Wow! What a host! What a boat! We were lucky enough to book Velvet Morning for 7 days during our first trip to London and I honestly can not say enough about how perfect and delightful it was.

Sam was amazing and has thought of every little detail to make your stay lovely. From the fresh jam, bread and eggs to thoughtful books and phone chargers. She really has thought of everything and you can feel the effort and consideration put into this special boat.

Sam checked in with us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed and even came over to replace the lock we accidentally dropped in the canal. Whoops! Needless to say, I was highly impressed and am already planning my return visit to London and Velvet Morning.

If you've never stayed on a canal boat, I say book immediately. It was the most delightful vacation of my life. Such a unique and fun experience, a million times better than any hotel room.

Special thank you to you, Sam, for sharing Velvet with us and being the absolute perfect host. Next time we come, let's plan sometime to hang out. I wish I could leave you more than 5 stars!!
