    What a wonderfully unique experience, so glad to have the opportunity. The location is nice and quiet, for city life. The boat was everything you could expect and ask for in a canal boat.

    Super séjour. Une première fois pour nous dans un bateau en famille avec deux enfants. Petite péniche pleine de charme. Localisation parfaite. Après une journée pour prendre ses marques, séjourner en péniche s'avère conviviale et agreable. Notre...

Property info

Our canal boat is ideal for a couple, large family or group of friends visiting London to see its most famous landmarks. It offers a bright open-plan kitchen and lounge, full bathroom, 2 cosy bedrooms and 2 double-bed sofas to sleep up to 6 guests. The boat's stern has a comfortable deck allowing for early sunrise breakfasts or relaxing dinners under the stars - or lets guests have a relaxing cup of tea whilst watching ducks and swans feeding in the canal. A few considerations for your (more eco-conscious) stay on a canal boat: 1. Constant cruising - The canal boat moors along the Grand Union canal and her exact location along the easy-to-access towpath will be provided after booking 2. Heating - for cool London evenings we offer an energy-efficient ethanol heater as an alternative to a wood or coal-burning stove 3. Power Bank accelerator - the canal boat runs on solar power so excellent power banks are on standby to help charge phones, laptops and LED lights throughout the boat. You may find staying on our canal boat a more interesting and unusual experience than your standard hotel or apartment - and our boat has what you need for a memorable break in central London.
