Mark was incredibly accommodating with arrival and check out times! Gave many recommendations for the local area and was thorough in his informing us about the quirks and pleasantries of the Seacrest. We spent most of our time in London proper but breakfast and pubs were easy to find in Kew. Public transit made travel from the boat quite easy. Will be returning if we come back to London!

Cozy boat
The boat and location are lovely and quaint..moored across from a bird sanctuary within walking distance of Kew Gardens. It is a boat so be ready for the intimacy of the space. Mark was a very responsive host.

Classic Boat on the Thames
Mark provided everything we needed to have a great time on Seacrest. Plenty of food and coffee, guides, maps and books. There is plenty of room inside and wonderful views of wildlife out the panoramic windows. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Not as expected
The description of the boat was misleading. The sleeping cabins were difficult to get into, down a steep awkward ladder down below the galley. Nor did they mention that the composting toilet required each person to sit on it and it was not pleasant. Also the boat was not very clean and there were personal affects of the owner all over the kitchen and salon. The boat sits on mud when the tide is out. The gangplank to get on the boat was wobbly and dangerous.
The sheets were clean and we enjoyed the swans drifting by in the morning. The view was lovely. We left before the second night.
On it and was not pleasant. on the toilet and

A little bit of paradise on the Thames
I had been looking forward to this stay , and I was not disappointed. Seacrest is a 109 year old motor boat moored on the Thames at Kew Bridge. It was but a five minute walk along the river bank from Kew Bridge Station to the find Seacrest hidden behind an imposing brick wall. Mark welcomed me and showed me around the boat and its workings. When he left I was confident I could make everything work and I had a sense of nearby places. The rooms were delightful and the top deck room provided a great view of the Kew Bridge, the wildlife, the rowers, swimmers and other boats. One did not really need to leave, but if you did there were lovely pubs, shops and cafes all within a 5-15 minute walk. The amazing thing, was the silence. On the other side of the path were multi story apartments, busy roads and the like, but my view was the river and all It entailed. For those looking for something different, something to put your feet up, or just a great base to explore this side of London, than Seacrest may be just what you need.

Tribute to the tidal Thames
Six nights in a brilliant location, watching the ever-changing Thames as the tides rise and fall, providing an array of incredible birdlife. The boat is a little quirky, but cosy and comfortable - a little agility is needed to move between decks, but nothing daunting.
Mark’s welcome and introduction left nothing wanting, and communication before and during our stay was first rate.
All up.. magical!! Thanks, Mark.

An experience.
While the boat is very old, and the scenery is gorgeous, we did find the beds very hard to sleep on. If you want total comfort, move along.
Glad we stayed there though. I was very close to trains, stores and pubs.

Quirky and different. A unique experience in the old boat.
Ease of entry on arrival super. Host amazingly accommodating and came out late at night to tell us about all the idiosyncracies of his beloved boat.
It was cosy and perfectly located on lovely view of river. Beds clean and comfortable although a little short. It really had everything we needed for a short stay.

Hébergement atypique et expérimental.
Compter quand même environ 50 minutes par les transports en commun pour arriver au centre de Londres.
Le cadre est plutôt agréable, naturel et calme,en profitant des marées de la Tamise ( et oui !) et des oiseaux, canards , aigrettes aux marches du Seacrest. Belle expérience !
Notre hôte, Mark, n'est pas avare d'explications. Petite precision pour vivre à bord : ne pas être très grand ni gros ni....handicapé , l'escalier pour accéder aux chambres et sanitaires est étroit et bas ( attention aux têtes !!! Sinon expérience que nous ne regrettons pas.

Fantastic location
The location is great for ease of getting around . A few minutes walk to Kew Bridge station. Ideal for lovers of birds as opposite a nature reserve on The Thames.
The beds were clean and surprisingly comfortable. I did find it strange that the owner leaves so many personal belongings around the boat when renting out which made it feel cluttered.

Charming, Cozy, Unique, Lovely!
We absolutely loved our stay aboard MV Seacrest. Mark is a great host who was wonderful about communicating before and during our stay. He greeted us aboard on our first day, gave us a tour of the boat and explained some of the rules and things about our stay so check in was so easy. Seacrest is definitely a unique place to stay, but if you know going in that you’re staying on a 100+ year old ship and not a luxury cruise mega boat, you will have a fantastic stay. Yes, the boat is cozy and a little tight, but the location is fantastic, and the views are spectacular. Seeing the tide coming in and out, and the wildlife that came with it too was quite the site! And it was very easy to get around with public transit options galore nearby. There are several lovely pubs right nearby, as well as just about anything you might need with the shops in the area. We loved the Express Tavern and the Bell & Crown (just a short walk up the Thames Path toward Chiswick). After reading some of the more negative reviews when booking, I was the tiniest bit nervous. But after our stay - if you go in with the right mindset it will be a fantastic stay! And have zero concerns about the composting toilet - so simple. We really had a lovely time aboard Seacrest and it made our trip to London so special. I can’t wait to come back!

Great, fun stay
The boat was a great, fun stay in London. A few minutes walk from Kew bridge station and the buses to get around London, yet lovely and quiet. Perfect to be able to walk across the bridge into Kew. Delightful to wake up to see the birds on the river and watch the rowers practising. The rooms are snug, cosy and warm in winter but easy to open up windows to catch a breeze in summer. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom and shower are great. The kitchen is compact but all you need to make a meal. The owner leaves alot of bits and pieces too so there is always salt, oil, milk etc. completely recommend for an unusual and fun stay in London.

Unimpressed
Dirty unsafe houseboat. Houseboat rentals must be inspected for safety. This houseboat should not be rented.
The ramp rocked side to side when walking on it and at higher tides you had to duck powerless when boarding or exiting the boat.
The boat leaked in several places, the kitchen was cluttered with greasy condiments and containers, the smell of mold and diesel was prevalent throughout the boat and almost every surface was cluttered with too many personal items which left no space for visitors items, without mixing them up with the hosts. It felt like we were visiting an “eccentric” bachelor uncle
The only plus side was the great location.

Séjour bateau Kew Bridge
Bel emplacement, au calme, loin du bruit du centre de Londres.Station de bus à 5 mn à pied. Attention il faut compter 1 heure en transport en commun pour atteindre les quartiers emblématiques.
Propriétaires sympathiques et disponibles.Cet hébergement sur l'eau est insolite, il nous offre un cadre reposant avec une magnifique vue sur la Tamise. Par ailleurs, le bateau mériterait un petit coup de neuf et de propreté, mais nous avons passé un bon séjour.

Do your research
This property is very small with ceilings under 5’10, we could not stay there at all. My husband is 6’2 and could not stand up straight without getting a concussion. The property owner was a lovely man, but I was ver disappointed with the description of the houseboat as a lot of information was absent and we could not get a refund. It was a sad start to our vacation.

We really enjoyed the boat and the area, was a peaceful and quiet space, especially after spending time in Central London. Transit made it very easy to go anywhere. Close to Kew Gardens, can walk to the Elizabeth Gate. A boat may not be for everyone, but we loved how unique it was and all the birds nearby. Mark was very helpful and accommodating as well.

We had an absolutely delightful time aboard Seacrest. We lived aboard many years ago and this brought back many wonderful memories of living aboard. The location was perfect for us; easy access to any part of London on public transport, at least half the fun of the trip. The wildlife and the rowers were constant entertainment.
