our river your way?

Waterside Inn II

This is the elegant Waterside Inn boat available to any of our guests to take on the river for an aperitif or coffee and suitable for up to 6 passengers. You just need to decide which of your party will be skipper.

Typically our boat is on the water mid-April to mid-September.  We strongly recommend you make your reservation in advance as it is very popular.

Kindly note that, for your comfort and safety, the boat may only be taken out if the weather and river conditions are suitable.  We take our guidance from the government website for river conditions and ask guests to familiarize themselves with our terms and conditions prior to taking the boat on the river.

Charged at £150.00 per half hour.
