniture and equipment were excellent and the easy chairs so comfortable. This trip was booked for last year but we had to cancel for family reasons at the very last minute. Marine Cruises offered to transfer the booking to this year without us even having to ask. The service whilst on holiday has also been great - for example they offered to come out to replace our tv aerial on the day we reported it which we really hadn’t expected. We had not hired from Marine Cruises before but would definitely do so again and would recommend them to others. We won’t want to hand “Debbie” back!
