Narrow Boat moored in London

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is like glamping in the centre of everything - an easy walk from Kings Cross / St Pancras. There is a modern pub right across the canal and a movie theatre nearby. Also an interesting floating bookstore and the canal museum. Shops and other amenities are not far away. We loved having coffee on the deck in this lively, historic and quirky neighbourhood! Facilities on the boat are very good - a fireplace for warmth, a gas stove, coffee and French press. You can sit indoors or out. Check in was contactless and easy. Host was super responsive to our questions.

Just be aware there are steps down to the canal and then on the boat itself - it could be a challenge for someone with limited mobility. There is no wifi provided - altho you may find it nearby.

Accommodation was better than we could have hoped. Absolutely fantastic location, walking distance to nice bars and restaurants and really close to King’s Cross underground. Really cosy boat and had everything we could have needed. Very comfortable bed.

No mains power but this wasn’t a problem as we already knew to bring usb phone chargers that could be plugged into a 12v socket.

Loved the experience of being on a narrow boat and loved being able to walk along the canal to Camden and Regents Park and visiting Coal Drops Yard. Also found our host super friendly and easy to communicate with.

The noise from a building on the opposite side of the canal, maybe an air conditioning unit, but the hum of the motor went on all through the night.

It was clean. We were left water to drink.

4 power sockets for plugs, none had any power to them. Just one small USB point worked, not enough for 2 people for 2 days. Toilet pump handle missing and didn't seem to pump enough liquid to flush the toilet. Difficult to lock the door from inside. No tea towels to dry crockery, no checkout instructions, no recycling or bins nearby. Bed was slanted and uncomfortable. Area was very noisy with bars opposite and street drinkers on the canal bank near the boat. Also noisy tourists staying on ither boats.
