It's great to wake up on the water with the odd duck paddling by. Although we were still in London town, it was such a nice change and of course everything we needed was in easy reach. The boat is a lovely place to be. If you are tall you won't be able to stand up fully, but there's a comfy sofa to sit on! Oh and the bed is incredibly comfortable. We'd come prepared with books to read, just in case, but it was too cold to stay on the boat. The gas heater didn't quite warm the space and Anna had told us the big stove would be too much for a small space, so when we returned at night we wrapped up in the spare blankets she had provided, and we were fine. To be fair we didn't spend much time on the boat because we were out visiting places anyway. The canal path was pleasant for a stroll. We had everything we needed and loved being there. Communication was straightforward and it all went smoothly. Would definitely recommend.
