District de Spelthorne : Bateaux-maisons

« I’ve stayed in various places in London over thirty years but never on a houseboat. The location is lovely, quiet, and interesting. The houseboat itself is roomy and beautifully decorated from any vantage point. The beds were comfy and the rooms charming. The houseboat is conveniently located near the DLR station, a market, and a notable pub and has a great neighborhood feel. James’s hospitality and helpfulness were exactly what we needed. He answered questions quickly and gave good suggestions....

« What a lovely “out of the box” experience for us Canadians. Slowly rocked to sleep under such a cozy comforter. Every neighbour we met with so friendly in the area. Lovely pub nearby. Highly recommend this boat and the experience with the owners. Thank you so much and we will back »

« This is hands down my favorite VRBO I’ve ever rented. I could live full time in this boat. It’s in the perfect location. The marina is very nice and very safe. Tons of dining choices, close to a couple of grocery stores. You can literally see the tower bridge from the marina. It’s across the road from the Tower of London. The boat itself is very nice. It’s clean. It’s well appointed. The owners are very responsive and easy to work with. I hope to stay there again. Highly recommended! »

« Taggs Island is such an interesting little enclave close to London and unbeknownst to us before. Set in a small inlet off the Thames, the house is one of a group facing onto the water. Linda, the host, has very much personalised it and provides every comfort. Although an expensive add-on, highly recommend the hot tub, which is deep and relaxing. Only down-side to the situation and rather shattering the peace, is being on the Heathrow flightpath, which we hadn't thought about! »

« perfect location, lots going on but at the same time quite quiet, i guess in high season this would be different. Kaia and Bruce perfect hosted. Just a couple of suggestions, a hook on bathroom door and shelves above toilet to put towels and clothes etc on. Maybe a small drop down table in the bedroom. »

« Really nice stay. Amongst the hustle and bustle of London, this place was very calm and tranquil. Perfect for the kid. »

« Cancelled on us so we didn’t get to stay so I can’t review »

« Something a little different for an event I attended at the Excel and it was perfect. A few stops from the venue and the boat itself if is 'as new' condition »

« Great alternative to a boring hotel room. Very simple check in. Great team in board. The boat is a little tired but it’s a wonderful alternative place to stay »
