Captains room on Riverboat with riverview

JamesRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Loved Maarten’s boat. Was a great base for exploring Ghent and a 10-15 minute walk from lots of restaurants and the old town. Very close to T4 tram stop. We loved the cosy boat and walking the gangplank each day. Breakfast in a hamper at the door when we woke up! Maarten is an excellent host and very quick to respond.

2BR Heated Yacht, Lymington Centre, Beautiful View

PennyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We had a great stay on Sea-E-O, very well equipped and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. The beds were super comfortable! A lovely location to sit out on deck and watch the world go by (just a boat every now and again!). I can imagine going back in the summer, with a book and glass of something cold in hand! A short walk into lymington which is lovely, great places to eat, a lovely market and the kids enjoyed crab fishing on the quay. We throughly enjoyed our weekend away - thank you!

Peaceful lake side cabin

EveRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Sharon was very welcoming, and gave really detailed instructions on how to find the place which was very helpful! The location is tranquil, we saw lots of deer, a woodpecker & bats. We enjoyed the BBQ & the kitchen is pretty well stocked with everything you need. We did have an issue with the shower temperature but Sharon & Tom were quick to respond & help. Thanks for a lovely stay

Water Lodge in Lincoln - Kingfisher (Pet Friendly)

BenRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Great little place. Beautiful view of the marina. Lovely area. Great for taking the dog for a walk. We hired a boat for the day which was around a 30 second walk from the property. Peppery cosy and warm. Definitely recommend and we will stay again

SpencerRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Jenny was a great host! The Cabin was spotless on arrival! Very cosy and well equipped... As previous guests had noted the bed is super comfy!! The outside area for dogs is brilliant. Definitely recommend the Culm Valley Inn! Fantastic atmosphere - delicious home cooked food - 15 min walk. Strand Stores serve an incredible breakfast and sell high quality local produce! We also enjoyed a nice day out at Sidmouth beach..

Seascape - Floating Home FreeParking NoCleaningFee

SaraRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Evan and Charlie's place was fantastic. Brighton Marina can be sometimes a complicate place to navigate, with restrictions for both residents and non-residents, but the instructions we received (with pictures!) were absolutely foolproof, everything was and worked exactly as described. The unit worked great for our family of 4. Even though it's small, it has absolutely everything we needed and the use of space is optimised to the maximum. Clean, organised and tastefully furnished. The communication was excellent, the hosts kind and responsive. There were first necessities for breakfast provided (including fresh milk in the fridge!), which was a lovely touch and much appreciated since we arrived late and were traveling with small kids. I would book again with no hesitation and absolutely recommend it.

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.

Counting Sheep - Zena the boat

SuzanneRating, 5 stars7 months ago
This was the most wonderful stay, The little boat is fantastic, so well appointed, it’s 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 can’t 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 there’s 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!

Cozy Canal Boat, Heart of London

Cécile Rating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Listing totally meets our expectations Atypical and charming Very clean and perfect for two However, a small warning completely different from a hotel Things to know Just a detail like the houseboat does not have "address" the map given for check-in corresponds to the address located on the street next door But our hosts answered all our questions within a minute You should also know that water heating and electricity are different from a "normal" accommodation The neighborhood is perfect Arrival at paddington subway spotless And the walk along the magical canal

Historic houseboat. Sauna, parking. Beach 200m

RichardRating, 5 stars1 day ago
What great hosts Julia and Ray were; friendly, knowledgable, helpful and responsive to communication. The directions to the property were clear and the check-in process was quick and easy. The accommodation is set in a great place with views over the river, and well furnished. We loved the projector in the living space which made for some great family movie nights. The rooms were warm and the beds were comfortable, it was a great place for a relaxing stay. 100% recommend this accommodation and hosts Julia and Ray.

The Mary Heather, Lifeboat, Cuan Sound

RichardRating, 5 stars1 month ago
As a family used to camping, we were very comfortable on the boat. Had a lovely stay. A bit of a gamble on the weather in March but were very lucky - out and about in the sun all day on walks from the boat with Cuan the dog watching over us. Perfect for the 4 of us. I could picture the kitchen/table area being a bit crowded with 6. But I’m sure folk could shuffle in somehow.

Chelsea on The Thames. Albert Bridge Houseboat.

GlennRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Fiona was an amazing host. Before we arrived she was super helpful with restaurant suggestions for the Holidays. We had food, coffee and creamer along with the best little mince meat pies. We were met at the entrance and helped into the boat. Easy instructions on the few things that are a little different on a boat. The boat was super charming and relaxing. The location was absolutely the best! We hope to visit again next year, this would be our choice again.

Luxury Houseboat in London that sleeps up to four.

AliRating, 5 stars5 months ago
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
