IMPORTANT NOTES:
All items must be stored on the boat and not the surrounding land areas.
Mooring rings are shared with neighbouring boats to best manage the water space.
There is a slipway in the basin managed by a third party.
This is a leisure site and is determined by us to be a mooring site for the storage of boats between leisure use, customers may well spend weekends on this site, and occasionally longer periods, but it is not sold as, or intended to be suitable for long term residential use. This site does not have local authority planning consent for residential use, neither does it have the level of facilities and service expected of such a mooring. As such the offer that we have is only intended to meet the needs of a leisure boater.
