Our week on Snow Partridge was both relaxing and challenging with locks being closed for lack of water!

Needless to say the experienced and friendly staff at Alvechurch Marina supported us all both with the initial training and each day contacting us with the latest updates.

Handing back our beautiful boat was easy and we will certainly recommend them to all who want the best quality service and provision.

The staff at Alvechurch Marina are the loviest people to deal with, they are so jovial, helpful and accommodating. Simon was our instructor on operating the boat and he was great. He achieved the kangaroo award (hat pin). So thank you staff our 7 days with my family and young Grand Children was a memory to cherish.

Kind regards

Partner and I hire a boat for the day and had a great time without issue. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only way today could have improved is if we hired a boat for a few days instead.

Online marina with limited facilities. We were passing and needed coal and gas. The coal was overpriced and they wouldn’t sell us a bottle of gas because they had low stock and were prioritising the hire fleet. We’ll not bother them with our custom in the future.
