Not every 78-year-old boat is seaworthy, but this one got a new life nonetheless as the cozy bedroom of a unique Airbnb! It resembles a shark fin rising from the English countryside.
The owners had a bespoke marine “Hobbit door” built for the boat cabin, which adds to the charm. But don’t worry — there’s comfort as well. The adjacent cottage has a kitchenette with a stone sink and a gorgeous, moody bathroom with a lovely shower stall. What do you think?

Description:
The historic 1945 boat originally called the Anthony Stevenson sailed out of Penzance Cornwall, she has been converted in to a unique holiday retreat for couples. The modern boat interior has been designed to complement the beautiful oak beams and larch planking and kingsize bed.
The boat is positioned on a large deck made of reclaimed sleepers within a tranquil woodland overlooking the beautiful fenland countryside. The perfect retreat for couples to relax, explore and enjoy the amazing sunsets.
Accompanied by an adjoining boat shack style building made from many reclaimed materials which contains your private eclectic industrial kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen contains a large vintage carpenters workbench, with butler sink, cooking hobs and fridge. The spacious bathroom includes a walk-in shower, toilet and basin.
The boat is positioned on its own privately fenced three acre woodland, on our small holding where we live in a 1760 Georgian property with our pet goats, horses, pigs, sheep, cow, dogs and chickens.
We try to live a eco friendly sustainable lifestyle and as such the boat runs entirely off-grid with renewable energy produced by our solar panels.
