Amazing staff. Thank you Megan, Kai, and Katie for taking such good care of us and making us feel so welcome. Everyone here goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome. Cannot wait to come back with our new boat and see everyone again. Kai in the kitchen cooks amazing food and the best cheesecake I've ever had.
Love to you all at Roydon, Sam and Reggie Roberts xx

STYLEMONKEY 5* Google review

Had a weekend away staying in one of their Hot tub lodges. Perfect for what we were doing, in Central London one day and Harry Potter world the next so it was a great base. Still had time to have a walk around the canal and site grounds, lodge was clean with all modern amenities. Had a nice feel and plenty of room for the family.
Been back again in June 2026, we had a different lodges to year before but everything was as good as the last time. This time the clubhouse bar and restaurant had been refurbished, it was a lovely atmosphere for families and the food was reasonably priced and delicious.

Great little find. Booked a double room for a night in harlow(10 mins in taxi). Room was well appointed and clean. (Could do with a blind or heavier curtains to block sun). Clubhouse was convenient and served good food and breakfast.

Wir sind gestern angereist & da wir uns mit der Reisedauer nicht sicher waren sind wir viel zu früh angekommen.
Das Personal hat sich sofort darum gekümmert & so schnell wie möglich dafür gesorgt, dass wir früher in unsere Unterkunft könnten. Wir wissen das sehr zu schätzen und bedanken uns für die Hilfe und Freundlichkeit aller Menschen die hier arbeiten.

Wir genießen die Ruhe und freuen uns auf London. Der Zug hält direkt an der Unterkunft und in 40 min ist man mitten in London

I've had my boat moored in Roydon for 14 months now and have had nothing but exceptional service and support. The facilities are great, plenty going on at the boathouse, people are really friendly and a supportive community. Easy access to London being close to Roydon Station and village shops are handy for basics.
