We spent one night in the boat, all the information made it very easy to check in and easy to find. Everything was really well prepared for us and made the stay very cosy. Thank you for a great stay.

Friends 60th Birthday Celebration

Very sweet boat in lovely location. I didn’t hear back from the owner re check in until the day I was checking in despite 3 emails. The boat was lovely, had a great nights sleep and pretty location. All very clean and lovely. Flushing the toilet was a little challenging. We went to a concert at Hampton Court and it was a great location to visit there. A lovely time was had

Lovely cozy boat

It was amazing to see how everything fitted in a small boat. My son was excited to see the space. It was warm and the beds were comfy. We love to see the swans visiting and rower practicing while having breakfast outdoor.

21st Birthday Celebration Boat House Break!

We had an amazing few days in lovely Kingston on the cute and cozy house boat, 'Arnold'. The weather was far better than expected, which made for a more than fantastic stay. Returned home relaxed and rested. Would recommend!

Great boat in a nice little town

Highly recommended. Nice and quiet, comfortable and very close to pubs and food, and a short walk across the bridge to a bigger town. Monica was very helpful and great to communicate with. Thanks Monica

Great location but not for anyone with mobility issues

The location of the boat is great with easy access to Hampton Wick and Richmond. Thirty minute train ride into London and close to Hampton Court Palace. Access on to the boat is not easy and could be impossible if you have mobility issues or are of a large build. Another thing that we found strange was that you are not allowed to put toilet paper down the toilet. Probably would not use again...

Liked: Communication
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Very damp, no dehumidifier. Carpet around toilet and one bedroom very wet. So much air freshener used to mask the strong damp smell. No curtains in bedroom areas to block light, only window frosting. The boats are more packed in than appears in the picture and the view much more restricted. After few hours on the boat we had to leave because of the smell.
