Waterlodge 2

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!

Comfy bedroom in a quirky houseboat

JayRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We had a great stay with Gail and Dave. They are very friendly and accommodating, especially as we turned, a bit dusty from a days cycling around the island. We would highly recommend their quirky room if you’re in the area.

Floating Marine Lodge

JoanneRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We were lucky to have a sunny weekend which meant we could take full advantage of the deck area.
The image captures a serene waterway bordered by lush greenery, with several ducks and swans gracefully moving across the surface. In the background, a wooden pier extends into the water, while sailboats can be seen in the distance under a clear blue sky.

NEW! Houseboat Nautigal - floating fun!

JohanRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Really lovely place, bigger than it looks on the photos. It was a pleasure to sit by open doors on the comfy chair & watch the water. We also borrowed a chair from the garden to sit on the balcony. We loved how quiet it was. The front garden is attractive and private. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking utensils & a huge fridge/freezer. Be aware the that the beautiful glass walls means the neighbour might accidentally see you dressing - remember to close the electric blinds first! As described, the house does creak a little when the tides change, but it wasn't for long and added to the thrill of living somewhere different. We were visited by a swan & ducks each day & enjoyed feeding them a few handfuls of the pellets provided. I found a route to Woodside beach, approx 20-ish mins walk from house, be aware it's hilly. The tide was high so I only saw pebbles, don't know if there's sand low tide. Jenny was very helpful & responded quickly to our questions.

Canal boat with grand piano, Bath

JessRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I’ve stayed at many Airbnb’s, but this was easily one of my favourite experiences. Not only was the boat cozy and the location beautiful, but David and Pyae were lovely, welcoming hosts. Their hospitality really went above and beyond. I felt right at home - having Pyae’s delicious Burmese food and playing cards with other guests. The room was so clean and well taken care of, as were all the amenities. Such a fun stay!

Inspiring Views & Place With Free Parking By Beach

KellyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Pam & Stacey. Just wanted to say what a lovely stay we had. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the inspiration is fantastic. Being a water baby and living in the city is draining for the soul, I adore being by the water but actually staying ON THE WATER is a new one for me and I cannot wait to come back!! We’ve seen dolphins, seals, jellies, birds, had the most beautiful fresh fish and enjoyed Brixham and all its scenery. We’l see you again soon!! Kelly & Sav xx

Finnish Chalet on Stilts

NathanRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Great stay in an incredible natural setting, quiet and completely exotic. The chalet on stilts is very cozy, we loved the Nordic bath, the boat, the paddleboard… and our dog was able to enjoy it to the fullest thanks to the fully fenced land. We even got to see the milking of the cows, a simple and authentic moment. Breakfast included, super good, and the host is really lovely and welcoming. Less than 30 minutes from Mont-Saint-Michel, this is the perfect place to unwind. We leave with lots of good memories. Thanks again! Nathan,

Luxury house boat & exclusive bath house

CleaRating, 5 stars16 months ago
Our stay at the Blackbird Boat was wonderful. It’s such a unique way to spend time in a truly beautiful and peaceful place. We stayed over a few drizzly days but the boat was really cosy with the sound of rain and the bath house was such a treat - watching the sun set over the lake whilst soaking in the tub was the epitome of luxury! The kitchen was really well appointed for cooking our own meals and everything was comfy and clean. There are some beautiful locations for walking all within a reasonable driving distance as well as some nice towns nearby for day trips or meals out. Highly recommend!
