Hi Elaine & David, - We just got home
today from Norway after a wonderful 2 months of travel
....what wonderful memories and we want to thank you for
making our canal trip such a great experience....your
helpfulness with luggage storage, information, etc. was
very much appreciated and made things go so smoothly. We
have raved on about how nice the boat was, so clean and
just like new -- a super home away from home.
Have a nice summer and Thanks again. Gerry & Tore
Pettersen, Canada |
Hello!
Just a quick email to attach photos and to thank you all
for a wonderful holiday. Your help at the start was very
much appreciated, and the lift at the end was too! Luke
and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and have already
asked about a booking again in 2010!
The Elan Valley was a joy to drive and very clean, warm
and comfortable; the flowers, wine and chocolates were a
lovely touch and I felt special - this is the sort of
welcome that will have me returning for more, and
coupled with the overall fantastic service and the
beauty of the cruise I should imagine that most if not
all of your guests will return again and again!
Please feel free to use any comments on your website or
in any publication - your brilliant holiday service
deserves all the publicity it can get and I will
definitely be recommending you to family to friends.
"Excellence afloat" is, if anything, an understatement!
Quite simply the best holiday I have had in years, if
not decades! Heather |
Wonderful short break

Elaine, David and all
of the team at Excellence Afloat at Valley Cruises, -
Just a quick email to thank you for what was without
doubt the most relaxing and enjoyable short break weekend Heather
and I have had in a very long time. From arriving to
when we left, everyone was so helpful - particularly
David's introduction to Dee Valley and how to steer a
45' canal boat! Both of us were so impressed with Dee
Valley and the attention to detail, the wine and chocs
were really appreciated. Whilst we were chugging up and
down the Ashby canal two different people commented on
how beautifully Dee Valley was presented and said how
the Excellence Afloat at Valley Cruises canal boats were the
best on the canal by far.
All in all a fantastic few days, I just wish we had been
on the canal for longer - no doubt you will be hearing
from us again! Many thanks, Matt Hart |

Dear David and Elaine,
-
We had a fantastic canal boat holiday – our various experiences
that week in April are still discussed fondly 3 months
on!! Obviously we were blessed with the weather
(possibly the best week of the summer so far?) but the
organisation and overall attention to details from you
guys was second to none. Kind regards, Andy Weeks |

Dear David and Elaine, -
We would like you to know that our canal boat holiday last week in
“Weaver Valley” was a resounding success for every
member of our party. Your welcoming gifts of flowers,
wine, chocolates and other items were very much
appreciated. The splendid weather was of course a real
bonus and we were pleased again with the excellent
facilities and handling of the canal boat. For me however, the
outstanding feature of the holiday was your warm
personal welcome and your determination to ensure that
we were totally satisfied with all aspects of your
service. With best wishes, Peter Norman |

Dear Dave and Elaine -
Sorry for the delay in writing but Barrie and I wanted
to say how much we enjoyed our “lazy days” on the Ashby
Canal in “Dove Valley”. It was a superb canal boat with every
comfort taken care of. The welcome treats on the boat
made us feel very special – it’s these things that make
such a difference to a holiday. We wish you both every
success in your venture – taking care of details as you
do should ensure this. Once again our thanks for a great
welcome and holiday. Anne and Barrie Raby |
