It was the end of a long day searching for a narrowboat to purchase starting in Reading and heading back towards Bath. The marina looked tidy, the chandlery was well stocked and the staff were polite and friendly. Unfortunately there was nothing that matched our wants to our budget!! We did buy chocolate, which I have to say was overpriced. Apart from that, 👍.

I have enjoyed hiring narrowboats from ABC over many years.
With each year the loyalty discount increases.
Hilperton staff are knowledgeable, polite and keen to see that you have a positive experience.
The marina is ideally located with the beautiful aqueducts of Avoncliffe and Dundas leading to Bath to the West...and the challenge and experience of the Caen Hill lock flight to the East.

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to John and his team at the Marina, they have been considerate and generous with their time.
This was my first narrow boat and updating it, knowing what to do and how to do it was extremely difficult for me as a novice, but the care and support given by John (in particular) and all of his team made the experience enjoyable and rewarding.
In the late summer when my niece and her husband came over from Canada for a holiday they had a few days use of the boat and the helpful guidance given to them by John enabled them to feel confident and enjoy every moment of an experience they have made clear was very special to them.
I cannot praise all at the Marina highly enough and I would ask that you pass that on to them, they are superb.”
