Houseboat holiday rentals in English Channel

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

Un endroit vraiment au calme et original. La cabane est spacieuse et bien équipé avec en plus une grande terrasse. Très bon accueil de Audrey et explications très claires ainsi qu’une flexibilité au top! Nous reviendrons.

C'est la deuxième fois que nous venons séjourner. Lieux très agréable, apaisant, très joli.

Un séjour enchanteur en famille ! Observer des animaux sauvages dans la brume matinale a été un moment magique, surtout pour notre enfant qui en garde des étoiles plein les yeux. La cabane est un véritable havre de paix, comme suspendue hors du temps, idéale pour se ressourcer. Avec les balades, les pistes cyclables à deux pas, et des lieux touristiques à seulement quelques minutes, l'emplacement est parfait pour combiner nature et découverte. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

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!

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.

Beautiful and relaxing stay with everything you need! Have already booked to stay again!

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.

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

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.

Unique experience in the heart of St Helier marina. - Quiet location - Pod and contents are brand new - Professional host, great communication

Great floating pod right in the middle of St Helier. It has all the facilities you could need for a stay with everything new a clean. Spent our breakfasts on the deck watching the boats come and go. Would highly recommend this place. Just note there is a small amount of movement seeing that you are floating on the water but very minimal.

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

Nous avons passé un super week-end sur la péniche de François. Tout est très fonctionnel, dans un cadre magnifique!

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!

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!

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.

Super séjour dans un cadre nature incroyable, au calme et complètement dépaysant. Le chalet sur pilotis est très cosy, on a adoré le bain nordique, la barque, le paddle… et notre chien a pu profiter à fond aussi grâce au terrain entièrement clôturé. On a même pu assister à la traite des vaches, un moment simple et authentique. Petit déjeuner offert, super bon, et l’hôte est vraiment adorable et accueillant. À moins de 30 min du Mont-Saint-Michel, c’est l’endroit parfait pour se ressourcer. On repart avec plein de bons souvenirs. Merci encore ! Nathan,

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.

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!
