“What a lovely place! I rented the boat for one night after playing a show at Dingwalls (7 min on foot) and had one of the best sleeps of my life! The slight swaying of the boat and the sound of rain on the roof made for a very soothing experience....”

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE ARRIVING.. I am looking forward to welcoming you on my 40 foot narrow boat very soon :) I hope you will enjoy this unique OFFGRID experience. Please kindly note the following; *Boat is powered by solar panels, therefore the duration of electricity usage varies by the amount of sunlight on the day. *As this is an authentic boating experience, facilities are not to be compared to any hotel or land stays, a comparison would be to camping or caravan holidays.. Please bear this in mind when reviewing.. *To keep our waterways clean, we are using Casette toilets. You will be instructed to use this in a right way. The casette needs to be taken out and replaced in stays over 2 days, therefore I will kindly ask you to evacuate the boat for 2 hours on the 3rd day. *As the boat is moored on water and under trees, basically in nature, part of nature can and will enter our lifes(incl spiders, mosquitoes and many more) if any issue with cleanliness please do message me and I will be solving as much as possible without harming the wildlife. *Pivot 1-the boat is powered by solar panels, so the usage will depend on weather. 2-Hot water requires a 3 hours notice as the engine must be running to heat water 3-Usage of water is restricted due to size of the tank so a minimum amount needs to be used each day(10lt max and chargeable) 4-I would recommend to bring power banks in case of rainy days and low power as a result. I hope you are happy with all the aspects and can enjoy every minute of your stay :) See you very soon Liz Note: as the boat is fragile with electrical wires, special toilet and limited water tank capacity, there will be a deposit expected for those who are accompanied by children.

Camden market And London zoo are in few minutes walking distance. Central London with busses, tube and railways.
