Boat in London
5 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviewsLuxurious Boat in Regents Park
Our stay, on a boat moored in a canal at Regent's Park, was the perfect setting for a weeklong sightseeing stay in London. It was comfortable, clean, updated, and gave us all the room we needed. In addition, it was surprisingly quiet, given that we were in the middle of a world capital, and was marked only occasionally by the singing gondolier who plied the canal past the boat. Andres & Candi were very attentive hosts, communicating well about location and time to meet for check-in, and responding promptly to our questions and needs during the stay. I recommend them very highly!

Another lovely stay. James and the team were as friendly and helpful as ever and I felt right at home. This is perfect for a single person as it's secure and private with a lovely view and the birth holders are friendly. Everything was perfect. Thank you once again.

Hello, We were two adults ans two kids and there was plenty of room to accommodate us 4. We had a great stay and a warm welcome. The location is great in Little Venice. Of course, if you go for this type of accommodation you know it will be somewhat different and exciting and this is exactly what youāll get. Brushing your teeth with geese and ducks passing by - you canāt beat that.

We absolutely loved our time in this little cabin. Itās so cosy inside with the fire on and underfloor heating, and the bed was so comfy!! Itās in a perfect secluded location and an easy 20 minute walk along the river into the village where thereās a little cafe and pub with a fire. We felt so at home and wish we lived in one just like it! Would 100% recommend x

Myself and a few friends stayed here for 1 night, we were pleasantly surprised when we booked at how in depth Evan and Charlie were in terms of sending us various suggestions of restaurants and bars in the vicinity. The check in process was seamless and easy after a long 3 and a half hour drive from south wales we were greeted with one of if not the cleanest most aesthetically pleasing place I have stayed, the scenery from the balcony was unbelievable and made the trip worth it alone. This place is within walking distance of so many different restaurants/bars/sports bars and I would highly recommend this to anybody looking to stay in Brighton. Thank you Evan and Charlie for a brilliant weekend

Houseboat in Hertfordshire

Wow, excellent surroundings and a warm greeting. Lovely relaxed atmosphere making you feel very comfortable. Good instruction and tour of barge and grounds. Just very enjoyable all round. The only disappointment was that we didnt find it earlier in the year. Will book again.

Boat in Herstmonceux
5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsCounting Sheep - Zena the boat
This was the most wonderful stay, The little boat is fantastic, so well appointed, itās tranquil, the farm is so quiet and full of wildlife. We felt so welcome and so well looked after. The owners are so friendly They even went out of their way to buy me special food because of my allergies. And the on-site indoor heated swimming pool was such a bonus. To be honest, we just canāt wait to come back - either to the shepherds huts which also looked gorgeous or to Zena the boat. I would recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a deeply relaxing enjoyable experience. The village is a very short drive or a lovely walk away and thereās nice pubs and a few shops. And the beach and surrounding countryside is also lovely. Kingfishers , herons, geese, dogs, baby calves, owls, bunnies, deer, birds of prey and then stargazing From the deck at night by the fire pit - Wonderful!

Boat in Greater London
4.77 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviewsPied Ć L'Eau
Iāve been to London 6 times, but this was my favorite trip! Martinās boat was cozy and comfortable and was docked in Little Venice, my new favorite part of London. This is definitely an off grid experience. The solar setup on the boat gave me more than enough juice to keep my electronics charged and to provide lots of light. The stove is now oil-based and stayed on and hot for my entire visitāI was snug and warm the entire week. The bed might be a bit short for two tall people, but I was comfortable by myself. I used the handheld shower in the tub and had no problem. The weather is too chilly now in February to get a full tub of hot water, but Iām really looking forward to coming back during warm weather and taking a leisurely soak in the big clawfoot tub. Because the tub is below the waterline, there is a pump that pulls the water out and drains it in the canalājust flip a switch and 1 minute later, itās emptyānot complicated at all. Martin was a great host!

Houseboat in Hampton
5 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviewsTamanzi Taggs-floating home on idyllic island
We just had a welcoming weekend staycation in Tamanzi on Taggs Island. It was so cosy that we instantly felt at home and the extra touches made it even more special. The location is fantastic, being so close to Bushy Park, Hampton Court Palace and of course, The Thames. It was so good to relax and unwind for the weekend.

Houseboat in Emsworth
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviewsThe Arks Sea Breeze
This really is a very special place to stay, floating on your own Ark amongst the boats in the marina looking out to sea. We got lucky with clear and sunny winter days - and loved having the excellent supplied breakfast outside all wrapped up against the cold. Inside the Ark was lovely and toasty and we appreciated all of the bedding, extra cushions and rugs which made it the perfect snug romantic getaway. Well done Stehpanie & Thornham Marina - 5 stars indeed!...

What a fun, unique stay! Our group had a blast living the sailor life for the week. Our flight arrived early AM and Joe was very gracious to give us early check-in with no issue, and we were able to easily get in and feel comfortable after a long travel day. Everything we needed was there, including the surrounding area- super easy to get to markets, tube, Uber boat, restaurants, and pubs. Surprisingly spacious for our group of 4, in both bedrooms and common spaces alike. The neighborhood felt very safe day or night. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our loved ones too! Thanks Joe & Co.!

Here for 6 nights, the boat exceeded our expectations, overwhelmed by the size and space, nice to be able to unpack few clothes out of our suitcases that we had been living out of for 4weeks, so close to central city, and Limehouse rail, easy walking distance to canary for great shopping and restaurants, we will be back! Thanks Rebecca
