What customers say
A chill stay on well-equipped boats, with comfy beds and wildlife spotting a hit. Honesty bar's a bonus. Weak TV/phone signals noted, but decent WiFi near the cafe. Marina cafe hours confused one guest. Highly recommend for a peaceful escape.

Spirit of St Louis 1 bedroom marina berth, slip, mooring (pet friendly)
Liked Loved everything really. So peaceful on board. There was almost every amenity you could wish for to make it a relaxing stay. The signal for TV was weak but when we put a pair of my shoes against the aerial it worked fine. Phone signal bad but got decent wifi by cafe so again no problem.
Lovely sitting out listening and watching the wildlife, including swallows and a heron as well as the swans and ducks. Dogs allowed on the Spirit of St Louis too.
Disliked Having to go home

Liked Loved our stay here. The boat was very comfortable. Even in the extreme heat, we opened the back deck door and the front door and there was a lovely cool air flow through. The boat was really well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The honesty bar was a real bonus, we loved sitting out on the back deck with a glass of wine, watching the sunset and the swans float by. Had a great nights sleep in the lovely comfortable bed.
