Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The gentleman who was hosting was polite and well mannered. Was shown through how to use the canoes and helped explain what the difference was between the boats. Great place with great views

We had great fun going up the canal & back - two hours was about right for two energetic teenagers plus their aged parents (including portaging the kayaks round one lock). Just be aware that if you hire the sit-on kayaks you will get soaked from the knees down (paddles drip on you) and need a change of clothes afterwards! (We would have preferred the Canadian canoes, but despite several being pulled up on the bank when we set off, none had been available to book.) Staff were friendly and helpful, the safety briefing was good and clear, and there's a great tearoom to reward yourselves afterwards.

Steve welcomed us with friendly enthusiasm and kitted us up with our 3 seater Canadian Canoe.
The setting is gorgeous, peaceful and pure escapism.
The occasional canal boat meandered by, but the water was wide enough for no dramas.
Perfect foraging of blackberries to be had from the boat too to keep energy levels up.
Four hours of perfect weather, scenery - it was joyous.
Lunch at Annie's Cafe afterwards was also lovely, but that's another review!
There are week day discounts on online bookings, so I recommend that you take advantage before end of season! Great value for money!

A lovely peaceful part of the canal.

This was really easy to book. Ready to park and lovely setting. The staff are relaxed and friendly, giving opportunity to ask questions and for any clarification. We had a fun time in a canoe going down the canal, lots of lovely scenery and not busy (making it easy with kids). We will be coming back.

We took a canoe out as a family with our two children aged 3 and 5. Thoroughly enjoyable. Staff were friendly and informative. Great value for money!

At the age of 64 my husband and I decided to give canoeing a go. We were both nervous, particularly for getting in and out of the canoe, but Steve made us feel confident and helped us and gave us lots of tips for paddling in a straight line!
We had such a good time. The canal was quiet on this particular day which was helpful. Next time the kids go, grandma is no longer going to stay on the bank to look after the bags….we are in the boat!
