The boat was great 👍, so quiet, and had comfortable beds. We went to a concert at the 02, the tube (jubilee line) is a 10 min walk and then 1 stop to the 02 so worked out as a perfect little stay. The boat itself was small but comfortable with quirky decoration throughout. I would definitely stay again! Staff very friendly too.

The barge is beautifully decorated and equipped, also very central. Our host Sam was very hospitable and provided some bread, eggs and milk on arrival. We could always contact her when necessary. We'd love to come back!

To stay in a narrowboat in the centre of London is truly unique. I stayed two nights on the boat with my three daughters and the kids and myself loved it. The inside of the boat is cosy and full of character. A gas heater kept us warm in February. The beds were comfy. For an additional fee the boat owner offered to take us on a little cruise along the canal, which was a really fun experience. Little Venice is a wonderfully quiet part of London.

    Fabulous! We had a lovely time on this, yacht in the marina, Mark met us at the gate and showed us around the boat. He's very friendly and helpful and the boat was very well kept. It's in a great location, lots of bars and restaurants very close by and Tower Bridge is just a few minutes walk away. Highly recommended!

    The houseboat has been renovated incredibly well and has everything you need for an extremely comfortable stay. The facilities inside the boat were perfect so that you could really settle in as if it was home. Everything was super clean, the bed was perfect and the person who greeted us was super friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone!
