Very helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. Took time out of their day to help us straight away with a mechanical problem. Really impressive service, can’t recommend highly enough.

We hired a canal day boat from the activity centre. It was such a great day, we travelled from Dukinfield to Marple and back going over the Aquaduct. It was a wonderful journey and made special sharing time with friends. We hadn’t done this before, but after the briefing, we managed very well travelling the 13+ miles in the day. There is a little galley with a two ring hob. Nov was a beautiful time to go with beautiful colours in the trees.
