    I wanted to make my little one smile, and oh my gosh did we both. The property internally especially was beautifully finished and presented. The host had gone above and beyond with attention to detail to make your stay so memorable. We were sad...

    It was a home from home , very comfy . I loved the wheelhouse space especially in the morning and evening . It gave us an insight into life on the water.

    We had a very comfortable stay on the barge. It is quirky but we enjoyed it a change from a hotel. The barge is very well equipped and the shower is amazing. I inadvertently left something which the owners very kindly posted to me.

    What a stunning place to stay. Very quirky and homely. Everything you will ever need is there for you to use. Kept to a very high standard with lots of thought for what people staying would need
