What visitors say

Lee-Ann

The staff are wonderful and friendly and helpful. Only complaint is the signage is too small coming into the marina off the cut. We were given a map to our mooring but the jetty’s weren’t numbered and the boat names were difficult to see. The signage on the road is difficult too and neither maps nor google know where the actual entrance is and take you to the emergency exit. I’ve tried notifying google but I’m not sure how long it takes to review. The services were lovely and the showers and bathrooms were nice and clean and the laundry is great.

Amazing stay! The floating house we stayed in was small but did not feel it. Was warm and cosy with fabulous views. I could bird watch all day! Cafe opposite was lovely and the staff super friendly.

Tattenhal Marina is a great location to either hire a boat or keep one. Modern quality facilities sit alongside a range of services including a quality cafe and more. There's also some floating pods you can rent for the traveller. Recommend a visit.

I’ve been moored at Tattenhall Marina for three years now and couldn't be happier with the experience. The facilities are always well-maintained, but what really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. A huge shout-out to Ollie, the manager—he’s approachable, professional, and always goes the extra mile to ensure the community is looked after. It makes a world of difference knowing the marina is in such capable hands. ​The onsite cafe is also a great perk with a lovely vibe; the only thing that could possibly make it better would be the addition of a full English breakfast to the menu! Highly recommended for any boater.
