Boat holiday rentals in Berkshire

Our family of 3 loved staying in the houseboat. It was a great hideaway in the middle of the city. The boat was even larger than we expected and very comfortable.

Booked for working in area so great fun

We had a lovely weekend on Calypso to celebrate a birthday and attend the Boat Show. Poole harbour is beautiful and there is all you need ( Tesco, restaurants etc) within a few mins walk of the boat. The boat is large and we were very warm and comfortable. Certainly a different experience for us.

A very special experience, with great communication and responsiveness with any questions we had.

Hello, We were two adults ans two kids and there was plenty of room to accommodate us 4. We had a great stay and a warm welcome. The location is great in Little Venice. Of course, if you go for this type of accommodation you know it will be somewhat different and exciting and this is exactly what you’ll get. Brushing your teeth with geese and ducks passing by - you can’t beat that.

Unique stay right in the heart of Portsmouth. It’s a boat, I had the best nights sleep I’ve had in ages being gently bobbed about. It had everything you needed for an overnight stay. Timothy was very though with his communications which made it easy to check in even when we arrived late in the evening. The marina is secured and manned, and helpfully they have trolleys, so I’d suggest going and checking out the marina first, grabbing a trolley and taking it back to the gunwharf quays carpark, much easier than lugging cases/holdalls about. Speaking of the carpark you can park right next to quays, and if you take your ticket to the parking attendant you can get a discounted rate of £4.70 for 24 hours. Perfect for a unique experience stay. Not gonna lie, kinda want a boat now.

This is a great place to stay if you are looking for something really different and unique. We stayed 1 night to celebrate my partner's birthday, the location is beautiful and there is a lovely scenic amble into the town where there are many places to eat and drink. A truly chilled vibe!

We had a lovely stay aboard Sea Wolf and would definitely recommend. A friendly host who made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend! Great location, lots of lovely walks and nice shops and pubs nearby. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Great overnight stay on Mischief, which was a treat for my husband’s birthday whilst attending the boat show. Kathy was available upon check in to show us around the boat. A quirky little stay, ideal for anyone who was looking for something alternative to the usual Airbnb & hotels. We had a great stay, thank you Kathy

Nancy, I had the best birthday on your beautiful boat. It was cosy and homely. What a wonderful location too; with Broadway Market on the doorstep with amazing food from all over the world. Couldn't of asked for me. After a little hiccup finding the boat, you were so responsive and helpful. Thank you for making my birthday so special. Hope to stay again soon x

We stayed on Nadine as a surprise for my husband's birthday, we wanted something different and that's exactly what we got. Communication, instructions and John's warm welcome gave us a positive start to our stay. We enjoyed some great hospitality at Cobbs cafe, we also hired a boat and explored Poole harbour. We are a group who enjoy walking and exploring, although we enjoyed the jacuzzi, we didn't spend much time on the boat other than to sleep. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is a generous size with a decent size fridge freezer. Thanks once again for the memorable weekend.

I met Gareth earlier to pick up the keys. I returned later that evening and had a fantastic evening, cooked myself some dinner and watched one of the DVD’s. This really is one of my favourite stays. If you’re looking for a boring hotel room then don’t stay here. If you’re looking for a fantastic cozy getaway then I would recommend this little Gem. Fantastic host and communication. Boat life is certainly for me.

We had a lovely stay on the barge—everything was peaceful and beautifully maintained. The host was friendly and quick to respond to any questions, which made our experience even more enjoyable. We’d happily stay again!

Excellent neighborhood and location and very easy public transport to all the things we wanted to do in London. Children loved the boat and very to close to restaurant options around Kew Green. Had such a lovely time!

I truly enjoyed staying aboard Dana- it was a real pleasure and I was very sad to leave. Even at 6 ft 4 in (1.9M) tall, I fit in the shower no problem, which is quite an accomplishment in general, not to mention on a boat. The galley was better appointed than most Airbnb kitchens on land, and though the docks are very quiet, there are plenty of good restaurants, pubs, and attractions in the neighborhood. Tower Hill is a very convenient tube stop. I found it to be a very charming vessel that really felt like home - I came alone on business, but really hope that I will be able to bring my family back. You definitely feel that many good memories have been made here and that it is well-loved and well cared for.

We spent the weekend on Harry's houseboat and collected wonderful memories. The place is very charming and has everything one needs for a good stay. We loved the experience itself and ultimately found it comfortable, plus, we enjoyed the surroundings, where there's a lot to explore. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking something off the beaten path! Harry is a great host and the communication was very friendly and easy.

Saul and Sarah's barge 'Flicka' is a fantastic place to stay in London, with the ferry to Central London right on the doorstep and the best way to travel and see the sights at the same time. Saul and Sarah are awesome hosts and wonderful chefs - the private dining experience they cooked and served for us on New Years Eve was truly amazing. A totally fabulous and unique experience!
