It's £1.50 for a token. I give them 9/10 lovely soft water (a luxury for me living in a very hard water area) There's no hairdryer but a powerful hand drier that the nozzle turns on so dried my hair in seconds. So long as you don't mind the broads look. Ferry Marina have showers in the swimming pool building which you can pay to use £2.00 5/10. I had forgot my flipflops & the water wasn't draining very well in them. No hairdryer either just a hand drier you would have to sit on the floor to get under. We couldn't get any moorings there either but you can moor in LeBoats yard & it's a 5 minute walk. Barnes have showers too also £2.00 you pay & get the key from the office but I didn't discover these until just as we were about to leave so didn't get to try them. I think I read somewhere that the Lion Inn has showers. But as we didn't go there can't confirm. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 we found the ones at Herbert Woods to be very good £1 coing for like 8 to 10 mins of shower time brilliant the showers at the helska centre are really good but i found far to hot you turn them on within five seconds they get very hot & i was out far to hot for me i bet you could make a cuppa with there water lol... the VIP's used Richardsons showers twice £1.50 token collect from office they all liked the showers no bad reviews... they all preferred to use the disabled loo & got very good reviews on that front... we also found showers at Faircraft Loynes but got told they were for private use only even though they were open...

andyg Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 hi lozibear, no what you mean but isnt that a part of being on a boat (damp cloths) the showers at horning, potter (herbert wooods) richos and barnes are fine ive used them all. i really like the ones at ferry their really hot,(sorry johny) but you like what you like. if showering at horning treat it like a spar day and have a swim aswell and one of their nice coffes after!! it makes the cold walk back to the boat more enjoyable,!!! have a good trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
