Boat hire firm offers idyllic trips

The firm operates from Buscot Lock near Lechlade - SN7 8DA - and its fleet is predominantly powered by modern electric engines, providing a quiet and environmentally friendly way to explore the River Thames.
A spokesperson said: "Just a short drive from Swindon, Cotswold Boat Hire is a hidden gem located at Buscot Lock. 
"With convenient parking and a wide range of boats available, visitors can enjoy anything from a leisurely one-hour cruise to a multi-day adventure on the water. 
"No previous boating experience is required, and both children and dogs are welcome aboard."
One customer wrote in a review: "The operation is exceptionally well run by a friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient team who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. 
"We enjoyed learning about the history of the business, the work that takes place throughout the year, and the dedication of the staff who keep everything running smoothly.
"Before setting off, we were given clear operating instructions, a comprehensive safety briefing, and some helpful recommendations on where to explore. 
"We then headed up the Thames in one of their cruisers towards Lechlade, where you can moor up and enjoy a drink or meal at a local pub.
"Within minutes, we felt completely relaxed, gently cruising through the beautiful countryside and taking in the tranquil surroundings. 
"Along the way, we spotted fish darting beneath the water and dragonflies skimming across the river, adding to the charm of the experience.
"A fabulous day out and a memorable experience that is well worth enjoying with family and friends."
