The modern boat interior has been designed to complement the beautiful oak beams and larch planking, it includes a double kingsize bed or two singles, running water, tea, coffee and WiFi.

The boat is positioned on a large deck made of reclaimed sleepers within a tranquil woodland overlooking the beautiful fenland countryside. The perfect retreat for couples to relax, explore and enjoy the amazing sunsets.

The kitchen contains a large vintage carpenters workbench, with butler sink, cooking hobs and fridge. The spacious bathroom includes a walk-in shower, toilet and basin.

The boat is positioned on its own privately fenced three acre woodland, on our small holding where we live in a 1760 Georgian property with our pet goats, horses, pigs, sheep, cow, dogs and chickens.

We try to live a eco friendly sustainable lifestyle and as such the boat runs entirely off-grid with renewable energy produced by our solar panels.
