Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The boathouse definitely has the wow factor from the moment you step aboard. Its decor is impressive but also comfortable and the whole boat is supringly spacious. Once all the blinds are closed you feel the beauty of how private booking here is, which is odd when you are so central to everything. There's lovely little touches like pillow mist, reed diffusers and bath salts which makes it feel more luxurious. It was a lovely experience to stay on a boat hotel, we did only have one night and two would have been lovely as the weather meant we couldn't really sit outside but that can't be helped.
Negative: The need to confirm arrival time, while I understand someone being there to greet you is nice, it felt like I was having to juggle the tube while text about arrival when a key lock and code and written instructions would have been our preferred method. Although it has a wow factor, after a little you notice a few places where cleaning has been neglected, the roller blinds are dirty, cobwebs in the bathroom with dead spider and another with bugs, dust on the ceiling vents, mugs that need a descale and mould in corner of the shower kind of took the rating down slightly. None of that however made our stay uncomfortable, I just would have expected higher standard for what we paid. The water system is noisy, but, again didnt make the stay uncomfortable and I guess you expect it on a boat. There were a lot of renovation going on with the pontoon with didn't give a great view out the windows but work needs doing and I understand that, would have preferred it not on our stay though of course!
Summary: Lovely experience
