The Thames is not so crowded these days, which makes for easier boating, and more room in the locks. The lock-keepers are friendly and very helpful and there are lots of nice pubs along the way.

This being the second time we have used Marinella. This could have meant that there were no surprises, but the river and the environment are constantly changing and the level of our interest is maintained.

Suffice to say we have already booked for our third holiday in this well kept, well placed and comfortable accommodation.

No I do not want to recommend this holiday because we usually find the houseboat is fully booked and it leaves less chance for my wife and me.
