Pricing & hours
What it costs, and when we're open.
No online prices to check in advance because there's nothing hidden — this is genuinely all of it.
Enough time to find your rhythm, circle the island, and get thoroughly lost in conversation. Plenty for a first go.
Bringing a bigger group — birthdays, work outings, family get-togethers? We can often line up several boats together. Please enquire for details →Phone: opening hours only. Or email jeff@valentinesboats.co.uk any time.
Perfect for the ducks, swans, and the rest of the lake's regulars — grab a bag at the kiosk.
Card and cash both accepted at the boathouse kiosk. Boats seat up to five, so the price is per boat, not per person.
Do I need to book?
No — and we don't have a system for it. Turn up, join the queue, and you'll get the next boat back in.
Can I pay online in advance?
Not currently. Payment is taken in person at the boathouse when you arrive, by card or cash.
What if I've never rowed before?
Most first-timers haven't either. A little know-how helps, but our staff will get you pointed the right way before you set off.
How many people per boat?
Up to five. Buoyancy aids are provided and required for under-16s, non-swimmers, and anyone rowing solo — see our rules & safety page.
