Newsflash: the traditional canal boat holiday just got itself a chic and quirky makeover with Boutique Barges. Feed the ducks from your window over a freshly prepared breakfast, as you enjoy the naturally scenic views and unwind to the gently rhythmic sound of water lapping against the boat…with all the thrills and adventure of a London city life a mere stone’s throw away!
Boutique Barges’ Papillon is a luxurious barge moored in a carefully chosen location to ensure quick and easy access to London’s cultural and entertainment hubs. Papillon has been carefully refurbished and lovingly decorated with high-quality fixtures, antique décor and comfortably quirky touches, along with the latest in technology to make you feel truly at home on the waterway.
If all this isn’t enough, you’ll be provided with a plentiful breakfast basket, and you’ll also find fresh, fluffy towels and fine linens waiting for you on board – not forgetting plenty of thoughtfully selected luxe toiletries that mean you definitely won’t be abandoning ship anytime soon!
Beautifully designed and supremely comfy, the 55-foot narrow boat sleeps a maximum of five people on a raised master double bed and a sofa bed, with an extra mattress provided on request. She also boasts a gleaming stainless-steel kitchen with a Smeg gas oven and hob, while the living space features both an office space and a relaxing lounge area. Oh – and the bathroom has an indulgent walk-in wet room that you’ll never want to leave!
You’ll be kept warm and cosy even on colder days with your chosen vessel’s fuel stove…so batten down the hatches, huddle round and tell holiday stories along with a glass or two of something extra warming.
Whether you’re on a romantic break, a friend-filled getaway or a family adventure, keeping everybody entertained during your stay will be no problem at all, with your location proficiently chosen to take advantage of the very best London has to offer, with close public transport links that mean you can spend the entire day exploring, shopping and dining, then come back home to your water-haven to recharge over a well-deserved glass of wine.
So chart your course for Boutique Barges and plot your way to a versatile beacon of natural calm in the bustling city. Anchors aweigh!
