About this property

You'll have the entire house boat to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Self drive narrowboat on the Thames, Windsor, Runnymede. Romantic retreat!

Have the run of the River Thames on your own boat! Sail by weeping willows, picnic on quiet banks and wake up to a new adventure every day.

Moored on one of the most beautiful and tranquil stretches of river between Windsor and Runnymede on the Thames, Willow Rose is the ultimate romantic retreat!

Willow Rose is ideally placed for sightseeing trips to the likes of Windsor Castle, Cliveden House, Legoland and Thorpe Park to name but a few. There are also several premium restaurants along the thames with mooring facilities where guests can take advantage of the culinary delights on offer, including Oakley Court in Windsor, The Compleat Angler in Marlow, Cliveden House (who do an especially exquisite afternoon tea) in Maidenhead and many more, not to mention the more accessible Cote Brasserie in Windsor and The Swan pub in Staines, both of which are situated bankside.

At 30ft she's half the size but double the personality than traditional narrowboats so very easy to handle and steer, even for the novice boater! But please don't worry, we will give you full tuition before you head on your way.

Sleeping up to 3 with comfy sofas which transform into a double bed and a separate single. She also boasts a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with bath, shower sink and cassette toilet.

Lovely, clean, airy boat. Andy provided comprehensive instructions on how to drive and navigate, Leah responded immediately to any questions. We had a fantastic time and found some great spots to moor up and watch the sun go down. The river has an abundance of lovely pubs and restaurants. Would highly reccomend!

A relaxing trip on a capable and nimble boat
After canal boat holidays when younger, I always remembered it being enjoyable and it still was! Easy process from start to finish with Leah. Pickup/drop off point was easy to find both by car and then by water. With plenty of locks a long the Thames to keep you busy whilst plenty of time also to do not a lot! We picked it up Friday 4:30 and got up to Eton and Windsor for the 1st night, from there we made it up past Maidenhead and some stunning properties in Bourne End to the lovely Marlow, for the afternoon round the town and then chose to come back to Eton for the night. From there on the Sunday morning, past the drop off point to Runnymede for a walk and then back. Great time, though short, but would definitely consider doing it again.
