Staying on Jessie was highlight of our trip. There was everything we needed on the boat. It was an extremely peaceful place to return to after a busy and crowded day sightseeing. No noise! The boat is in a very lovely neighbourhood, 3 mins walk from tube station or 10 mins from Heathrow Express.
The boat is an adventure in itself. Meg explained how it all worked, (water and power). One must be mindful to remember all this, like turning the engine on to charge the batteries etc. We were a family of 4 and it was great for us. I would not recommend it for high energy children who really need to run around as it is a confined space, but mine loved it, because it was special. This is not your average hotel room with super sized bed, shower and aircon and that's part of the adventure. My husband suffered mild seasickness so this needs to be considered by individuals, even though I couldn't feel the movement. The light in the mornings and evenings was special and it was great to sit outside rugged up and have coffee or wine. We loved watching the birds too. One needs to be organised in a smaller space like this, but that is not too hard and it was worth it.
