We enjoyed the Serenity Sunday trip last weekend.

It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Phil and Jacqui are perfect hosts, the sun shone, the ducks entertained, quite a magical experience.

If you need to unwind, this is the perfect place to do it.

The sun was out, the boat was full, the team worked hard at a horses pace because that’s the only way to go, and everybody was quiet and respectful which made the trip so serene and pleasant. The wildlife was busy enjoying the feed people threw out to them. All in all a very happy 2 1/2 hours spent on a summer Sunday.

Went on the Tranquil Sunday 2h30 Barge trip with my partner and parents, and everyone loved it.

Lovely, quiet and peaceful Barge trip with an excellent bar selection of local drinks and on tap favourites.

By far the best thing were the hosts, they were very knowledgeable, passionate and thoughtful making sure everyone had a fantastic time!

Just had the most amazing afternoon with Phil, Lauren and Brindley. What a wonderful way to get close to nature; this trip exceeded all of our expectations, we were a party of three generations. From that bar on the boat, the duck feeding, the storytelling, to the relaxing and soaking in the tranquility of just being on the water. If you visit Tiverton this is an absolute must do! Thank you again.

Had a fabulous morning canal boat trip here. Phil, our skipper and one of the owners led a wonderful hour and a half trip down the canal and back. His talk at the beginning was funny and informative. Lauren talked us through some history at the halfway point. The rest of the trip was stunning scenery, ducks, swans, the sound of lapping water and the clip clop of Ross the shire horse’s hooves! So relaxing. Great selection at the bar on board (so good to get a cuppa in an actual mug!) Everything very reasonable priced and all the team were friendly and informative. There is a great visitor centre, a play area and a barge cafe so it’s easy to while away a morning here. If we holiday in North Devon again we’ll be back, this time for the longer trip!
