As first timers we didn’t really know what to expect but we had a very relaxing and fun weekend with everyone joining in and taking a turn on the tiller and doing the locks.

It was very relaxing and enjoyed by the whole family.

We had a fantastic time – as a large family party on 2 boats it created a unique opportunity for team building, fun challenges and a back to basics chill out weekend. Nothing else like it – thank you!
F from Bexleyheath

Our whole group had a wonderful time and we can’t wait to go back next time. A great way to spend a weekend!
Mr L from London

We had a fantastic time, quickly mastered the locks and became a very slick all woman operation! We would recomend this experience to anyone!
Miss S from Chatham

Relaxing, it provided time for us as friends to get to know each other better, to experience a sense of peace for a few days, to escape the normal hum drum of our daily lives, to develop new skills – fun!
Mr W from Southampton

No queues at airports – no sitting in traffic jams and most definitely no lost luggage!! We all need this pace of life at least once a year!
Mr H from Chichester

Would recommend this boat, had a great holiday with out three children and the dog. The location was great too.
Mrs L from Longfield

To all friends and family. The boatyard was very friendly and relaxed. They gave a good welcome kit on the boat to aid the husbandry of items. The scenery of the River Wey was fantastic including the wildlife. Green parrots included!! The Thames gave a different approach but very interesting. The lock keepers were friendly and helpful no matter the question fired at them.

What do other people say about Hambledon from Guildford Boat House

Guildford Boatyard is a well run and caring company with well maintained and well equipped boats.
Mr F from Halesowen

Having travelled only 20miles from home to pick up the boat meant we already knew (on land) all the places we would be travelling through. However this gives you a completely different perspective and pace, and shows how much unspoilt wilderness exists so close to our normal urban existence.
Mr E from Rugby

Guildford Boat House gave us a warm welcome and it was lovely to just slow down and potter up and down the Wey, waving and smiling at walkers and other boaters.
Mrs G from St. Ives

A great holiday , especially for dogs – they loved it. Remember to buy lifejackets for them!
Mrs N from Lancing

We were novices but were treated with courtesy, and this was the best start to a thoroughly enjoyable holiday!
Mr D from Lyme Regis

We loved the whole experience, from virgin narrow boaters to now experienced canal boaters. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, from using the locks to advice sharing on pubs, moorings and life!
Mr M from Worthing

Beutiful scenery, slow and relaxing but fun as well – the locks definitely added to the holiday as they made you think – and you felt you had achieved something by getting through them. Sitting by the side of a beautiful river bank by candlelight with a bottle of champagne listening to the birds and feeding the ducks – fab!
