Dorothy the houseboat has been finished to a very high standard, with sumptious double beds, comfy seating, pretty bathrooms (yes, plural!) and everything you could need in the kitchen. The woodburner was going when we arrived on a chilly Friday evening and the log supply was more generous than many I've experienced. The mooring is more private than you might expect so it was a proper escape, all within walking distance of public transport. Amazing!
Lindsey is a great host. Super-responsive to messages and friendly and generous in person. We were particularly struck by her thoughtfulness in keeping track of the temperature on the boat from her phone, it being February. We could not have been more comfortable and the location is very pretty. You don't have to be a civil engineering nerd to be massively impressed by the three bridges a short walk up the canal where the railway, canal and road overlap each other. A lovely place!
