2BR Heated Yacht, Lymington Centre, Beautiful View
A very special experience, with great communication and responsiveness with any questions we had.

les songes de steph floating cabin – 2/4 pers
A really quiet and original place. The cabin is spacious and well equipped with a large terrace. Very good hosting by Audrey and very clear explanations as well as excellent flexibility! We'll be there again.

Floating cabin in Picardy
This is our second time staying. Very nice, soothing, very pretty places.

floating cabin I'm not a morning person 4–6 people
An enchanting family stay! Observing wild animals in the morning mist was a magical moment, especially for our child who keeps stars full of their eyes. The cabin is a haven of peace, like hanging out of time, ideal for relaxing. With walks, bike paths a stone's throw away, and sightseeing spots just minutes away, the location is perfect for combining nature and discovery. We'll be happy to go back!

Waterlodge 2
We had a wonderful 4 night stay on Water Lodge. A fabulous base for exploring the Isle of Wight. We all slept amazingly well and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay for a family of four. Thank you Yarmouth Harbour!

Comfy bedroom in a quirky houseboat
We had a great stay with Gail and Dave. They are very friendly and accommodating, especially as we turned, a bit dusty from a days cycling around the island. We would highly recommend their quirky room if you’re in the area.

Floating Marine Lodge
We were lucky to have a sunny weekend which meant we could take full advantage of the deck area.

NEW! Houseboat Nautigal - floating fun!
Really lovely place, bigger than it looks on the photos. It was a pleasure to sit by open doors on the comfy chair & watch the water. We also borrowed a chair from the garden to sit on the balcony. We loved how quiet it was. The front garden is attractive and private. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking utensils & a huge fridge/freezer. Be aware the that the beautiful glass walls means the neighbour might accidentally see you dressing - remember to close the electric blinds first! As described, the house does creak a little when the tides change, but it wasn't for long and added to the thrill of living somewhere different. We were visited by a swan & ducks each day & enjoyed feeding them a few handfuls of the pellets provided. I found a route to Woodside beach, approx 20-ish mins walk from house, be aware it's hilly. The tide was high so I only saw pebbles, don't know if there's sand low tide. Jenny was very helpful & responded quickly to our questions.

Floating Marine Lodge
We had a great stay, lodges ideal for a few days getaway. Beautiful location

Floating Marine Lodge
Great weekend and lovely place to stay, just wish we could have stayed longer!

Riverbank Retreat, a cosy cabin on the waterfront.
Had a really great time. Cabin was brilliant, had everything we needed for our stay and Elise was really helpful and friendly when we checked in with showing us around and giving lots of information about the local area.

Inspiring Views & Place With Free Parking By Beach
Pam & Stacey. Just wanted to say what a lovely stay we had. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the inspiration is fantastic. Being a water baby and living in the city is draining for the soul, I adore being by the water but actually staying ON THE WATER is a new one for me and I cannot wait to come back!! We’ve seen dolphins, seals, jellies, birds, had the most beautiful fresh fish and enjoyed Brixham and all its scenery. We’l see you again soon!! Kelly & Sav xx

Houseboat
We had a great weekend on François' barge. Everything is very functional, in a beautiful setting!

The Arks Sea Breeze
What a BEAUTIFUL place to stay! We stayed at Sea Breeze for my partners birthday for a mini getaway. And we could not fault a thing! The place is just stunning and in such a unique location. We loved staying here and would definitely book again and recommend to friends. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

Serene Waterlodge 2 bed houseboat in quiet harbour
A wonderful houseboat, so well planned , on a so small area we could stay five of us, but I think maybe four would be more convenient. It’s so beautiful to sit on the rooftop and have a drink and watch the sun go down. Soon the restaurant on front of the house boat will open as it’s a new owner and fully renovated!

Bembridge Houseboat "Eleuthera"
Myself and my dad along with my two cockapoos had a lovely stay. You can tell a lot of thought had gone into making sure you have a comfortable stay. Charlotte was extremely helpful and answered any questions I had promptly.

Finnish Chalet on Stilts
Great stay in an incredible natural setting, quiet and completely exotic. The chalet on stilts is very cozy, we loved the Nordic bath, the boat, the paddleboard... and our dog was able to enjoy it to the fullest thanks to the fully fenced land. We even got to see the milking of the cows, a simple and authentic moment. Complimentary breakfast, super good, and the host is really sweet and welcoming. Less than 30 minutes from Mont-Saint-Michel, it is the perfect place to relax. We leave with lots of good memories. Thanks again! Nathan,

Historic houseboat. Sauna, parking. Beach 200m
Wonderful place to stay, just as described, such delightful character and surprisingly large. Its located alongside many other houseboats that makes for interest (one was featured on Grand Designs!). Lovely walk from the houseboat into Shoreham past the other houseboats and over a (glass sided) pedestrain bridge. Beds were really comfy, as were the sofas. The projector and large electronic pull-down screen were great. There were really good instructions for this, as well as for the sauna. Lots of extras made it a perfect stay, such as the binoculars, as well a basket of 'goodies'. Julia provided some great proactive local suggestions and was very responsive when needed. Hope we get a chance for another stay and would not hesitate to visit again.

Luxury house boat & exclusive bath house
Our stay at the Blackbird Boat was wonderful. It’s such a unique way to spend time in a truly beautiful and peaceful place. We stayed over a few drizzly days but the boat was really cosy with the sound of rain and the bath house was such a treat - watching the sun set over the lake whilst soaking in the tub was the epitome of luxury! The kitchen was really well appointed for cooking our own meals and everything was comfy and clean. There are some beautiful locations for walking all within a reasonable driving distance as well as some nice towns nearby for day trips or meals out. Highly recommend!
