This is a lovely place to stay in London. We already had plans for most of our short visit, but wish we had added on an extra day to explore Little Venice. It's lovely to wake up to see swans and coots gliding by - it's close to the centre of the city but we felt miles away. The barge is very well laid out and has all the facilities we needed, more than we expected. Sam was a very responsive host and greeted us with a lot of helpful information (and a generously filled fridge). We would love to stay again for longer some time.

    Room was huge, lovely and temperature controlled. Bed was large and comfy, we had an excellent view of the Thames. The boat across the river was very handy and we enjoyed that added bonus. Also very easy to access via bus. All in all had a very enjoyable stay.

    The houseboat has been renovated incredibly well and has everything you need for an extremely comfortable stay. The facilities inside the boat were perfect so that you could really settle in as if it was home. Everything was super clean, the bed was perfect and the person who greeted us was super friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone!
