Reviews
"Absolutely fabulous way to spend a few hours on the canal. The Barge was really charming and we went through a lock and then back to Kintbury. A lovely way to step back in time...."
"What a wonderful way to spend a few hours relaxing in a beautiful setting. Monty the shire horse was such a good boy! Loved it."
"If you like adrenalin and big buz, this is not for you! But if you'd rather chill for a couple of hours with only the nature's sounds, gently gliding on a river boat pulled by a horse, then you will love Kennet Horse Boat. The people looking after you during the journey are very helpful and approachable. This is the second time I went, and one of the guys remembered me! This mini croisière is a delight for those who like the country side and a peaceful ride."
"A lovely way to spend a lazy afternoon on the river. Really peaceful with no engine as you trundle along the canal, a very different pace of life! The crew are really friendly and you can meet the horse who pulls the canal boat. Space to get out and stretch legs when you turn around and catering on board for a drink and a rest. Worth popping into the Dundas Arms at Kintbury after for a drink and a meal too!"
"Such a great day out !! All 11 of us enjoyed it so much, from the 9 month old to the 85 year old. Beautiful horse, boat and team who made us feel so welcome and relaxed. A really picturesque, tranquil journey along the canal, we really couldn't have wished for anything better. We even had hot drinks and cake along the way. Would highly recommend and can't wait to come back and do it again :)"
