Booked the boat for the 26th Aug. An excellent service and a lovely and peaceful location. A special thanks to the the staff and Tom was wonderful. I will definitely recommend.
Used the boat to scatter my late mother’s ashes this week (August 2021). It was a beautiful day, the ceremony was conducted in a dignified and peaceful manner fit for a dignified and beautiful lady. Tom ensured that the experience was as described, the whole trip went as smoothly as promised and the site for scattering was lovely.
I’ve recommended this service to other family members and their experience was equally positive.
