We had a wonderful couple of hours paddling down the Arun from Pulborough paddles. The hire was so easy, lovely canoe and good safety equipment. It was quiet, beautiful and altogether a lovely afternoon.
Fantastic family run business! Easy to book and helpful with any queries. Route is lovely and easy enough for me to canoe solo with the slight help from my 7 year old son.
Was a great 2 hrs canoeing with kids . Our first time and we didn't capsize . I defo should've brought a hat and sunglasses as not as much shade as I thought. Saw loads of dragonflies and a lone goose. Attempted to get out on the bank further down but the canoe moved too much I didn't want to fall in !. I cant compare it to anywhere else but im sure if you go here you will have a lovely time. Nice pub next door too.
My daughter and I went to Pulborough Paddles to launch our paddble-boards after having a couple of years off and needing to take our time in getting prepared and then on the water. Simon was a brilliant host and was fantastic in making us feel welcome. He gave us friendly and supportive advice when we needed it and let us use his electronic pump to inflate our boards beside the river. The location of and facilities of the Pulborough Paddles site is excellent. It is spacious and allows users to spread out and take their time making sure they're ready to get on the water. Now that we have discovered Pulborough Paddles, we will definitely be regular visitors. Thank you Simon. :-)
Had a super day paddle boarding from Pulborough Paddles and an amazing stay in their beautiful accommodation located just metres from the river. It’s just the perfect set up for a weekend of paddle boarding or kayaking. The accommodation is so comfortable and homely and has everything you need for a self catering stay. There are great pubs within walking distance if you don’t fancy cooking. Zoe and Simon were brilliant hosts, responded to any requests we had ( really helped us out last minute when we needed an extra board) and made us feel right at home. We could have stayed longer and definitely will be back!
