Houseboat holiday rentals in Great Britain

The pod was immaculately clean and was well equipped with everything you would need for a short stay. Super comfy bed too! Peaceful surroundings, loved waking up to the views of the water each morning. Toilet / shower facilities close by, which were also very clean Would happily stay again.

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.

My wife and I had a lovely stay in the pod booked as a surprise for my wife on our anniversary it was very peaceful and a lovely location and a super Pod we both would highly recommend it for a stay

C'est la deuxième fois que nous venons séjourner. Lieux très agréable, apaisant, très joli.

This is the second time we have stayed. Everyone is so helpful and accommodating and we would recommend to anyone. Thank you for a wonderful time.

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.

We had a lovely stay. Convenient spot in easy walking distance of the city centre. And the kids had great fun sleeping on a boat!

Had such an amazing stay at Sharon’s place! The setting was unreal, no complaints whatsoever. The setting was beautiful, we were lucky with amazing weather so spent our days lounging on the lake decking! The cabin was super clean and beautiful. The hosts were so responsive and accommodating. Would recommend 100%, a truly lovely stay :) thank you again!

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

We had a wonderful 4 night stay on Water Lodge. A fabulous base for exploring the Isle of Wight. We all slept amazingly well and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay for a family of four. Thank you Yarmouth Harbour!

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..

A mini paradise! The gardens are beautiful, it’s clear Trevor has spent a lot of time and effort on building it up. The facilities are amazing, you can spend a whole weekend there without needing to go anywhere given the hot tub, outdoor sofas, fire pit and everything on the barge. Inside was spotless, the facilities were like new. Trev was a great host, taking the time to chat us through how everything worked and making us feel at ease.

I have always been intrigued by the narrow boats along London's canals. Getting to stay on Martin's boat was a dream come true!! Martin met up with me and walked me to the boat to show me how things work. Staying on the boat is not like staying at a hotel. It's a special experience, and there are certain things to know for your stay (how to work the fireplace, the tub drain, the composting toilet, etc.) None of it is difficult and it's part of experiencing boat life. The bed was so cozy, I slept like a baby. I felt safe and secure the whole time I was there, and had everything I needed... I mean, a clawfoot bathtub on a boat??!!?!? What more could you ask for? Martin is perhaps the nicest host I've ever encountered. I wish I could have stayed longer, and will definitely try to book the boat again next time I'm in London.

What a fabulous and unique experience for our first visit to London — would absolutely stay here again! This boat was full of all the modern amenities you could need, even a washer. The canal was gorgeous and so peaceful to stroll along, we felt right at home. The host was super responsive at all times and provided ample instruction in advance for locating upon arrival. If you’re looking for something more exciting than your standard hotel room, this is it!

Staying at Tamanzi on Taggs Island was absolutely wonderful and truly magical. Linda should win an award as the Best Hostess Ever! This place will take your breath away. To say it was amazing and fabulous would be an understatement. We both loved it. What a stunning experience ♥️

Experiencia fantástica. Los niños lo disfrutaron muchísimo. Aunque hubo una pega, en el grupo viajaba una persona ciega y el alojamiento no es nada accesible, requería ayuda para moverse por el barco. Por lo demás estuvo genial, muy limpio, camas muy cómodas, salón-cocina muy amplio. Jonathan, el anfitrión, muy amable, resolviendo todas las dudas al momento y facilitándonos la llegada, aunque nos adelantamos a la hora prevista. En resumen, muy recomendable, sobre todo si buscas una experiencias a diferente en Londres.

Lovely place, very smart and comfortable Great to wake up to the gentle sound of water and birds and the very gentle movement of the houseboat.

Beautiful houseboat - stunning views and totally unique experience for us. Bembridge is a very special place and we loved sitting on the deck looking out.

We had a fantastic relaxing time at the water snug. Absolutely stunning cabin and surroundings. Loved watching the Canadian Geese, seeing the different birds including the green woodpecker, blue tit's and grey wagtail. Hearing the owl and just completely relaxing on the veranda The water snug was decorated beautifully which we loved how it was done. Patrick and Juliette were lovely and friendly and was a pleasure to meet them and cant wait to come back and try the little cabin next!

We had a lovely few nights on the houseboat with two young children. There was plenty of space for us all and lovely local amenities. The benefit of having a park next door and the beach a 5-minute walk away was perfect.

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.

Great and unique bnb for a trip to London, especially with teenagers! Just a short distance from the city and yet very peaceful. Perfect ‘homecoming’ after a day in the crowded centre. Everything we needed was there and the extra showers at the marina were a bonus. Rebecca and her team were easygoing and very friendly.

Host was friendly, responsive and helpful. The boat's surroundings were idyllic. It felt private and secluded but with the advantage of having everything you needed on your doorstep. Very clever use of space. Everything had been thought of for a comfortable stay. There were lots of lovely little luxury touches and it is clear a lot of time and attention goes onto the running of this AirBnB. I would highly recommend this place and would stay here again. The basic price is good. It is the AirBnB fees that make this slightly less value for money. Which is why I only look on AirBnB as a last resort these days.
