Wonderful stay

What an absolute gem. Such a remarkable couple who own the accommodation. So very friendly and helpful. Lots of history about the actual accommodation within the room, which gives the stay an added dimension. The room was very comfortable and clean. We would recommend. We had a lovely few days.

Glorious location and super cute accommodation. Only negative is that two of the three rooms are up very narrow steep steps (it’s a boat!) and the car park is 100m away so not easy to get to if you’ve limited mobility. But if that’s not an issue for you, 100% recommend!!

On one the hottest days of the year there was a welcoming breeze lovely sitting on the deck with a cool drink watching the wildlife and sunset amazing only wished we could have stayed longer we will be back to explore Rochester thanks Kathy and Anthony

Lovely stay with children who loved the boat. Nice walk into town too

Lovely place to stay

Really clean room and bathroom. Lovely views

I loved it. Really lovely room in a lovely location

Excellent quirky B&B with all the essentials. Very highly recommended.

The whole property was spotless and had everything we needed

lovely location view and friendly check in

An extraordinary experience to live in a historical boat which was built in 1839.

Very nice stay on this lovely boat! My parents had one of the double rooms and myself and the kids had the apartment. We were made very welcome by the owners. The boat was well equipped and beautifully decorated. The kids also loved that there was a basketball hoop & football goal they could use. Everyone was happy.

Delightful and unique stay and great setting for visiting the surrounding area. you can visit Hever castle, Rochester, Reculver fort and Canterbury Marlowe theatre. Hosts very helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend

It was really very nice, thank you very much

A lovely place to stay,great views looking down Medway,can be a bit noisy from motorway bridge nearby,really needs to offer breakfast as its not cheap just for a bed but staying on an old boat looking down the Medway and Rochester makes the price more bearable.

I know the area really well, as I used to live nearby. The surrounding area doesn’t have a great deal to do, but if you have a car there’s plenty of choice within a few miles. I was visiting my mother, and wasn’t looking for entertainment. Fancied staying on a boat, which was good Amazing river views, especially the first night as it was 33c and beautiful to sit outside on the deck area. .

The houseboat is located in a marina which looks a bit rundown, a car is absolutely necessary to go to Rochester or any other nearby village. The owners have been renovating the property for the past few years and indeed our room was nicely decorated and clean. Unfortunately though the boathouse is located next to a highway bridge and the noise is just unbearable. We booked our room in November 2024 for a stay in July 2025 on a B&B basis. At our greatest surprise we were told that they no longer serve breakfast but that they would get back to us after our departure to agree on a partial refund. They never did. We contacted Hotels.com and instead of helping out they simply said they could not get hold of the owners… So we ended up paying 135€ for a one night stay without breakfast (extremely expensive for a room only rate) and had to go to Rochester and pay an additional 23£ to have breakfast! That was deeply disappointing. If the owners had decided to no longer serve breakfast they should have informed Hotels.com and the incoming customers and have the latter decide whether they wanted to keep their reservation. As simple as that. Hospitality is after all a profession…

Surrounding wasn't that great but its a working harbor, beautiful boat. Quite and chilled if we are down that way we will definitely go back.

Absolutely amazing and unique stay, the view, the comfort and the history of the ship were all genuinely wonderful. We arrived on the hottest day of the year so far and the lovely hosts kindly ungraded us to the much larger self catering accommodation as this was much cooler and was much appreciated! Everything was just amazing!
