Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hire a Kayak / Canoe / Paddleboard?

We aren't able to offer public hire of craft at the moment, in part due to a major failure of our septic system meaning that we don't have any shower facilities for the foreseeable future.

We hope to be able to re-open for this in the future and will definitely be promoting it locally when we do!
