We loved the complementary breakfast. It was good, with choice and plenty in quantity. Really important when you have an entire walking day ahead of you. The hosts where charming and careful of our well being. The placement of the boat is great, quiet and the park around is quite charming. The boat is not that far from the tube, and if you wish to take the taxi boat it's just next door. Putney bridge is perfectly accessible by a short walk

    Fabulous! We had a lovely time on this, yacht in the marina, Mark met us at the gate and showed us around the boat. He's very friendly and helpful and the boat was very well kept. It's in a great location, lots of bars and restaurants very close by and Tower Bridge is just a few minutes walk away. Highly recommended!

    The houseboat has been renovated incredibly well and has everything you need for an extremely comfortable stay. The facilities inside the boat were perfect so that you could really settle in as if it was home. Everything was super clean, the bed was perfect and the person who greeted us was super friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone!

    Fantastically novel stay in central London. We are used to living on boats, yachts etc, and therefore found the nautical quirks of this converted fishing trawler to be normal. The space of both the two bedrooms and the lounge area made it so much better than any reasonably priced hotel could provide, and a perfect place to relax between visiting what London offers.. The location close to Battersea Power Station, and tube and river connections made it very easy to get to and from.

    Location was great! There was a free hotel boat over to Canary Wharf which you could then hop onto the Uber boats from and go pretty much anywhere in 20 minutes! Complimentary warm cookies on arrival was a nice touch. Room was air conditioned on arrival which was great in the heat. Clean room with a lovely bathroom. Nice and modern. Very comfortable stay. Even parking was easy and car park was never really full.
