THE LOCATION

Ideally positioned alongside the River Great Ouse, your luxurious floating home in this historic County town of Bedford sits within a superb marina that shares its main land entrance with the extensive Priory Country Park. With plentiful walks and a boating & water sports lake, the extensive local bird life and kite flying enthusiasts provide an even less hectic distraction. Settle down, relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility across the water.

Try a ramble down the towpath to a country pub or the short walk along the river into the centre of town. Priory Marina itself benefits from an adjacent hotel and a pub/restaurant serving fine ales and good, hearty food. With an extensive chandlery and a superb fishing shop, the sporty members of the family can try their luck straight from the Houseboat or even at a chosen point along the river itself (a national rod licence is available at Post Offices).

A short stroll away a multiplex cinema, bowling alley and a wide range of styled restaurants tempt the leisure seeker. A little further, the themed indoor Oasis Beach Pool is great for the children and adults alike especially if the weather is a little inclement.

Alternatively, the whole family can hire bikes for the day and work off some excess energy through some pedal pushing!Bedford is easily accessed from both the A1 and M1 and has direct rail links to London Gatwick, London Luton and Nottingham East Midlands Airports*. The rail network can also speed you directly from Bedford straight into the heart of London in around 45 minutes – the good news is that it will also get you back again after a ‘night on the town’!

Unique accommodation in such close proximity to one of the world’s great capital cities is a real bonus. A holiday to remember indeed.
