Lovely experience, going on a river cruise. Pleasure to view all the attractions with information provided to listen to and read. The boat was very nicely kept and the staff were great to. Cost £11 per adult for half an hour cruise.

Lovely boathouse. We booked in advance but there was no queue on the day we went. They have row boats, punts and motor boats. Good value for money, all under 16's have to wear a life jacket. Staff are great and clear instructions given on the direction you need to go under the bridges etc. We opted to try a punt - i was as surprised at the staff were we came back dry! It was challenging but well worth it.

Only came here to pay for the boat trip. When paying there was a young lad, very chatty and good interactions with guests. When boarding , there was a young man very helpful in directing us in a shaded areas because of our son. Never driven a boat but felt like a captain for less than an hour. Highly recommend these guys and when getting your deposit, back the young lady also still had good interactions with
