Guide To Farncombe Boat House

Such a great day out if you’re local or visiting the area! The staff were friendly and so helpful during the 45-60min tutorial before allowing you off down the river.

The boat came with fresh water, a gas hob, kettle and toilet

Absolutely awesome experience hiring the Sycamore long boat for the weekend!! It entertained and immersed the whole family with steering and navigating locks. The scenery and wildlife we saw was stunning. The boat was perfectly equipped and had everything you need and the staff at the boat yard were friendly and brilliant. Thank you so much!!! We will be back again for sure 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Had a great day out on the river, so relaxing, a lovely slow pace of life

We had a great weekend on the 70ft boat we rented. We where given a good demonstration of how to get through the locks and how to turn the boat ect. This made the whole thing really easy. The boat itself was clean and dry and very well maintained, everything worked throughout the trip and we had no issues. Great company and definitely will be renting from these guys again.

If you want to give a narrow boat holiday a try, then I can’t recommend this company enough. As complete newbies we got a thorough explanation of the boat and a manual. We were given maps and route suggestions. There was even a point where we got ourselves stuck but we rang the emergency mobile number we were given and within 40mins, we had help to get us going again. They have free parking, the only downside is that it is a car ride/taxi away. For a couple of days, the walkable public car park is about the same or slightly dearer than a taxi. If the office is open, they can give you a lift.

The Wey itself is very pleasant to cruise along, with plenty of pubs to stop at but also quite a few locks to deal with. We stopped at the New Inn, which is the Saturday night stop for a short weekend trip. The menu choice and food was fantastic and the pub is right next to the canal moorings.
