Perfect location very close to centre of Sandwich. Enjoyed being able to sit on deck for our meals enjoying the sun.

It would have been good to have some warning about the access to the boat, as climbing into it may not be suitable for the elderly and those with mobility issues.

We liked the location on the river Stour, very near to the centre with lovely cafes, restaurants and transport. It was fun to find little treats (including for the ducks), a well stocked fridge and the drink cabinets to which we could help ourselves, just leaving some money in "the honesty box". Jessie, the owner of the boat was very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the sense of adventure.

It was too short a stay. We'll be back.

Great location. Cool accommodation. Wonderful host.

Could do with a deep clean both inside and outside, but on the surface was fine.

It’s quirkiness. Location was excellent and we had everything on board that we needed.

Such fun!! Perfect little yacht in a perfect, peaceful location. 5 minute walk into a buzzing little town with bars, pubs, and every type of food you could possibly want. The owner is passionate about this little yacht and is super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be staying again. The “honesty” bar is a very nice thought. Oh…and the yacht labelled wine is really good too!!

There isn't really much. You have to learn a bit about how to use the facilities, take your own sleeping bags or bedding and learn how the electrical items are powered - that's more advice to others than a negative.

Amazing location on a cute little yacht - so beautiful and convenient for the centre of beautiful Sandwich. An unusual experience compared to staying in a hotel building with real charm and character. We really enjoyed it - it felt like more of a holiday. Everything you need is in this little yacht or in a shower block nearby. We slept well and it was wonderful to wake up on the river. You accept this is not a luxurious place but the bags of charm and personality more than make up for it. I would choose this boat above many hotels. It has a microwave in the small but perfectly formed kitchen area and the owners provided extra treats such as cereals, cereal bars beverages and mineral water plus it had a well stocked fridge with milk too. It gave me a little sense of adventure. Lovely stay.

We booked a last minute stay! It exceeded expectations, very cosy, very comfortable, honesty bar. Communication with the host Jessie was great. Location stunning, ducks, coots and a cherry on the wildlife cake a seal popped up next to the boat!

Nothing we didn't like!

Loved the cosy boat! Communication with Jessie was great, she answered all questions and recommended the Quayside bar&grill which we chose to eat in and would also highly recommend! We loved all the little touches in the boat - drinks, breakfast items etc. Great location for visiting Sandwich.

This property was amazing and amazing host. We had a lovely night and the generosity with food and drinks was unreal we didn’t expect it very cosy perfect for a couples get away

A lovely old boat full of rustic charm. Be realistic when you stay on this vessel with your expectations. If you'd like hot sleek showers and super king beds this probably isnt for you. But for a small sailing boat experience why not go for it! The host is charming and may even leave you some brandy if your lucky!

Nothing. We loved it.

We had a glorious stay on the gorgeous little boat. Think Glamping think cozy. It was such a little adventure. We chose to eat in both nights (pre prept food one night and take out the next) as we just loved spending time there. Perfect spot to explore the nearby coast with a difference. Jessie was great with information and correspondence. Highly recommended.

It needed a bit of a clean, I couldn't work out how to get the water running A little cluttered, but probably wonderful on a pleasant evening

Pleasant stay on the river, close to the town with free parking Would be lovely in the Spring/Summer

It was a little dirty but it really didn't matter.

Staying on the boat was a lot of fun, and it made the weekend more interesting. The sleeping areas were sufficient, and the breakfast items were thoughtful.

Bit difficult in the toilet because of cramped space and low ceiling.

We enjoyed our stay, first time on a small boat, a little cramped but was not really a problem. If the weather was better we could have stayed outside on the boat until late evening. The kitchen was well stocked with condiments, cereals and alcohol, although we did not take advantage of this. Cold drinks in the ref and an HONESTY BOX to drop some cash if you helped yourself to anything. We ran out of water but a call to Jessie, the owner, and he was over here in a jiffy to fill up the water tank.

Nothing it's a yacht

Secure FREE Parking. Picturesque BBQ area on riverbank. Location with Ducks Great Value My Thia Restaurant

Stayed in August 2024

An air fryer would be an ideal appliance to use for cooking, as well as an on-site shower. There is a £4 pay as you go shower, however, which is near the american gun boat, just the other side of the toll bridge.

From it's accessible and central location to on-site bar and restaurant, this boat provides a great on water stay which makes exploring Sandwich town a pleasure. Plenty of close on-site parking made unpacking and packing our bikes and paddleboards straight forward too. The boat had plenty provisions supplied by the owners, which was much appreciated, and a contribution was made to the honesty box. We intend on booking again in the near future. Sandwich is an excellent place to visit and the seal watching topped it off.
