Houseboat holiday rentals in English Channel

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

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.

This is our second time staying. Very nice, soothing, very pretty places.

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!

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.

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.

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

If you’re looking for a unique getaway with a welcoming host and a gorgeous setting, this is the place for you! From the moment we arrived, Linda, the host, greeted us with a smile and the wonderful surprise of a freshly baked loaf of bread, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel right at home. In fact, thoughtful is the watchword here, the houseboat was stocked with everything you could possibly need, the fridge was fully stocked with essentials like milk, butter, jams, infused water, and Linda even had a selection of ice creams for us. The property itself is in a peaceful location, but still close to so many places, for example Hampton Court Palace is within walking distance. It was spotless and wonderfully maintained, the bed was huge and the attention to detail exceptional, even leaving duck feed for us to feed the ducks and Swans that swam up to our door. We didn’t use the Sauna but I highly recommend the Swedish Hot Tub, it made what was already a relaxing experience

We had a lovely, relaxing stay and would thoroughly recommend. A great place to unwind.

I’ve stayed at many Airbnb’s, but this was easily one of my favourite experiences. Not only was the boat cozy and the location beautiful, but David and Pyae were lovely, welcoming hosts. Their hospitality really went above and beyond. I felt right at home - having Pyae’s delicious Burmese food and playing cards with other guests. The room was so clean and well taken care of, as were all the amenities. Such a fun stay!

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.

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

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

A lovely spot to get some writing done, 2 minute walk from Tesco and about 15 minute walk from pubs etc. Very helpful staff at the end of the phone for anything you need. Thanks Keith and all!

We spent an exceptional day at Bertrand's on his magnificent barge. A timeless place that is totally different. Functional and clean barge, beautiful and quiet terrace. It was even more beautiful than in the photos! Nice host. Thank you Bertrand for allowing us to experience an unusual adventure! Looking forward to coming back one day... Samy, Sindy, Gabrielle, Christelle and Mickael.

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!

Lovely and quite very tranquil place spacious clean had everything we needed .lovely cafe on site with great food well stocked shop in village good pub food This was something different staying on a boat I can’t recommend it enough . Definitely would stay there again

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.

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,
