1. Boutique houseboat
Make the most of Cambridge’s beautiful revierside location with a stay in a perfectly polished boutique houseboat. Hosted by a man who once worked as a boat builder, this wide-beam vessel has been expertly transformed into a very classy home for two. Here, you get to experience the best of both worlds: it’s a short walk into the city centre along the river and it’s moored just opposite Stourbridge Common, where you can watch the cows, cyclists and occasional horse riders enjoying the open space. In a word? Bliss.
Rooms? One. Sleeps two guests.
Mood? Unique boutique boat life.
Location perks? Right on the River Cam and just north of the city centre, so parking is free.
Budget range? Affordable.
