Comfy Canal Boat in Little Venice for Family & Friends

Why not experience a bit of UK boating culture whilst enjoying London's top landmarks - right in the city centre?

Your cosy canal boat sleeps 6 in 2 double bedrooms & 2 double-bed sofas. The kitchen, bathroom & decks have everything you need - and ask us about a 1-hour private tour right on your boat.

Located along the Grand Union waterway in central London we're only 20-30 mins to the city's most famous sites - so come enjoy a unique experience & lovely sleep on your canal boat!

The Space:
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-beds to comfortably sleep 6 adults.

The boat's stern has an open-air 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.

The boat moors on the Grand Union canal near Little Venice and the short route to her exact location along the easy-to-access towpath will be provided after booking.

And if the weather plays its part, we might be able to provide a 1 hour private tour via the bird sanctuary island, narrowboat village, Regent's Park, London Zoo into Camden market.

The eco-centric canal boat runs on solar power with new energy efficient powerbanks available for full electricity and to charge all your phones, laptops and LED lights throughout the boat.

We think you'll 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 more memorable break in central London.

Canal boat disappointing
As a sailboat enthusiast I thought a canal boat would be a wonderful place to stay on our trip. The canal boat in the picture depicts a pristine scene rather than our reality where both sides of the canal were jammed packed with boats rafted to each other. Many canoes and other water vehicles were propelled noisily between the boats. This canal boat looked fabulous in the pictures but was much less inviting when on board. The kitchen lacked a refrigerator. The bathroom had a port-a-potty. There was no Wi-Fi. The canal boat was not charming quite a disappointment for the money.

A fun experience!
We enjoyed our stay and it was my 3 year old's favorite part of the trip. It did take some time getting used to the rocking, the toilet process, and cold showers but it was fun and we all look back saying "we had a great time together". Neighborhood was cool!

Fabulous experience
Loved our stay on this barge. Thomas was a great host. I’m not very techno minded, it would have been helpful if there was a copy of all instructions on the boat. Other than that perfect. We even had a tour on the canal to Camden, perfection in its self. X

Lovely Canal Boat Stay
The overall experience of staying on the boat was great! Everything was nice and clean. The beds were VERY comfy! The host was very communicative with everything since there were a lot of bits to staying here. The host also took us for a ride down the canal and it was wonderful!! Highly recommend this VRBO.

Annonce incomplète
L'emplacement est top et la communication avec l'hôte est facile. Cependant il n'est pas précisé dans l'annonce que la péniche est amarrée avec une autre péniche, les fenêtres donnent sur l'intérieur de l'autre péniche. Il n'y a de l'eau chaude que pour deux petites douches. Le supplément payé pour une 5ème personne est très élevé compte tenu du fait qu'il ne pourra pas se doucher. L'électricité ne fonctionne pas bien et toutes les nuits nous avons été réveillés par les BIP du générateur que nous avons du éteindre.

cosy boat
We enjoyed staying in the cosy houseboat a lot! Very special place and great host! Very easy and quick communication with the host - thanks TJ! Less space than we thought looking to the pictures (where you never see the corridor next to the beds), and cold water in the shower in the first morning. TJ helped out though. All in all enjoyable! Thanks!

Wonderful Stay!
Eine ganz großartige, außergewöhnliche Form, in London zu wohnen. Sehr zentral gelegenes, hübsches Boot mit einem extrem netten Vermieter, der uns sogar eine Stunde lang mit dem Boot über den Kanal geschippert hat. Ganz großartiges Erlebnis. Gerne wieder.
