Cotswold Canoe Hire Ltd operates from Lechlade-On-Thames, England and specialises in self-led river hire and short Thames trips. The company offers a fleet of open Canadian canoes, single kayaks, paddleboards, one-hour rowing boats and swan and flamingo pedalos. Hires are available as one-hour sessions, half-day and full-day options, as well as a Summer Evenings Pay & Play session from 6pm to 8pm with discounted rates.
Customers can choose from multiple routes and experiences. The Thames River Trip from Lechlade to Radcot takes three to four hours and finishes at Ye Olde Swan Inn. The Castle Eaton to Lechlade route passes narrow bends and overhanging trees for a more adventurous paddle. Open Canadian Canoe and kayak hires allow paddlers to head upstream, picnic riverside and return aided by the gentle current, often finishing at The Riverside Inn.
The Swan & Flamingo Pedalo option offers family-friendly, self-launch sessions and explicitly allows well‑behaved dogs. The rowing boat hire is commonly booked for one-hour leisure outings suited to couples or families. Trips highlight local wildlife including kingfishers and provide opportunities for relaxed picnics.
