Enjoyed watching and learning about the animals and learning of all the training involved for the sheep dog, and the devotion of the trainer. I was also pleased that on the track there was an alternate route that avoided stairs which enabled my mother to complete the walk. High tea had a lot of variety. Place clean & well organised. Ship added a touch of nostalgia to my day. Weather was perfect. All in all, it was a perfect day.

Lovely cruise the views were spectacular and enjoyed the buffet lunch. The farm show was good fun and Kip the dog was the star. There could have been better organisation on both the seating on the cruise as there were reserved tables which was not available at the time of booking. The buffet appeared to be a free for all!

The whole Earnslaw experience was fantastic from start to finish. The boat ride was great, the bbq lunch and views were incredible (the staff even sang happy birthday to my husband) and the farm show was quite good - especially Mia the dog. Would absolutely recommend

I would give this experience 6 stars if I could. The boat, scenery, restaurant, food, service, show were all better than expected. Put it at the top of your todo list.

Such a great experience being able to see the engine room. Plenty of different areas to sit and the cafe/bar served lovely dinks and food.

All fantastic. The smooth spin on the steamboat (from someone who suffers from travel sickness!) BBQ food was delicious and so well organised - no dash for the tables! Sheep shearing demo very informative. Highly recommend the day trip.
