About
Willow is a luxurious, spacious wide beam house boat. Retaining all the charm of an English canal boat it has a fresh and modern feel.
Beautifully furnished and equipped inside with 2 bedrooms, bathroom, lounge and fully fitted kitchen it really is home from home. The quirly kitchen hatch for feeding the ducks and swans is a great feature - we even provide the duck food !
11 miles of beautiful waterway, towpaths and country trails at your fingertips - bring along your walking boots, fishing rod, paddle board or even your bike and explore the great outdoors and wildlife.
If that sounds to energetic then simply plan a short walk to one of the local pubs in the pretty village of Woodham Walter or take a trip into the historic town of Maldon which is only 10 minutes drive away.
At the end of your day curl up in front of the log burner with a cup of hot chocolate on a cosy winters evening or enjoy a glass of wine out on deck and watch the sun set on a summers evening, willow is a great escape anytime of the year.
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, whisking a loved one away for a romantic break, or simply looking for an escape to relax and unwind, we can offer you the perfect holiday on board our luxury widebeam static hire boat Willow.
