Mole Valley : Bateaux-maisons

« Great stay! Listing is accurate, plenty of room for 7 people. »

« 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...

« We really enjoyed our stay in this very unique accommodation.The boat is moored in a second-row position in a charming neighborhood and is close to several метро stations. It’s long and narrow, full of character, and well equipped.We had a bit of trouble getting the hot water and heating to work at first, so the first morning was a little complicated. However, the owner was extremely responsive when we called for help and came shortly after to assist us, very kindly.The bedding is...

« 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 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...

« 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....

« The four magical days we spent on Jessie are a memory we will cherish, and talk about forever. We often treat holiday accomodation as somewhere we recharge when we are not having an experience, but quite honestly, getting back on board was always a highlight of the day, and a fantastic experience in itself. Swans, ducks, geese all coming up to the window to be fed was just idyllic. Canal boats with brass bands and choirs may have just been coincidence on the nights we were there but just added...
