Amazing river boat

Pros: Everything this place is amazing we will be coming back

One of the best places we’ve stayed in…a hidden treasure!

Pros: Everything was amazing! The boat had everything you could need such as health and beauty products to bikes you can borrow at no extra charge! The hosts really have gone the extra mile, and it makes the stay that little more special. The little touches they’ve added makes the boat so homely and welcoming, no wonder they’re so highly rated. They deserve it!

Cons: Nothing! Everything was great.

Absolutely delightful can’t wait to come again

Pros: Everything little detail had been thought about, from having straighteners & hairdryer to use to the little extra touches considered. Spacious inside & yet quite a cosy feeling at the same time. First time ever staying on a barge and throughly enjoyed my/our stay. Definitely will be back, absolutely loved it! Other half wants to know where the sofa is from! Ha ha

Cons: Nothing - there is nothing not to like about this property!! It’s beautiful and I’d love to own one myself!

The perfect barge get away

Pros: Everything! Stacy was wonderful! We loved the bench on top deck! The layout of everything and the living space is massive! We had everything there we needed. Stacy really covered for everything! All the little touches made it perfect! We even got to feed the ducks ! (And pigeons) we had a lovely walk of a night looking at the other barges. We went for a lovely visit to the nature reserve and a squirrel took a peanut from my hand! ☺️ we see the castle! The stay was just amazing. They had gone above and beyond to make our stay perfect and that it was. Immaculate not a spec of dust in sight! We will be back 1000% this will be a regular for us now. Our families have fallen in-love from the photos and videos we showed them too and want to book. :) thank you so much!

Cons: The only thing I didn’t like is that we didn’t book another night :( definitely need more than a night there!
