Just you and your friends on a boat. Owner leaves you to yourself, and everything really depends on you! I was hesitant at first but we had an amazing time!

Absolutely amazing. The Beagle houseboat far exceeded our expectations. We didn't really know what to expect and tbh I thought it might be a bit cold on a houseboat in Jan,but someone had been round before we got there and put the heating on. The decor was so nice and cosy, loved the lamps and all the plants. The minibar system was a life saver and very reasonable priced. Location was perfect right in amongst it all but still quiet and they let us stay an extra night when we missed our flight.

Me and three mates had an awesome time aboard the Beagle, perfect base for seeing the sights of Amsterdam. AJ the captain provided a fridge full of goodies which was a great idea, as his things cost less than the local shops, 1 euro a can being a bargain. We will definately be coming back to the Beagle again, when i manage to save some money. Much better than any hostel and for the same price too.

The Beagle is brilliant and I will definitely be staying again on my yearly pilgrimage to Amsterdam, AJ the skipper is very welcoming and full of information about the surrounding area and I couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. I will be recommending it to all of my friends and I am paying for my two girls to stay for a week in June. Thank you.

"The Beagle" is the perfect location to stay for a small group as we were. Everything you need is there and on top of that you have the unique experience of the housboat. I can highly recommend it.
