harleyj Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 We would like to give a huge wrap for Swanley Bridge Marina. We have used this marina since 2016 for our winter mooring and this year for the whole year as family health issues have precluded us from making our annual sojourn on the cut. From the owners parents, owners ,managers(especially), maintenance contractors, cleaning staff and gardeners the whole team makes us feel incredibly welcome when we arrive. Location wise it is perfect for us as we fly into Manchester airport and it is just a short train ride to Crewe where we hire a car for a couple of days while restocking the boat. Also being so centrally located you can head in so many different directions. The one downside is their wifi is c#@p, such a small thing.

RJ of Oregon Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 harleyj- So you rent a boat from this marina? We are in the early planning stages of our 2020 holiday and looking for a good rental company as well as a good route to do for a week of boating.

Sorry I took so long to answer your query, but no we own our own boat. There is a hire company based at Swanley Bridge called Marine Cruisers. Never had any business with them. We have hired from Napton Narrowboats at Autherley Junction and Venetian Hire at Chlomoldsden. Both excellent companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
