Easy to rent a canoe for a few hours. John was very efficient and helpful when we planned a 2 hour self hire a few weeks before. He also helped us by holding onto our bags. Great service.

Amazing centre, with such lovely staff. So accommodating, and brilliant with kids. Keep telling my daughter how lucky we are to have facilities like this on our doorstep! My daughter had her birthday party on the canal and had such a lovely time. The coach, David, was brilliant with a bunch of excited 11 year olds. Thoroughly recommend it to adults and kids alike.

Staff are amazing and friendly. Kids had a great time on a school trip. Really well organised and safety was paramount.
