A newly refurbished & upgraded Horizon 35 cruiser benefiting from a new shower room, well equipped kitchen gas oven, heating, kettle, memory foam mattresses with electric under blanket to the double bedroom & heated throws in the single room & saloon for extra cosiness.

Hello, I'm Simon a local family and business man. Having travelled around the UK often having to stay over in some amazing but also many substandard and uninspiring accommodations, I wanted to create an option in my home city that was comfortable, practical and unique. New Horizon combines my love of the waterways and a passion for conveniently placed luxurious accommodation that goes above and beyond in terms of comfort.
The boat, New Horizon is moored just a 5 minute drive or a 15 minute walk from Chelmsford train station. It's a one minute walk from the city's Tesco superstore, Ninja Warrior UK and a 2 minute walk from Chelmsford's bustling bond street which is host to John Lewis, Everyman cinema, 2 art galleries, Foyles book store, Tiptree tea rooms & New Horizon's favourite recommendation for breakfast, Jamaica Blue. Also available Ask, Bills, Prezzo, Giggling Squid, Las Iguanas, Wagamama, Leon, Mowgli street food and more beyond.
