Fantastic shop very well stocked and very helpful and knowledgeable staff

Hadn’t been paddling in years …. Brought my old dry suit to have the gaskets done …. Spoke with Keith and Hugh …. They followed up …., practical and extremely helpful …. Very trustworthy in what they suggested ….. would build a lot of confidence in their leadership in a cynical oul fella like me …

Service is second to none and really great with advice as they paddle themselves ! Love my new blades guys !

It was absolutely 5 stars experience. It was very enjoyable and fun! Carl was professional but also kept the atmostphere fantastic throughout the whole experience! Couldnt be better! Highly recommended!

Went in for a new kayak paddle, Carl was extremely helpful. Excellent service and product knowledge and range.

Completed the introduction course over six weeks and loved every minute of it. Superb setting and instructor. Learned lots and had great fun doing so. Looking forward to continuing the journey and I know the Canoe Centre is the right place to do so.

As a complete beginner and new to water sports, I recently completed a six-week Introduction to Kayaking course at the Canoe Centre, and it was an amazing experience. From the very start, the centre felt welcoming and safe, which helped ease any nerves I had. The instructor, Keith, was knowledgeable, patient and supportive, always explaining and demonstrating techniques clearly and encouraging everyone along the way. The course was both fun and enjoyable, with each kayaking session building on the last, covering a wide range of activities—from basic paddling techniques and boat control to safety skills and how to handle different water conditions. I especially appreciated the chance to learn alongside my peers—watching, participating and paddling with others helped me improve and made the sessions more engaging. The facilities were excellent - clean and well-equipped - which added to the positive experience. Overall, this course was a fantastic introduction to kayaking. I would highly recommend the Canoe Centre to anyone, especially beginners, looking for expert guidance, a friendly, safe place to learn and an enjoyable way to get started with water sports.

Lovely spit sauna river swim and coffee and pizza

Was in store today to get some gear. They have a excellent range to suit everyone. Didn't catch the name of the girl who looked after me but she was fantastic. Really knowledgeable about all the different equipment.
