    This was a great little find. Lovely cafes and shops. We eat at the cafe barge. Good food. Value for money. Not sure why everything came on a plate wrapped in foil but the experience was good. Entertainment outside - a man playing saxophone collecting money for turkey and Syria earth quake survivors. Would recommend a visit if in the area.

    Lovely place to visit. Loads of free parking. Nice restaurants and canal boats to have lunch on or a trip. And it's very clean.

    Beautiful place with beautiful architecture very nice place to walk around the path is also really good and you can see a lot of animals including frogs and birds. I love that it’s always late at night so if you’re having a late night at work you don’t feel you’re in the middle of nowhere. I recommend going there at least to walk around and see the views

    Very pleasant environment. Great restaurants & bars. The water ways (canals) and barges always help set the scene for a great day out. I fully recommend this place.

    Lovely place to pass a couple of hours. Beautiful views across the marina and nice wildlife walks. Unfortunately the weather let us down and the heavens opened. Some lovely quaint little shops to look around and nice places to grab a refreshing beverage or a bite to eat. Car parking is free which is a real bonus these days, also handy toilets you can use which were very clean. Will definitely return!

    Lovely area to visit. Lots of walks by the canal. Narrow boat trips and shops selling clothes, household gifts, cards, plants, etc and an art gallery together with places to eat and drink.

    What a fantastic Marina! A lovely walk along the boulevard viewing the various moored boats and an amazing collection of boutique, individual but local establishments. This place caters for a lovely leisurely walk, some nice breakfast and wonderful browsing of a lovely art shop, decorative housewares and one of the best jewellers I have ever visited. Parking was a plentiful, even at busy times, there was never an issue with being attended to in any of the shops. Love this place!

    Excellent plants that are looked after and are at a good price. They have some stunning orchids at a very reasonable price. I managed to get a vibrant yellow orchid I have been looking for at least 3 yrs. It looks stunning. I will definitely buy plants from here again.

    Nice location with plenty of free parking in an interesting setting. There are shops & restaurants/cafes, which are a bit on the expensive side, but to be expected for what it is. There seem to be plenty of footpaths, etc, but my one complaint is that the boardwalk around most of the shops, is very uncomfortable to travel in if you use a mobility scooter as I do. Nice to visit & relaxing.

    Nice area, beautiful walk along the canal. Small selection of boutique shops, the bar looked really nice (pricey) and we've heard great things on the curry place. However the highlight is 110% the Tea Room. The breakfast was a winner! Fantastic food.

    Really lovely marina! Had heard lots of people talking about visiting here and how nice it was, so had to pop down and see for ourselves! Lots of beautiful little boutique-style clothing shops, and plenty of cafes to choose from. A little convenience store selling anything you could need, and a couple of restaurants too. Very picturesque, would definitely visit again!

    A lovely place to start a walk from and then return to have a cuppa whilst watching the world go by. There's a canal boat cafe which had been recommended to us but unfortunately was closed when we got there. Lots of lovely shops to browse around. Will be returning
