Boat vacation rentals in Great Britain

Overall, everything about the accommodation was a pleasant surprise. Cleanliness, communication, and charm were all as good as it gets, and Joyce was a delightful host. Staying in a boat along with the time spent exploring the canal on foot really made the trip. Thanks!

Our family of 3 loved staying in the houseboat. It was a great hideaway in the middle of the city. The boat was even larger than we expected and very comfortable.

Thank you Andrew, we loved staying in your quirky Airbnb. The boat was cosy & warm. You were welcoming & knowledgeable. Left the car at the location & got the number 3 bus into Bath for the Christmas markets - fab location. Thank you

Very close to the city center, the accommodation is spacious and pleasant. Jean-Marie is passionate and is a facilitator. I recommend it.

A very special experience, with great communication and responsiveness with any questions we had.

Lovely unique place to stay. The stove kept the boat cozy even on a stormy night. Ger was very responsive to anything we needed. Fun exploring the canal and easy to get to site near. Groceries and restaurants walkable as well.

Great place, nice and relaxing. Is ideal for a family get together. Lovely host and very helpful. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Excellent hosting and value for money. Franck even helped me resolve a work issue. I highly recommend it.

We had a great time, a first for us. Catherine and Mikael are very attentive hosts, always available for our needs. Hearty breakfast, very pleasant to get up and see fresh bread and pastries with fruit and yogurt. We recommend it and will be back with pleasure. Thanks Catherine and Mikael

Princess Eve was a gorgeous place to stay, Paul was very helpful with meeting him with the key card for the marina etc. The boat itself is gorgeous, you can sit out on the front whilst having a drink and watching the sunset. Highly recommend. Archie

We stayed on the Gin Odyssey for the bank holiday weekend. Ric, the owner and host could not have been more accommodating. Clear instructions before arrival, all the information we needed for our break, wifi passwords, local recommendations he could not have been more helpful. The boat is located in a really good location, next to beach for fishing and crabbing and a 10minute walk from the harbour and restaurants. As a family of 5 with one younger child there was plenty for everyone. Highly recommended to anyone wanting something a bit different.

Nice experience with our two kids ( 9 and 13 )

Very pleasant and exotic weekend aboard Richard's sailboat. The kids were thrilled. The boat is friendly and convenient, the bathrooms are close and clean. Richard is a very considerate and available host. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay aboard Sea Wolf and would definitely recommend. A friendly host who made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend! Great location, lots of lovely walks and nice shops and pubs nearby. Thank you for a wonderful time!

We had a wonderful time we was met by glen who was the perfect gentleman couldn’t have been more approachable and kind,made us feel extremely welcome and nothing was too much to make sure we had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. Emma has a Beautiful boat and has gone to extreme lengths to ensure everything is to hand that you could possibly need to have an amazing stay.

Great experience! Something different than different. Clear explanation from Claire and instructions. The boat looked cozy and we cooked deliciously and sat outside with our wine. Everything works well. Bed is not for tall people, but it was lovely and nice and warm. Recommended.

We had so much fun exploring Cambridge and Ely from the boat. It is a fantastic way to get to explore the area and have an adventure at the same time. The boat is lovely and was easy enough to navigate after getting a lesson from Gary. We would love to do it again and highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at Rhapsody in Blue! Would definitely recommend for a relaxing break away. Simon greeted us on arrival and gave us lots of information about the boat and the amenities and the boat was exactly like the pictures.

Excellent place to stay and Colin the host, was exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable about the boat and the surrounding areas. This was a beautiful and peaceful experience and so memorable, as such an unusual place to stay.

I met Gareth earlier to pick up the keys. I returned later that evening and had a fantastic evening, cooked myself some dinner and watched one of the DVD’s. This really is one of my favourite stays. If you’re looking for a boring hotel room then don’t stay here. If you’re looking for a fantastic cozy getaway then I would recommend this little Gem. Fantastic host and communication. Boat life is certainly for me.

Excellent neighborhood and location and very easy public transport to all the things we wanted to do in London. Children loved the boat and very to close to restaurant options around Kew Green. Had such a lovely time!

We had a brilliant stay here, my 4 and 6 year old loved it, and we had a great time as a family, and then it was cost as a couple in the living space in the evening. Spotlessly clean and lovely extras like asking which toys and books for the kids. Amazing communication. Super convenient location for chelmsford, Colchester, Maldon, Hylands park.
