Thank you so much Steve, Sue, Jenny & Crew for the most wonderful experience today. Very relaxing drifting along the canal peacefully while enjoying the countryside in this beautiful county. Lovely to meet you all and thank you for making our trip really special with interesting facts and looking after us all, we would definitely recommend this delightful trip to anyone visiting or staying in the area.

We hired the self drive cygnet canal boat for a family day out and 3 May birthdays in our family….let’s say we had a BLAST! Steve was brilliant, helped us understand how to pass through the lock before we set off. Very easy and a peaceful trip along the canal with some great views. Fantastic day, would recommend to anyone wanting to try something new and spend some time outdoors!🌞☘️🥂⚓️

Fabulous experience. Two hours is perfect duration. We had Drummer leading us and what a stunning horse. Fabulous temperament. Genuinely delightful hosts and crew. Thank you.

Great family day out. Nice and relaxed. The horse on the day was called “drummer” and was super friendly. He enjoyed stopping to munch on the fresh leaves along the tow path as he effortlessly pulled us along the canal.
