Houseboats in England

"Loved our stay on this barge. Thomas was a great host. I’m not very techno minded, it would have been helpful if there was a copy of all instructions on the boat. Other than that perfect. We even had a tour on the canal to Camden, perfection in its self. X"

"If your like me and love classic older timber boats with character and history this could be your thing. Great location, absolute waterfront of course, comfortable and cosy. Mark was a great, friendly host full of great info and history about ‘Seacrest’"

"This boat was amazing, a home from home. It was hard to believe at times you are actually on a boat. Location was great only 5 minutes walk from Limehouse station. Loved that we were met on our arrival and shown around the boat and to know if we had any problems we had someone to contact. Facilities were great, everything supplied. Can’t wait to visit again."

"This amazing canal boat was the highlight of our trip to England! We were amazed at how nice and clean it was. Dinner at the pub nearby was excellent and morning coffee on the deck was a truly wonderful experience. Enjoying canal life for a day was a pleasure, we will definitely stay again on our next trip."

"The lady Florence is in such an amazing tranquil location with very beautiful design as well well equipped. We had a wonderful time and not to mention the lovely host who was very helpful. Thank you so much!"

"Very nice all in all, easy to park, right outside, quiet and secluded area yet 5 mins walk into Sheffield. Enjoyed our stay. Just need to modernize the TVs, new mattresses and have onboard internet and it would be perfect."

"Had a wonderful stay on this beautiful boat, extremely clean and tidy with all the amenities you could hope for. Excellent location and lovely marina to enjoy with great facilities. Will definitely be returning again very soon. Very highly recommended."

"We had the best time onboard, we are a family of 5 staying 4 nights, there was plenty of room and the cleanliness and facilities were outstanding, glen and Emma are so lovely and brought fresh bottles of water, milk, bread. The kids loved the cereal selection and I adored the nespresso every morning on the quiet deck. The weather wasn't great but that didn't matter, it was a short walk to catch the ferry to the Barbican and from there we visited mount edgecombe and went on boat tours. The bridge...

"We had an amazing few days in lovely Kingston on the cute and cozy house boat, 'Arnold'. The weather was far better than expected, which made for a more than fantastic stay. Returned home relaxed and rested. Would recommend!"

"I stayed with my wife and two children (9 and 12) and we had a great time. Thomas, the host, was super responsive the first day when we had a question, and showed up in a few hours to show us how things worked by himself. Thank you! The boat is pretty much exactly as shown on the pictures - in good repair and very comfortable given the space. My wife and kids thought it was a great adventure to find the boat and figure out how it all worked. We didn't try to cook on board but there were many...

"What a great place to spend an evening! The Boathouse was a little gem that made our last night in London extra fun. The property worked well for 4 people including 2 teens. Everything was so well done and the check-in process was very easy. We had a lovely stay at the Boathouse and will definitely return!"

"Great place to stay, space is so well thought out and the handover is so informative. Local knowledge of area also advised which is really helpful. Would definitely stay again"

"The property was fun to stay in. However, it needed a good clean. The floors were very dirty, you would walk about and have black feet after. Crumbs and bits of food around the kitchen floor. Cupboards were sticky. From when the last person stopped (check out 11 am) and we weren’t allowed to check in till 16:00. I cannot see what was done to the property in this time. There was old happy birthday confetti on the floor. Also, there was washing left in the washing machine. The oven smelled of gas...

"Very easy to speak with the owners of the boats and boat was spotless with a lovely welcome basket. The wash facilities in the marina were 5* and the views on the boat take any stress away. We were a party of 2 and it felt enough for below deck as the room definitely is up top. The restaurant in marina is fabulous and so are their cocktails"

"We were a group of 10 and this was an amazing way to all stay together and do something totally different than the normal hotel stay. EVERY person loved the boat. We had a couple of issues with the showers, but overall it was fabulous!! Would definitely recommend and stay there again!"

"It's very rare to come across a place and have no complaints, but I can say just that, not one complaint. I loved everything about our stay here in this wonderful houseboat! It had everything you need. It was very clean, very comfortable, and the host was extremely accommodating and very responsive. I hope people see this comment and check this place out when you're visiting London, because it was truly beautiful."
