"A lovely 2 bed house boat on a quiet marina with an excellent pub very nearby. All amenities provided. Nice area to have a drink on top of the boat and watch nature. Very clean and comfortable.

9. Cosy Canal Boat in Little Venice for Family & Friends

"We had a peaceful, lovely stay. Little Venice is an easy walk from Paddington Station, while also being a world in itself. The boat is cozy with a nice seating area near the entrance, a very workable kitchen, and room outside for two or three to enjoy drinks or a meal. It is a treat to see swans and other water birds out the windows. Rather than run the engine for hot water, we used the stove to warm up water for personal hygiene.

Top England Hotel Reviews

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

8/10 Good

"Nice location could use a room upgrade"

Hotel Riu Plaza London Victoria

10/10 Excellent

"I was always looking forward to breakfast. Excellent food and variety. It was nice having a ticket machine where we ended up booking a live show Wicked at the Apollo theatre. The location was ideal, very close to Victoria station and numerous restaurants and small grocery stores. Would book there again. The staff were all friendly and helpful! Thank you"

Bluedaws Private Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really good budget hotel in a central area with lots of amenities. The staff are super friendly and make you feel very welcome. There is the added bonus of a cooked breakfast of bacon and eggs. The rooms are basic but perfectly adequate for a short stay. The communal bathroom is kept very clean and the shower is good with plenty of hot water. I would definately stay here again."
