Houseboats
Not exactly a
country cottage as such, but houseboats can offer a similar peaceful
and secluded self-catering environment, in the country, with the added advantage of being on the river where you
can watch the world go by at a much more leisurely pace.
Houseboat
just south west of London
 A
unique and elegant 4-bedroomed houseboat in a tranquil setting,
Kingfisher has featured in Homes & Gardens, Campagne
Decoration and 25 Beautiful Homes.
Moored on the Thames opposite Windsor Castle for more than 100 years, its extensive gardens adjoining Datchet golf course, Kingfisher is the perfect place for every holiday interest:
- Watch the world go by from the boat, laze about or play badminton in the ˝ acre garden stretched over 185 yards of riverbank;
- Entertain in the boat’s oak-panelled dining room or barbeque in the gardens. Catering can be arranged;
- Perfectly positioned for day trips by rail or car. The M4 and M25 are just 7 minutes away, London in 35
mins;
- Local attractions include Windsor, Hampton Court, Elizabethan Dorney, Eton, Marlow and Henley;
- Children will enjoy Legoland, Thorpe Park and Chessington or chugging along the river in a boat hired from the village;
- Walkers can explore Windsor Great Park, the Thames towpath or follow the new, 7km landscaped flood channel to Maidenhead;
- Gardeners will enjoy Wisley, Kew, Saville Garden and Virginia Waters;
- And there’s Cookham for Spencer fans; Cliveden for glamour; Ascot & Windsor for the flat racing;
- Bring your own horse if you want to use the paddock!
Smaller, housetrained ‘pets’ also welcome.
