You can book multiple or combinations of our facilities, for example 2 day trips on the Shropshire Lady, or the Cottage and Chalets and the Shropshire Lady together. You will need to book them individually ie for 2 day trips you will need to book the Lady for each day required.
The booking system is designed for holidays with overnight stays. When booking the Lady please be aware the system will assume you will stay overnight. This is not the case, the latest time the Lady can be hired to is 5pm. Click and book the day you wish to take a trip. Remember our skippers are all volunteers so please give us as much notice for your day trip as possible. We can not guarantee accepting your booking if less than 7 days notice is given.
Please note the holiday boat standard period of hire is 6 nights. The booking system will say 7 nights, we can not change the system.
Please note as well as booking on line a booking form will need to be completed and deposit payment made (full payment for day trips on the Shropshire Lady) before confirmation of your booking can be issued. Booking forms can be found below the on-line booking chart.
