Great location but not for anyone with mobility issues
The location of the boat is great with easy access to Hampton Wick and Richmond. Thirty minute train ride into London and close to Hampton Court Palace.
Access on to the boat is not easy and could be impossible if you have mobility issues or are of a large build.
Another thing that we found strange was that you are not allowed to put toilet paper down the toilet.
Probably would not use again...

Lovely cozy boat
It was amazing to see how everything fitted in a small boat. My son was excited to see the space. It was warm and the beds were comfy. We love to see the swans visiting and rower practicing while having breakfast outdoor.

21st Birthday Celebration Boat House Break!
We had an amazing few days in lovely Kingston on the cute and cozy house boat, 'Arnold'. The weather was far better than expected, which made for a more than fantastic stay. Returned home relaxed and rested. Would recommend!

Great boat in a nice little town
Highly recommended. Nice and quiet, comfortable and very close to pubs and food, and a short walk across the bridge to a bigger town. Monica was very helpful and great to communicate with. Thanks Monica
