Beautiful sanctuary in the heart of Paddington Merchant's Square. A unique stay and a beautiful space - I will be back!

This was a very unique and great experience. The boat is cozy and safe and very well appointed. We felt like we were in a luxury hotel. But up on deck we instantly became a part of a modern little area with high-rise buildings. It was a truly unique experience and well worth the price. With the little floating park next to it, this would be an amazing place to hold an event. Our host was so kind and took the time to show us around (by phone). There are a couple minor unique things because this is a boat, but almost no extra effort. I'd stay here again for sure.

The boathouse was spacious, beautiful, and the finishings were comfortable and functional down to the smallest details. It was such a delightfully unique space and in a prime location very close to the rail station, shops and restaurants. Communication was clear and the entry process was super easy. We are so glad we chose to stay here and highly recommend it to others looking for a fun, yet cozy, space to stay in London.

Really unique experience to stay on a canal boat that is extremely well furnished and close to some great dining options (and Heathrow Express from Paddington station).

Excellent accommodation and great location - if privacy isn't a priority.
