Guide To Lady Lena Boat Cruises

We had the most enjoyable time traveling the canal on ‘Lady Lena’. Helen and Jenks made us very feel very welcome and we loved learning about the history of the canal. The cream tea was delightful. We couldn’t recommend this experience more highly.

WOW. Just WOW!

If you want an amazing, relaxing and enlightening experience, this is it!! Lower your shoulders, let the sun shine and just enjoy a lovely afternoon on the canal while you admire the landscape, the boats and the tranquility, as Lady Lena and her crew takes you along the Avon and Kennet canals.

From the beautiful Lady Lena, quiet and pretty sailing on the canal, to the charming captain Jenks making sure we got safely from start to stop, and lovely Ali, who told us everything about the boat and the canals all while serving us delicious bubbles and cream tea. And of course, Mrs Knills heavenly scones. Never tasted better (and would love the recipe!)

We boarded Lady Lena in Bathampton, where it was easy to park the car, and was met with a warm welcome from Ali and Jenks even if we were a few minutes late. Once we had boarded the boat, we were served Prosecco and Elderflower. Then we could just sit back and enjoy the scenery, the peace and quiet, and the sun. It was really a once in a lifetime- experience!!

Later on we were served delicious cream tea, before we departed in Bath, just a short stroll along the canal to Bath city centre.

Later in the afternoon we took a taxi back to Bathampton (around £10) to go pick up the car.

We spent 2 weeks in England, a family of 4 with kids aged 12 and 16, and we all agreed that the trip with Lady Lena was the absolute highlight of our holiday.

A big thanks to Jenks and Ali for making this such a memorable day for us! And an extra thanks to Mrs Knill, for the best scones ever!

Had a three hour trip, celebrating our golden wedding anniversary.

Lovely experience, so relaxing, Cream tea was excellent.

Thanks Jenks and Helen for a lovely afternoon aboard the Lady Lena.

Booked a cruise for my wife’s 40th and it couldn’t have gone better. Helen and Jenks were fantastic and treated us to champagne and a lovely cream tea lunch. We learnt lots of local history and Helen was the perfect host; especially with our young son. Thanks guys – see you again!

What a wonderful, relaxing experience. Gliding almost silently along the canal enjoying a cream tea and the company of our hosts Helen and Jenks. Worth 6 stars!
