Boat vacation 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.

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!

We had a really good experience in the boat especially with the kids. We’ve enjoyed so much. The whole pack of the boat is a rockstar! Good for small family too. What we love was the cozy bedroom, sets of books and a little intimate activity for our family since staying in a tiny/narrowboat which brings family more closer ❣️ To Thomas, the guide was very detailed and very helpful. Will definitely recommend

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 :)

A peaceful stay in the heart of the east side of the city, close toTower Hill. The boat and the marina are in a beautiful area surrounded by wonderful restaurants yet very quiet and and walkable to the underground tube, which quickly transports you anywhere in the city. We felt very safe and protected with security office nearby. Our host, James, was so kind and lovely at check-in. He made sure we felt comfortable with the interior of the boat, and explained how water and heating operated. He gave us food recommendations, and insured all of our questions were answered during our tour of the boat during check-in. Really, just a lovely person. Staying on the boat was extremely comfortable and we never felt as though we needed more room. The master bedroom was spacious and the bed very dreamy and I drifted off to sleep very quickly every night with the lull of the water. There was never a feeling of any motion sickness. I can recommend it highly.

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!
