Hillingdon : Bateaux-maisons

« This was a fantastic place that was exactly what it said it was, and exactly what we needed. Even better: there had been comments that the WiFi and cell signals did not work in the bedrooms, but they did. And there were two TV available for use for presentations. The wharf area was wonderfully quiet with the Tower Bridge literally right next door. Plenty of restaurants right there or right across the bridge, making for a great walk around dinner. I will definitely try and stay here again. »

« This was such a wonderful and unique way to spend a few nights in London - both the narrowboat itself and the location. Staying on the water is a world apart from any hotel experience, The rustic charms and quirks of narrowboat living and the sense of community with other boat dwellers made it special. Everything was spotlessly clean and communication throughout was great. There’s also a great pub just across the footbridge! Highly recommended for a couple in search of something beyond the...

« The houseboat was absolutely lovely and the space very effectively used. I loved being there at all times of day and night with the beautiful view of Browning Pond. The Papillon was the most beautiful houseboat I saw the whole time I was on the canals, and it was interesting to see the movement of some of the others that are not permanently moored. There were many appealing restaurants in walking distance, bus service very nearby, and it was great fun to sit up on the top deck as I had wonderful...

« L'emplacement est top et la communication avec l'hôte est facile. Cependant il n'est pas précisé dans l'annonce que la péniche est amarrée avec une autre péniche, les fenêtres donnent sur l'intérieur de l'autre péniche. Il n'y a de l'eau chaude que pour deux petites douches. Le supplément payé pour une 5ème personne est très élevé compte tenu du fait qu'il ne pourra pas se doucher. L'électricité ne fonctionne pas bien et toutes les nuits nous avons été réveillés par les BIP du générateur que...

« 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....

« This property was a great location in the city center with good transportation, all around. Enough room for a family of five in great amenities. Only downfall we visited in June when it was very hot and after a very long day of sightseeing, the boat was extremely hot with no air movement. Something to consider if visiting during a hot time I think if we visited during cooler days, it would’ve been perfect. »

« The accommodation was nice, but the service was not. The accommodation is very conveniently located, clean, and has plenty of shopping options nearby. The kitchen is simple but adequate. The mattresses in the double bed, however, are a disaster! Very cheap, worn, and saggy; they should have been replaced years ago. A disgrace for the price. We considered sleeping on the floor. One of us ended up sleeping on the sofa. The service provided by the landlord was not perfect. Upon arrival, the...
