Great staff, great views. - Friendly family staff helped us out and were great in giving advice and instructions, The Severn is a beautiful river and we managed to get from Upton up to Worcester... read more and back with time to spare. We live local to Upton but try to fit a boat hire in to every year if we can.

We had a fabulous day on the Severn. Tim was friendly and helpful and the boat was immaculate. We hadn't done anything like this before, but it was straightforward to... read more learn. Overall it was a great experience for the whole family (three adults including a Granny, an older teen, a tween and a dog). We were out for 8 hours, took a picnic and stopped in Upton for ice cream at Vienna's. We went as far as the outskirts of Worcester then back to Upton, towards Tewkesbury. We weren't in any hurry and enjoyed the company of a friendly swan who was determined to swim alongside us. Plus spotted lots of wildlife. Fab!
