We arrived early on the day of the booking and everything was ready for our tutorial and for us to set off. We also came back a day before the booking ended and were accommodated at the yard despite them being really busy. We cannot praise the staff highly enough and will book with them again in future. read less

We're continuous cruisers and tend to stick to the Oxford canal. These guys have, on multiple occasions, been life savers! They know boats like the back of their hands and, if you need anything repaired or an engine serviced, we highly recommend them. Plus, at least in our experience, they've got the most reliable and effective pump-out on the Oxford! read less

They are great quality & well maintained boats on this beautiful stretch of water. The team are on hand and helpful from the first contact when booking until drop off at the end of the trip. Thank you for a relaxing time. (the perfect Covoid break, vertically no contact with other humans!) read less

We were first timers, renting the Balliol for a week in August, the boat was immaculately clean and really well equipped. We arrived later than planned but they were all really lovely and accommodating. We were escorted through a lock and full turn thankfully, as we hadn't a clue!
Thank you all for a really memorable holiday! read less

The boat was spotless when we boarded and unlike previous experiences the kitchen was very well equipped. Although the freezer was great the fridge didn't manage so well, so watch the milk! Maybe it was because we turned the electrics off when the engine was not on? Anyway a very minor niggle. A particular great feature of the boat is the front hatch that pulls back far enough to enjoy dinner alfresco! The welcome pack from CC was superb and the detailed maps were a real help. The customer service was second to none and we can't wait to come back. Thank you!! Rob read less
