Here you can see our garden wall and beyond the gate is our quay where you can sit right on the waterfront. 

From here you are welcome to fish and secure a small boat (e.g. dinghy, canoe).  We do have a buoy on a pulley system and securing rings in the wall of the quay.

The jetty to the right of the picture is home to The Jahan

river cruiser which rests on the hammerhead at the end of the jetty. From May to October The Jahan cruises the Deben, providing two-hour leisurely trips with commentary.

 

Our own small boats (see pictures above) are often available to guests, subject to Condition 10. of our Booking Conditions.
