On board Barbara for a 5 night break moored at Little Venice we had the best sleeps in London we have ever had. Sam is a very considerate host and her narrowboat is a unique experience. It is difficult to drag yourself away from the boat to go and do other things. It is a tranquil haven to chill out after a day in the hustle and bustle of sightseeing in London which is minutes away but environmentally feels like miles. Beforehand we were unsure about a few things eg feeling vulnerable on the towpath at night and the canal water smelling, but there were no problems. Also, the canal birdlife is fascinating. The boat living quirks of battery power, water tanks and electric pumped loo and shower may not be for everyone but we loved it and we were sad to leave.......
