Fantastic for Accessibility

I am a wheelchair user and had my birthday party. We did canoeing. It was great fun. They have a kayak with stabilisers which I could use and my friends and family where in other kayaks and canoes. We learnt some basics skills and then when for a river trip. The centre is completely accessible, I could even get upstairs to make myself a cup of tea. Considering it is an old dutch barn they have adapted it really well. I noticed they have an accessible wetroom , toilet and a changing table and hoist. I really loved their attitude, they were very friendly and didn't treat me any differently. They took my lead but supported me getting in and out of the kayak which was really nice. I really recommend this.
