“Fantastic experience on the unique Wey navigation” After a helpful boat navigation and lock tutorial (we were complete novices!) from Ray and Julie, our crew of two pootled off for our 4 day break to experience the delights of this beautiful stretch of water. After some minor navigating difficulties (a small matter of a grounding!) plus a little more patient telephone coaching from Ray, we became accustomed to the benefits of the very helpful bow thrusters.
The boat itself was spotlessly clean and was beautifully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Who knew you could fit so much in a small space, and certainly more storage than I was expecting. A fascinating, tranquil few days with the ever changing scenery being a feast for the eyes, we have never seen so many dragonflies. During our short break the weather was fantastic (if a little too hot for all that physical lock work!) and we got up to Coxes Lock at Addlestone, then returned and travelled to just north of Godalming before returning Stepping Stones to its home mooring. We particularly enjoyed stopping on Guildford Meadows one evening, walking across the Ferry Bridge and having a yummy pizza at the Ship Inn at St Catherines after working up a major appetite during the day. It's funny how you get a totally different perspective on a town when travelling by water, quite fascinating.
Anyway, it's not very often you finish a holiday with such a sense of exhilaration and achievement, so it will last long in our memories. I would thoroughly recommend Stepping Stones for a really uniqueholiday, and also thank Ray and Julie for sharing their lovely boat with us.
“Absolutely Perfect vacation home” Beaufield Mews is absolutely perfection!!! The property has excellent accommodation and is truly delightful inside with lovely furnishings and equipted with everything you could possibly need from a first class holiday home, not to mention the outside which backs onto a delightful stream, truly magical!!
The owner Carol goes beyond in helping and assisting in making your vacation fabulous and has been such a delight to deal with in regard to booking her lovely holiday home. I look forward to my return next year
“Wonderful, tasteful, spacious, comfortable house!” What a wonderful house! Plenty of space and perfect for a group of friends! We were down in Chobham for a friends engagement party but actually spent more time at the house than the party, as we enjoyed the house so much! Really comfortable, plenty of space, huge kitchen and beds were so comfortable we didn't want to leave! Garden was beautiful and well kept and Caroline was really helpful and a great communicate from beginning to end. Will definitely be coming back! Highly Recommend! A real home from home!
“Home away from Home.” We come over for business to the uk, this is a great flat with all modern appliances and so much better than staying in a hotel.
Great location in quiet street, this was our 2nd time staying in the flat and our next stay is already booked.
“Well appointed, comfortable barn conversion.” We just completed a short stay at The Barn at Hopedene Farm as a stop gap between house moves. We were looking for somewhere quiet in the Surrey Hills to relax after a couple of very busy weeks, and The Barn was exactly what we were looking for. The Barn is just outside the village and surrounded by fields, which usually have a number of polo ponies in them. Comfortable, quality accommodation with a large HD TV and Sky HD as a bonus.
“Fabulous accommodation and fabulous position” We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at 17 Riverside. We loved the view of the Thames - it was very tranquil. The house was light, airy and well equipped.
“Our stay at Little Byre” A well situated base to visit the area. The property is ideal and well equipped and the owner Paul is a very friendly and amenable host. Would certainly consider renting this property again. Thank you
“home from home” We stayed here for nine weeks while building work was being carried out at home. The house was great - very comfortable and well equipped. It was also very convenient being so close to the station and a nice walk into Ewell village where we fed the ducks numerous times. The owner was very helpful and accommodating.
Place was clean/well equipped.But more importantly Paul was welcoming,friendly &
made us feel comfortable. …

Stepping Stones
Thoroughly lovely water bourne weekend
Our first canal boat trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We only had 2 nights but it was enough to get a taster. We headed north from the pick-up point towards London and got as far as Pyrford Lock before returning. It was freezing but the sun and spring trees made up for it and inside the boat was very warm with the heating. The wood burner fire wasn't needed for warmth but we enjoyed it anyway.
We were 2 adults and children aged 15 and 12. We expected them to miss wifi but they threw themselves into managing all the locks and moorings.
There was plenty of room for us all and it was great that all towels and bedding are provided as well as a small welcome hamper. The boat interior is immaculate and there is everything you need.
Julie and Ray gave us a very relaxed intro to handling the boat. It does take some concentration but is do-able if you have the confidence to take it slow and calm. Best of all is the peace and being in nature, once past the A3 vicinity. …

Riverside
Perfect for friends
Amazing location overlooking The Thames. Beautiful house with bifold doors opening onto the garden to the river. Lovely large dining area. Ideal for groups on a girly few days away. So lovely that we spent most of our time relaxing on the decking feeding the swans, ducks and geese who are happily swimming by! Would definitely recommend. We will be back! …

Box of Delights
After numerous other boating holidays an unrivalled experience, the 3 newbies of us are so content, we didn't miss it!
Arriving from the Continent, we enjoyed after all still an unproblematic entrance via LHR, T5, followed by a swift bus and train transfer to the base, where the really warm welcome ended up with the comprehensive, yet also easily understandable tuition and briefing, which eventually led us into the first lock downstream, we coped with in a stress-free way, as advised by Ray in a perfect laid back manner. Thanks!
Later on it was big fun, especially all the unmanned locks of the Wey Navigation. Pressing buttons in the "self service" River Thames' locks was quite different and visiting Windsor is doable, provided you are aware of the "Gift" encircling you. Smiley! …
