Excellent thanks 😊

My mum and Dad had a few hours out cruising the water for their 60th anniversary. The crew were really friendly and we had a laugh or two with them 😂 some of us steered the boat . Where we went we seen how the other arf live with their expensive homes on the water front . We stopped off at The Waterside Inn, 16 Sileby Road, Loughborough, LE12 7BB, United Kingdom for a pint or two (depending on how quick necking them down 🤣🤣) on our return journey we ate our pick Nick and drank tea … Awesome day out and highly recommend this … THIS IS A CHARITY …..

Had a fab day going up and down on this 4hour trip. Staff helped us on and off. Made us tea and buiscuts given out too.

We took a packed lunch and really enjoyed the magazine and info provided by staff.

They volenteers were so lovely we got there too early but they made us all drinks and feel welcome.

Go join them if not this year next they also need people to help repairs and volenteer on the days out. You can help when your free and if you really love it train to be a skipper.

These are also up for hire approx £1000.00 for a week hold 6 people so a couple of hundred for a weeks boating not bad I thought life jackets and full training given. Enjoy.

Thanks all.

Fabulous day, lovely staff too.

Just spent a wonderful afternoon, celebrating a friend’s 60th.

The afternoon tea was outstanding, all the staff were AMAZING 👏, nothing was too much trouble.

And The boat, The Jubilee was beautiful.

A very calming and gentle afternoon, watching the wildlife.
