Why Choose a Houseboat Holiday with Kids?
A houseboat holiday with kids is unlike any other family break. You’re not locked into a single resort or hotel: instead, you get to chart your own course, change your view every day, and enjoy the unique rhythm of life on the river.
Here’s why families love this kind of getaway:
- Our family-friendly houseboats offer multiple bedrooms, large dining areas, and plenty of outdoor deck space.
- There’s no need for complicated itineraries. Kids love spotting wildlife, fishing off the deck, or relaxing in the spa.
- Our boats include modern comforts like Wi-Fi and TV, but there’s also plenty of time for board games, storytelling, and stargazing.
- With no outside distractions, a family houseboat rental gives you the space to properly connect with each other.
