We loved all the small touches, including antique fittings, cushions and soft furnishings on the boat, which is truly charming.

Toilets are a walk but it’s a boat not a hotel room

So cozy and comfortable with space to move around, Location was perfect and quiet

Having a working cooker would’ve been helpful

Quirky little boat - great experience

Stayed in April 2024

The one and only thing i would say was a negative was the cleanliness. It was dusty and grubby in places but as it was only for one night we let it slide.

Its exactly as it states. No, it's not overly warm at all, but it's a little boat with just a tiny heater at one of the coldest times of year so exactly to be expected. Yes it's crammed and confined but again, it's a little boat so to be expected. We knew exactly what we were booking and it's exactly what we wanted for a night away. It's set in a great location with plenty of other towns to visit close by. If you like your bog standard hotel rooms then i wouldn't suggest it. However, if you are open minded, up for something a little it different...quirky almost, then give it a go. We will definitely be back in the summer as feel it would be great in the evening out on the grass with a bbq chilling in the peace and quiet. Could not fault the staff (Jessie) who we dealt with when we had enquiries, or wanted some guidance on good places to eat etc. Nothing seemed too much trouble.

It was a bit tricky getting on and off - even with the steps provided - as I'm fairly small and found it difficult to step over the rails so had to go between them. It would be easier if you could unhook the top rail for easy access.

Lovely position on the river and right in the middle of town.

cramped toilet/shower, but i can live with that.

It was a fantastic night, quirky and fun. Cost was quite affordable, little extras like tea/coffee, mini bar etc, were all great. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for that 'something different' to a normal hotel/room.

What is not to like?!

It was a unique experience. Walking distance to town centre. Secured site. We also had a complimentary wine and sundries. Hospitable host! Thank you, Jessie.

Distance to showers

Liked staying on a boat and only short distance to pub

Limited toilet facilities especially overnight. If you have limited mobility getting on and off the boat can be difficult.

Excellent location very close to the centre of Sandwich, a beautiful town in the south east. Free parking onsite which is good to look at the town. Plenty of shops cafes etc. Quiet relaxing location on the river.

just the small space of sleeping but that was my preference rather than anything wrong with the boat .

quirky , peaceful and beautiful view .

there's wasn't much not to like, getting on and off the boat was challenging at times but that's to be expected the noise of the boat in the night creaking/wind but also as to be expected 😁

the location is perfect 😍

Great location

there was a very strong smell of diesel in the sleeping area, and the way on to the boat was a bit tricky

very cosey and comfy with nice little added extras

Stayed in November 2022

Strong smell of fumes in the bedroom not sure if it was Diesel or paint even with the window open it was very over powering

Beautiful location

Great quirky experience at good price for area. Lots little extras were included and free parking. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner just before leaving the site. Would definitely like to stay again if n when in Sandwich.

I should have checked beforehand that a 6 feet 4 inches tall man would actually fit on the vessel!

Location is great, lots of places to visit and discover.

Great location near center. Quiet. More than enough space and good value for money.

Didn’t realise there was no hot water on board. Being a boat, you can’t use the toilet for ‘solids’. Were told there was a public toilet and shower close by but this is only open 9am - 8pm. Wasn’t told there is a toilet on site, another owner told us. Boat needs a little TLC, one of the bedrooms seems to have a small damp issue.

Terrific location, really quiet and peaceful, despite being close to town centre. Easy to access. Owner was very easy to contact and happy to help. Very central for pubs, restaurants and cafes. Central to lots of attractions.

It wouldn’t suit anyone with mobility issues (not a problem in our case, but just worth a mention here)

A really quirky place to stay and so relaxing to be on the river. And the marina community were just the nicest, friendly people.

Access getting onto boat ok for us but if your mobility wasn’t so good could be a problem

Location great, Boat had everything you needed

Stayed in May 2022

We didn't manage to access the toilets early in the morning but did access fine in the late afternoon.

It was a great experience staying on a sailing boat and we enjoyed our short stay with our small dog. There are some nice touches on-board and it is fascinating to see the clever, efficient design. It was good walking around Sandwich, taking in the architecture and also walking the neighbouring green spaces. It was so peaceful sitting out on the boat watching the water flowing and listening to it's gentle rhythm.

We loved everything and have nothing to complain about whatsoever.

The attention to detail left me speechless. They have literally thought of every single thing you might need during your stay. There is an honesty jar to contribute towards what you have used. Clean, comfy, quiet, beautiful spot, great value for money and friendly welcome. We will 100% book again but for longer next time. Perfect! Highly recommend for something a little different.

The location was great, the boat was cute, accomodating and just what we wanted for a few nights away from the hustle of everyday life. The ducks swimming by the boat was a lovely addition to our stay, very accessible & nicely quiet. It was just what we needed to recharge! The host Jessie could not have been a nicer man to meet and was on hand at a seconds notice with any question 100% going back there in the summer, highly recommend
