The boat with a terrace and river views features 2 bedrooms, a living room, a flat-screen TV, an equipped kitchen with an oven and a microwave, and 3 bathrooms with a shower. Towels and bed linen are provided in the boat. There is also a seating area and a fireplace. I note this is a first review, so I will try to provide a comprehensive account. This was a wonderful surprise. The boat is beautifully decorated, totally fresh and clean and with lots of thoughtful touches, fitted with a compact but comfortable and relaxing lounge with generous sofa, TV and internet. Better than an hotel - which hotel provides chairs and table on the deck to sit in the sun and watch the tide (and ducks) flowing past? I didn't require any heating, but saw it to be present and found no difficulty drifting to sleep with a peaceful lapping of waves on the hull. There is a very good double with ensuite and the cutest single, also ensuite and a fabulous shower. I felt like the captain on my own mini- superyacht. There is a well thought out galley (kitchen) that I think is best for breafast and simple meals. No need to worry about any catering needs in Sandwich (two minutes walk from Sea Dream's peaceful mooring) that was a real find. A historic period gem almost lost in time but with plenty of excellent pubs, restaurants and cafes with friendly welcomes and some unusual shops. I learnt there are plenty of events to enjoy throughout the year and it is also handy for visiting bigger places such as Canterbury. I will certainly visit again and hope Sea Dream will be available. A luxurious adventure at less cost than a motorway hotel.

The boat comes with 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, bed linen, towels, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a terrace with river views. A private entrance leads guests into the boat, where they can enjoy some fruits and chocolates or cookies. The property has an outdoor dining area. The location is brilliant for exploring the beautiful town of Sandwich and many other nearby places. We didn't leave Sandwich (we didn't want to leave the barge for long :)) Also, I would like to give a shout-out to Celia - she came to clean the barge after our stay. What a brilliant women - full of knowledge about the local area and the barge. She could not have been more helpful and even offered to jump start my car when it broke down. Meeting Celia brought our time on the barge to a very happy and cheerful end.
