If you love to be by the water then a self-catering holiday on a houseboat may be the perfect choice for you. Step aboard and with a stay on a static holiday boat you can experience a unique holiday on the water with the advantage of being only a short walk or a few steps from the shore. Whether you enjoy a stay in boating accommodation on a river, lake or in wetlands such as the Broads, each can offer the thrill of a novel experience. Most static holiday boats are moored by the quayside.

Although on a static houseboat you won’t be cruising around, you can experience some of the best views with a stay by the waterside and may also be able to enjoy fishing. Some boating accommodation comes equipped with rods or rowing boats that you can use for free. All in all, holiday houseboats are a fun way to holiday. If you like to stay by the water, you may also be interested in waterside cottages.
