Houseboats in Merton

"Great fun to be in the middle of London and yet be "off grid". LV is a delightful suburb too."

"This place was amazing. If you are looking for a cosy, unique, super cool place to stay this is the place for you. We loved it and want to return on our next trip. The communication was great, boat had everything you needed for your stay and was very comfortable (even the pull out couch bed). Fair warning the water pressure is low but the shower temperature was perfect. Can’t wait to go back and hope they add the their fleet. "

"On first impression, the Matrix is beautiful. It has lovely gathering spaces and is in a gorgeous setting in the marina. It was peaceful and relaxing EXCEPT there was no hot water for 3 out of 5 days of our stay and no one available to fix the issue over the weekend. The only means of communication was via email and sometimes it would be hours before we received a response. This was extremely stressful not being able to talk with a person, not receiving timely information nor to be provided with...

"Cancelled on us so we didn’t get to stay so I can’t review"

"This is a fun place to stay in so much as my room had a massive outside area, the bed was great and I could look out over the water to watch the fun of Canary Wharf Its very very basic. I had no shower gel etc in the shower, the toilet is a marine toilet, no water offered (or available) so needed me to visit a local shop. Its near all the bars so quite noisy. I'd stay there again but not for that price. Its too expensive for what it is. "

"Easily the best place I have ever stayed. Lovely location, so relaxing and quiet. Host was extremely accomodating and easy to communicate with. Wish I could have stayed longer, and will be back at next available opportunity. 5+stars!"

"We weren't sure what to expect as we've never stayed on a boat before but we were all pleasantly surprised. Check-in process was easy, we had great communication with the host and Sara met us at the entrance of the docks to show us everything we needed to know regarding the in/out procedure with the dock and anything else regarding the boat. There are two bedrooms, each one on opposite sides of the boat. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other has two twin beds with a smaller bed between them...

"What a lovely “out of the box” experience for us Canadians. Slowly rocked to sleep under such a cozy comforter. Every neighbour we met with so friendly in the area. Lovely pub nearby. Highly recommend this boat and the experience with the owners. Thank you so much and we will back "

"Taggs Island is such an interesting little enclave close to London and unbeknownst to us before. Set in a small inlet off the Thames, the house is one of a group facing onto the water. Linda, the host, has very much personalised it and provides every comfort. Although an expensive add-on, highly recommend the hot tub, which is deep and relaxing. Only down-side to the situation and rather shattering the peace, is being on the Heathrow flightpath, which we hadn't thought about!"
