    This was booked as a surprise birthday present. Plenty of parking, friendly guy teaching us how to use the boat, spotlessly clean with kitchen, kettle, bottled water, easy to use loo, easy to follow map and directions, NO LOCKS!! and off we went for the day. This was great for a nervous beginner like me. I think one of the best things I've done in my life. I preferred having the boat all day during the day rather than during the evening (too short and it's getting dark earlier these days) Highly recommend

    If you’re thinking of hiring a boat on the Kennet & Avon, book with Honeystreet. You won’t regret it. Fantastic, friendly staff. Great communication. Lovely boats.

    Superb handover from Liam. Great cruise to Pewsey. Well equipped. I found our 5 hours a little on the long side with young ones on a hot day but they coped well. Will take another trip I'm sure. I fancy the evening cruise for sunset snaps later in the season. Peas for the ducks not bread but they weren't interested!

    I rented their narrowboat for 1 day for 3 of us plus a dog. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The boat and facilities were exactly as described and we had good instructions on how to handle / maneuver this narrowboat. We loved that day so much that me and my partner will book a longer stay on 1 of their bigger boat very soon All in all, highly recommended.

    Wonderful evening spent on the Honey Days. Thanks to Lynn, John and the team for looking after us. Couldn't recommend more! The boat had all the facilities you could want for the 2 hours. The only panic was finding a turning point to get back in time! Would totally recommend to anyone thinking about it.

    Cannot fault the customer service. John was so friendly. We had the Honey Belle for a long weekend and the boat was more than adequate. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and very welcoming after a long day going through the locks to Bruce Tunnel. Would definitely recommend Honeystreet Boats 5*
