Spent a very fun hour rowing on Lake Windermere. Staff very friendly, helpful and accommodating (let my son have a blue life jacket!). Equipment in excellent condition. Was a great way to spend the morning. Sarah M, TripAdvisor.

Easy to book and the Ahmed at Ambleside Pier was such fun and pleasure to assist us. Had 1 hour booked on rowing boat. Boat was very well maintained. Good instructions. Kevin H, TripAdvisor.
