TSS was wonderful. Amazing the steam engine still works perfectly. Dinner is fantastic with all the seafood you can eat. Farm show is fun, Tim the dog is doing excellent show.

Great trip on the steamboat. Wonderful food and a fantastic exhibition of sheep shearing and bearding with the dogs.

31st Wedding anniversary, my return visit and hubbys first. He appreciated everything I knew he would, the ambience, appetizer drinks on cruise and an exquisite dining meat selection. I was a little disappointed this round as I wasn't able to pace myself through the dining like previous, as stations were cleared too quickly. What I had though (as pictured) was indeed delicious. Entrèè delicious. My main included the various BBQ meat samples as the only station still open. The desserts may not have been their strength however, that assumption comes from leftovers observed not personal samples of the dish. Overall I'd still recommend the experience to anyone. Lovely staff having greeted us on arrival including the chefs.

Beautiful cruise across the lake. The buffet was excellent, especially the selection of local meats. The farm show was also very fun.

The meal was enjoyable and there was no time wasted in serving up, the farm demonstration was also interesting as was being on the paddle steamer, it was a shame that fellow travellers on the steamer didn't respect our desire to listen to the informative talk over the tannoy on the way there
