We had the most magical stay at the Boathouse over the Easter Weekend. It was our daughter's wedding and we needed a large London base for all of the family that was also wheelchair accessible. We'd had a sneak preview of the Boathouse a couple of weeks previously as Philippe had been so kind to allow us to pop in and look around in advance which really helped with planning our stay. He was also amazingly patient with all the questions we posed ahead of our visit as I needed to understand the layout of the apartment so could plan who slept where.
We travelled up a couple of days before the wedding and unfortunately were badly delayed in traffic but Philippe was so gracious and kind, keeping totally calm despite needing to catch a train. In the end he had to quickly make alternative arrangements for us to get access and we didn't get around to seeing him for the hand over.
The house is in the most perfect area and is well located for everything Islington has to offer. It also felt very secure and safe. The huge living space worked well for our family and as our son is a wheelchair user, the stair lift was essential to enable him to join us. The large wet room on the ground floor was very useful for him too.
Our daughter spent her last night as a singleton in the romantic setting of the top floor and said how fabulously cosy it was.
Philippe was very thoughtful too and left us a bottle of champagne which we enjoyed with our daughter as we prepared to leave for the wedding venue.
Thank you Philippe for everything and we were only sorry we didn't get to see you. We sincerely hope we can stay at the Boathouse again in the future. x
