A great adventure on the river

Published on Sep, 2024

A great adventure on the river even stopped off to enjoy a pub off the river bank, an interesting trip showing some of the history and interesting facts. We went off piste a few time which was great, our host was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was lovely, great scones... highly recommended.

River Cruise

Published on Sep, 2024

Lovely river cruise along the Thames. Paul our skipper was very accommodating and friendly. The picnic lunch was very tasty which included a homemade quiche with potato salad, variety of sandwiches. 2 x scones with clotted cream and jam and a pot of fresh strawberries. Would definitely recommend this pleasure cruise.
