This place was amazing. If you are looking for a cosy, unique, super cool place to stay this is the place for you. We loved it and want to return on our next trip. The communication was great, boat had everything you needed for your stay and was very comfortable (even the pull out couch bed). Fair warning the water pressure is low but the shower temperature was perfect. Can’t wait to go back and hope they add the their fleet.

Concept was a good idea but the water system really sucked. Took 4 flushes just to get paper down. The shower only had scalding water so was impossible to take a shower for three days. You need a sign that says private boat as we had to tell people it was not part of the floating park. Very noisey at night also might check into rats around the boat it was just not enjoyable at all
What a great place to spend an evening! The Boathouse was a little gem that made our last night in London extra fun. The property worked well for 4 people including 2 teens. Everything was so well done and the check-in process was very easy. We had a lovely stay at the Boathouse and will definitely return!
Incredibly unique location that was perfect for a family of 4. A little busy during the day, but amazing to have the space in the park and square to yourself at night. Easy walk to Paddington Station and lots of restaurants nearby along the canal
This was so unique and nice. Easy enough to get to a tube station or hail a taxi. Was very comfortable and got hot from the heaters as well. We wished we stayed there longer. I wish there was more privacy for the bathroom and, I guess as would come with a boat, the plumbing is a bit cumbersome but it's all good and the bath was so nice!
My two young girls and I were visiting the UK from California. On our trip we had the pleasure of staying at some amazing 5 star venues and can I say, this Boathouse was the thing we were most excited about!...and it did not disappoint!
It's smack dab in the center of everything including several great restaurants. The boat itself was perfectly clean and well cared for with dreamy bedding, and lovely decor....and that tub!! WOWZA!
Raffaella and Cora were so lovely and accomodating. They really went of their way to make sure we were well taken care of. That meant a lot to me as someone who was traveling abroad by myself with young girls.
So I want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to The Boathouse in London. We will definitely be reurning whenever we're in town again and I plan to tell everyone I know about this lovely, unique place in the heart of London.
My partner and I or I should say my Fiancé and I had the best secluded overnight stay on the boat house! Great for couples however when staying we did see how amazing it would be if you stayed with friends or family. We were showed round at the beginning and if there were any problems then the book they provide had everything in there for a just in case matter. Also a couple of enjoyable additions which are for free, a couple of bikes and a small row boat. So many restaurants and bars near by and something that was quite special was the open air cinema which can be watched on land or by boat. All in all, stunning location especially at night and if you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a classy hen do, or a glamorous weekend away with family or friends then you’re on to a winner.

Super fun night to staying over. Once ould have a dinner alfresco on the roof with 12 people!
Quiet mooring close to Paddington station. Short cycle ride (bikes provided) to Little Venice. Plenty of eateries around the basin and supermarkets if you forget to bring the essentials (tea bags and shower gel for us!). A TV or radio would have been good as wi-fi not the best. Shame that the plants have lacked some tlc - I fear my watering of them was somewhat too late!
Unterkunft ist sicher einzigartig - man sitzt dadurch auf dem Präsentierteller, da es weit und breit das einzige Boot ist. Die Optik ist wunderbar - leider auch oberflächlich und wenig funktional (zB Fahrräder nicht fahrtauglich, Blumentöpfe bei Regen voll Wasser, auch Kissen). Technik wirkt selbst gebastelt.... die Wasserpumpe ist laut und erfordert Geduld, das beim Duschen, Baden und WC-Gang. Aus der Dusche kam 3 Tage nur kochend heißes Wasser, was uns den Urlaub richtig vermieste. Der Kühlschrank war so kalt, dass alles gefroren war, mussten Lebensmittel weg schmeissen.
