Boat holiday rentals in River Thames

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 you’ll get. Brushing your teeth with geese and ducks passing by - you can’t beat that.

Wonderful, well equipped and surprisingly spacious. Lovely to stroll along the canal or enjoy nearby Primrose Hill. Andres was very quick to respond. A magical experience.

Really enjoyed my stay here! Was a lovely location near the restaurants, the boat is clean and has everything you’d need. Check-in was straightforward and the car park was really handy just round the corner!

Great overnight stay on Mischief, which was a treat for my husband’s birthday whilst attending the boat show. Kathy was available upon check in to show us around the boat. A quirky little stay, ideal for anyone who was looking for something alternative to the usual Airbnb & hotels. We had a great stay, thank you Kathy

A great place to stay, so much nicer and more interesting than a hotel or usual AirBnB. We enjoyed our short stay, making full use of the amenities on board and the nearby restaurants. Steve was helpful and responded to all our queries promptly. A really nice chap. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something a bit different.

Another great year in the Pig Boat!!! Nancy was as lovely and helpful as ever, the boat looks gorgeous and was absolutely spotless. Wonderful location, felt very safe on the boat at night. Thank you again Nancy!

The boat was lovely. It was perfect walking distance to a friend's house where we had a weekend of birthday celebrations and also perfect for the parkrun at Bushy Park Saturday morning. The boat looked just like the photos and loved the quirkiness of it. I was staying on the boat with my sister and brother-in-law so access to the outside toilet and shower provided extra privacy. We had a few queries over the weekend and Monica was always very quick to respond. Staying on the boat added to the wonderful weekend - thank you :)

We loved our stay on Mia’s gorgeous boat. We were even stopped a couple times by passers by admiring the set up while we sat out on the stern in the sun ! Everything was clean, tidy and super simple to manage, all the plants make it feel really cosy as well as a natural sanctuary. We had a drink at crate brewery as well as food at Lucia’s which is super close to the boat and offers amazing tacos and intimate cool vibe. Sad not to have stayed for longer - but was a charming birthday surprise. Thanks Mia!

I truly enjoyed staying aboard Dana- it was a real pleasure and I was very sad to leave. Even at 6 ft 4 in (1.9M) tall, I fit in the shower no problem, which is quite an accomplishment in general, not to mention on a boat. The galley was better appointed than most Airbnb kitchens on land, and though the docks are very quiet, there are plenty of good restaurants, pubs, and attractions in the neighborhood. Tower Hill is a very convenient tube stop. I found it to be a very charming vessel that really felt like home - I came alone on business, but really hope that I will be able to bring my family back. You definitely feel that many good memories have been made here and that it is well-loved and well cared for.

Staying on a canal boat in the thick of the action in Hackney Wick is beyond anything we ever imagined! Harry was a true legend and a superb host, always available and had back up contacts if we needed them. The boat is spacious, comfortable and unique without compromising on amenities (like the telly) that travellers might be hesitant to go without. Harry provides everything you need for cozy fires, the kitchen is fully kitted out, all sorts of supplies, guides and recommendations for the area, as well as one of the best welcome packages I have ever used. Would gladly have spent far more time there than we had and I would highly recommend a day/night dedicated to just relaxing and experiencing the lifestyle and community that is the UK canals. Amazing, fun, vibrant location and still peaceful and quiet. Best of all the worlds!

Saul and Sarah's barge 'Flicka' is a fantastic place to stay in London, with the ferry to Central London right on the doorstep and the best way to travel and see the sights at the same time. Saul and Sarah are awesome hosts and wonderful chefs - the private dining experience they cooked and served for us on New Years Eve was truly amazing. A totally fabulous and unique experience!

We wanted a quirky airbnb for our first few days in England. The boat was perfect, easy to get to and from but also restful for a family dealing with jetlag. Every moment on the boat was great! We really appreciated the boat tour with TJ for a breakfast picked up in Primrose Hill!

One of the more unique and charming glamping stays I’ve had. Every detail had been considered, and the decor was on theme without descending into kitsch. A brilliant rock-and-roll-luxe vibe. One morning the autumn morning was gorgeous and I sat on a stump by the little river nearby - an absolute idyll and so peaceful. It exceeded expectations. I arrived late, and it was slightly tricky to find the right gate in the dark, but that was probably just my own discombobulation. Kate was great, very responsive, and made sure I had a table in the nearby (excellent) pub for dinner if I needed it, which I did. Would happily visit again!
