Fantastic time. Enjoyed the water ways. Definitely be back
We had a lovely couple of hours, paddling in our canoe. Adam was very accommodating, taking our booking even though the venue wasn't technically open. Everything was explained in a friendly and clear manner, and we felt very comfortable and welcome.
Amazingg thanks
