Chose this for a birthday weekend for my partner who loves rivers and he was not disappointed. Absolutely brilliant and perfect. Houseboat is modern, fresh, clean, bed comfortable, two TVs, coffee machine & complimentary wine & biscuits. Such a beautiful location. The castle is behind the trees and you can book a tour Tuesdays in the summer. Park in Premier Inn car park (book this online) then head for river front turn left away from the lock & houseboat is 5 min walk along tow path. Very easy to find. We loved the lock, cafe next to lock, Malta Inn for food, walks into Maidstone (30 mins) Kent Life is well worth a visit and just behind the Malta Inn. We could easily have stayed a week. Loved waking up to ducks on river, dinner on the deck area watching towers, swans, lovely as well when it rains . I’ve travelled across the world but have to say I’d return here again !

Fabulous place to stay (we'll be back). Clean and tidy, well laid out with a surprisingly big shower for this type of accommodation. Lot of nice touches including welcome products from the owner in a few places (won't spoil the surprise by listing them). Lovely big windows on both ends and a fabulous view from the lounge/diner along the river as the mooring is very well situated. We experienced lovely weather events: sunshine bouncing off the river and dancing on the ceiling; orange sunsets over the other boats and heavy rain hammering on the roof and the river - all very immersive. Over the 2 days we were also visited on occasion by a family of swans, ducks, geese - all very curious and friendly. Walked into town for dinner, mostly along the river. So relaxing, quiet, peaceful - what a recharge.

Stressful start difficult to find and couldn’t pay to park so worried for two days I would get fined until car park company sorted it out . Long walk with the food and luggage which we hadn’t expected. Property was clean and spacious and very private despite being next to the towpath. Very relaxing , good facilities and kitchen was well equipped for cooking .

Had a wonderful stay on Lady Florence. Beautifully decked out inside and out. Great amenities. Plenty spacious. Nice welcoming touches. Catches the sun throughout the day. Location is perfect if you want to pop to the local pub/restaurant or have a pleasant walk along the river into Maidstone. Georgina was a great host. Highly recommend staying.
