Croxley Green · 船 · 2室0床1.0卫 · 可住6人 · A unique stay aboard a beautiful boat
Reconnect with nature on this unforgettable escape. Our beautiful Narrowboat isn’t like an average hire boat, it’s full of homely touches to make your stay a memorable one. You can chill in a picturesque location or as we have a self-drive license you can cruise either north or south from our base in Croxley, Hertfordshire. South takes you down to London in a couple of days or North takes you up through some wonderful countryside towards Berkhamstead and Aylesbury. A holiday with a difference. For any Harry Potter fans, our boat has an awesome story... it was made for none other than Timothy Spall- AKA the cowardly wizard Peter Pettigrew!! A magical time awaits! 🧙🏻♂️ 🐀 It is a popular sized 58’ narrowboat with a lovely cruiser stern deck for entertaining and a front deck to chill in. There is a double cabin with a double bed, and a twin cabin with 2 singles. The lounge has a sofa which drops down into a bed. There are lots of windows and port holes letting light in, also 2 skylights and a lovely side hatch. All the curtains have blackout lining and the beds have good quality bedding so a good nights sleep is assured. There is a log burner with logs for a few fires, and also central heating. We have 3 coffee brewing methods and a full wine rack, the wine is mini bar style, just so you don’t have to run out, pay for what you use. We provide a welcome pack with milk, butter, tea and coffee, salt and pepper and oil etc. Free wifi and TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+. The bathroom has a flush toilet, basin and modern thermostatic shower.
One of the few Airbnbs to overwhelm rather than underwhelm! Jason’s narrow boat is beautiful and Jason is a superb host. He gave up his Saturday morning to take us up and down the canal, through a couple of locks; he turned the heating on remotely so we wouldn't be cold in the morning; he left tea, coffee, milk and prosecco for us; and was always available for any questions. The boat is very cosy and comfortable, a really special place to stay. We wish we could have stayed longer, but we will be back!
we had such a great time, couldn't recommend it enough. The boat is beautiful and super comfy with everything you need and loads of those extra details. We had no idea how to drive a narrowboat, but Jason has been so welcoming. He is a great teacher and won't let you down (he's been very patient). Also we were allowed to take our cat on the boat and for that we are very grateful!
If you are keen for a narrow boat holiday on the beautiful canals on England I cannot recommend Jason’s boat enough. We chose his boat as it was handy to the Harry Potter studio tour and was handy to London, as well as the unique and beautiful finishing on the boat. The boat had every luxury you need for a few days away from home. Jason spent a few hours with us making sure we were confident with the boat before sending us on our way north. He made recommendations for stops and checked in along our journey. We loved mooring up in a different location each night as well as stopping in towns/pubs for lunch along the way. The kids got involved and loved helping with the locks along the way. My Floating Holiday Uk was the best part of our 3 month trip to the UK. I cannot recommend it enough.
Staying on the Colleen Bawn is a unique experience and one which Jason makes special✨. He was incredibly kind and patient in explaining how to pilot the narrowboat and was easy to contact with any questions. The boating community have proved to be an unexpected bonus - everyone we met was really friendly and warm. It's so much better than just staying in an apartment in terms of experience and learning about other ways of life. Overall, Jason and his boat are excellent! 🤩
Our stay at this beautiful canal boat was incredible. We decided to stay here for something a little bit different than a standard hotel and we couldn't be happier that we did. It is a great location for visiting Harry Potter World. The host is extremely friendly and always very responsive if you have a question. We stayed with our 3 daughters 7 and 8 and they loved being on the boat, feeding the ducks and are already asking to go again. Thank you for a great stay.
We are based in Cassiobury Park, a Green Flag Park with 2 cafes, extensive playground and paddling areas and Woodland walks.
The boat can be moored in a lovely spot right in the heart of the park, or you can cruise on the boat after an hour of training when you arrive. There are some beautiful places to cruise through which we will show you when you arrive.
We are also a 20 minute walk from Watford Junction Station where there is a special bus service to Warner Brothers Studios for the Harry Potter exhibition.
