Frensham is a narrowboat available from Guildford Boat House in River Thames And Wey

For over 30 years, the Chase family has been offering a warm welcome and a personal service from their base in the heart of Guildford – convenient for cruising the River Wey, River Thames, Basingstoke Canal and even the Kennet and Avon Canal. Their experience and skill means you can be sure of well equipped and well maintained boats.<br/>If you are a first time cruiser, you might like the idea of cruising on the River Wey. The route from Guildford down to Weybridge has only 10 self operating locks which means by the time you reach the River Thames area you will be feeling more confident in getting through the locks as you continue on your holiday afloat.<br/>If you don't wish to take your car, Guildford Boathouse is located less than a mile from the Railway station, where taxis are readily available.

This narrowboat can sleep up to 10 people.

What do other people say about Frensham from Guildford Boat House

It was our first time this year on a canal boat, I booked it to celebrate my friends 50th. It was excellent fun right from the start, even in the rain. We all said that we will definitely do it again, and our friends that didn’t come now want to join in, as we haven’t stopped talking about it!
Mrs H from Langport

Our family of three generations enjoyed the accommodation, the variety of onboard tasks to share, and the chance to chill out at 4mph and then to go ashore to interesting places and good pubs.

A good family holiday including the dog!

A truly relaxing holiday. Both my husband –amp–amp; I work full time and have two lovely children, it takes me a few days to wind down, but once I had this holiday was incredibly relaxing. I’ve never felt so chilled out after a holiday (big plus was not having to fight through a crowded airport !!!) Can’t recommend a boating holiday on the Norfolk Broads enough.
