Really really excellent experience. Very helpful and friendly staff. Not overbearing at all. Let you get on with the day and trust you with their modern boats. My family and I had a blast and would highly recommend anyone whose on the fence to jump in and have a go.

Great place for a walk. Very flat, so good for all ages. Small shop with ice creams, and a cafe too.
