Great experienced
Well run from start to finish. It was great to be able to see the workings of TSS Earnslaw. The farm tour was informative and delivered in a friendly manner, the afternoon tea was lovely - something for everyone.
Fabulous experience - from boarding to disembarking, wonderful service and incredible scenes both on and off the ship. Walter Peak farm was incredible.
TSS Earnslaw Cruise & Walter Peak Farm Tour was a wonderful experience for our 20-month-old son. The crew on the ship were very professional and helpful and it was amazing to see how a steamship operated. The lunch provided on the farm was delicious and plentiful and the sheep-sharing show was unexpected! The farm tour was very informative and everything was so clean and well looked after. We had an amazing day!

Perfect day out for Toddler and Mum
My little boy and I had a wonderful time on this tour. From the Babychino and coffee when we boarded, the cruise itself, exploring the boat, arriving to friendly waves of the Walter Peak team then exploring the farm, meeting and feeding lots of animals. The scones at morning tea were delicious! If you have young kids, highly recommend the 9am departure. The boat was much busier with the lunch arrivals. It’ll be a day spent with my child I’ll never forget. Highly reccomend.
