Houseboat holiday rentals in United Kingdom

The pod was well-located with a great view of the boats in the morning. The pod and bathroom were clean. Great welcome from the hosts. Everything you need in the pod. I would recommend 100%!

Wonderful, well equipped and surprisingly spacious. Lovely to stroll along the canal or enjoy nearby Primrose Hill. Andres was very quick to respond. A magical experience.

Another lovely stay. James and the team were as friendly and helpful as ever and I felt right at home. This is perfect for a single person as it's secure and private with a lovely view and the birth holders are friendly. Everything was perfect. Thank you once again.

We had a great stay on Sea-E-O, very well equipped and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. The beds were super comfortable! A lovely location to sit out on deck and watch the world go by (just a boat every now and again!). I can imagine going back in the summer, with a book and glass of something cold in hand! A short walk into lymington which is lovely, great places to eat, a lovely market and the kids enjoyed crab fishing on the quay. We throughly enjoyed our weekend away - thank you!

Hello, We were two adults ans two kids and there was plenty of room to accommodate us 4. We had a great stay and a warm welcome. The location is great in Little Venice. Of course, if you go for this type of accommodation you know it will be somewhat different and exciting and this is exactly what you’ll get. Brushing your teeth with geese and ducks passing by - you can’t beat that.

We had a lovely stay. Convenient spot in easy walking distance of the city centre. And the kids had great fun sleeping on a boat!

Charming rustic cabin located in the beautiful and tranquil countryside, perfect for disconnecting from screen time. Hosts Sharon and Tom are friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed a lovely Easter weekend. Thank you for having us!

Great little place. Beautiful view of the marina. Lovely area. Great for taking the dog for a walk. We hired a boat for the day which was around a 30 second walk from the property. Peppery cosy and warm. Definitely recommend and we will stay again

We had a wonderful 4 night stay on Water Lodge. A fabulous base for exploring the Isle of Wight. We all slept amazingly well and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay for a family of four. Thank you Yarmouth Harbour!

Jenny was a great host! The Cabin was spotless on arrival! Very cosy and well equipped... As previous guests had noted the bed is super comfy!! The outside area for dogs is brilliant. Definitely recommend the Culm Valley Inn! Fantastic atmosphere - delicious home cooked food - 15 min walk. Strand Stores serve an incredible breakfast and sell high quality local produce! We also enjoyed a nice day out at Sidmouth beach..

Outstanding hosts - we felt a real sense of generosity from them throughout the apartment, from snacks, coffee pods , shower gel options and little touches like water next to the bed in beautiful glass bottles and milk in the fridge! Dog friendly and no extra fee . The apartment was beautifully presented , quirky set up, very quiet and peaceful- couldn’t even hear the marina. We were blessed with a beautiful sunset and eating outside on private balcony- (felt like we were on a cruise !) and then a storm through the night - the apartment felt cosy. Comfy beds , a great and easy to use sofa bed for our young kids and the hosts were kind enough to highlight the steep steps up to the bedroom and the open balcony wrt safety for our 3yr old - it actually felt quite safe , just stopped 3 yr old going upstairs alone . All in all - a fantastic stay. We would like to return.

Lovely night away to celebrate a birthday. The boat is beautifully furnished and maintained to a very high standard. The high level cleanliness of all areas was welcomed and it's very obvious Trevor cares deeply about the experience of his guests. The boat itself is like a two bedroom apartment on water with ample space and almost zero movement (for those worried about nausea!). The boat is moored behind a private gate which is surrounded by beautiful, established planting to give a feeling of peace and privacy. The hot tub is large and very warm and the outdoor seating areas/fire pit are a wonderful addition. We would have loved to have stayed longer and highly recommend to anyone looking for an interesting but relaxing getaway. Great communication and hospitality. Thanks Trevor!

This was the most wonderful stay, The little boat is fantastic, so well appointed, it’s tranquil, the farm is so quiet and full of wildlife. We felt so welcome and so well looked after. The owners are so friendly They even went out of their way to buy me special food because of my allergies. And the on-site indoor heated swimming pool was such a bonus. To be honest, we just can’t wait to come back - either to the shepherds huts which also looked gorgeous or to Zena the boat. I would recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a deeply relaxing enjoyable experience. The village is a very short drive or a lovely walk away and there’s nice pubs and a few shops. And the beach and surrounding countryside is also lovely. Kingfishers , herons, geese, dogs, baby calves, owls, bunnies, deer, birds of prey and then stargazing From the deck at night by the fire pit - Wonderful!

I was traveling alone and wanted something unique and relaxing to make my trip extra special. This was such an amazing find! It was so nice to lay in bed with the curtains open so I could see the ducks, geese, and even swans swimming past the boat. The claw foot bathtub was a nice way to relax my muscles after spending all day exploring the city. I stayed for just over a week and there was always enough battery stored up to charge all of my devices including my laptop, cell phone, and the extra backup charger I’d take with me on my day trips through town. It is an eco lifestyle so you should listen to the instructions the host gives you to make sure you understand how everything works. It’s well worth it for this extremely beautiful and unique experience. The host, Martin responds quickly and was so kind to assist me with some special requests. I will be suggesting him to anyone I know who travels to London and I hope to get to stay on his lovely boathouse again in the future.

We really had a great time at Jonathan’s boat ! It’s cozy and the view is beautiful . The spot is very well situated near the DLR. Nothing too say it was Magical for us !

Lovely place, very smart and comfortable Great to wake up to the gentle sound of water and birds and the very gentle movement of the houseboat.

Beautiful houseboat - stunning views and totally unique experience for us. Bembridge is a very special place and we loved sitting on the deck looking out.

The loveliest little cabin! Stayed here over my birthday and Patrick had set up the cutest balloon display when we arrived. Made my birthday that extra special. The location is amazing, surrounded by nature and wildlife and the cabin itself was stunning. Bed was so comfy and the dvd’s were fun to pick from :) would definitely recommend.

Family of four including two teenage boys. We had the most wonderful two nights on Bimini. The houseboat was quirky, peaceful and luxurious all at the same time. We loved the sauna, the outdoor space for breakfast and the screen for late night films. A bonus that the beach is 5 minutes away for a bbq. Julia was lovely and very helpful. It was a perfect Easter getaway. Thank you

Fiona was an amazing host. Before we arrived she was super helpful with restaurant suggestions for the Holidays. We had food, coffee and creamer along with the best little mince meat pies. We were met at the entrance and helped into the boat. Easy instructions on the few things that are a little different on a boat. The boat was super charming and relaxing. The location was absolutely the best! We hope to visit again next year, this would be our choice again.

A truly one-of-a-kind experience! Staying on this houseboat in London was unforgettable - cozy, charming and totally unique. The location is peaceful with easy access to DLR trains. The hostess was welcoming, responsive and made sure everything was in place for a comfortable stay. Everything was great, clean and well-equipped. Just one small thing to note: the hot water and heating are on a pre-set schedule and can only be adjusted by the hostess. Not a big deal at all, but if your plans change unexpectedly, you might need to wait a bit for a warm shower. Still, that’s a minor detail in an otherwise fantastic stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking to do something a little different in London!

Host was friendly, responsive and helpful. The boat's surroundings were idyllic. It felt private and secluded but with the advantage of having everything you needed on your doorstep. Very clever use of space. Everything had been thought of for a comfortable stay. There were lots of lovely little luxury touches and it is clear a lot of time and attention goes onto the running of this AirBnB. I would highly recommend this place and would stay here again. The basic price is good. It is the AirBnB fees that make this slightly less value for money. Which is why I only look on AirBnB as a last resort these days.
