Great day out! Never having been on a canal boat before, I was a little apprehensive. But the really friendly man giving the instructions really put me at ease! My children, grandchildren and my husband and myself had a lovely time, with time to stop for a picnic too! Definitely will do this again!

We had been experiencing severe problems with our electric narrow boat and after a phone call to Gayton, we couldn’t be more delighted than with the help that the staff at Gayton were able to give us! Shout out to Paul & Lynn who were exceptionally helpful.

We hired a narrow boat for a week the reception was friendly yet professional, the engineer guided us through the H&S and workings of the boat very efficiently and the household staff had made the interior impeccably clean and tidy. We will definitely be back.

Cold water tap to near the floor, nice long hose for washing toilet cassette , a dog poo bin would be good . A long way to refuse bins and toilets and shower. Thought it a little expensive compared to other sites we have been to.
