Historic 1945 BoatShack Retreat

Escape to a beautifully converted 1945 boat, nestled in tranquil woodland with sweeping views of the open Cambridgeshire countryside. Originally known as The Anthony Stevenson, this historic vessel once sailed out of Penzance, Cornwall. Today, she has been transformed into a romantic, one of a kind hideaway for couples.

Inside the Boat

Bedroom: A king-size bed within the boat built from original oak beams and larch planking, blending nautical history with modern comfort. Carefully designed to retain the charm of the boat while offering a cozy, relaxing retreat.

Inside the Shack

Kitchen: Eclectic and industrial in style, built from reclaimed materials, featuring a vintage carpenter’s workbench, butler sink, cooking hobs, fridge, and dining space.

Bathroom: A luxurious private bathroom with a rain shower, elegant basin, and victorian toilet.

Outdoor Space

Step outside to your private decked terrace, with outdoor sofa, fire pit, BBQ and stunning views over farmland. 

Location

We have two exclusive retreats on our family farm in the Cambridgeshire countryside, both the Circus Wagon and BoatShack nestled within a meadow and woodland, each with their own private outdoor space that’s completely secluded and not overlooked, offering guests total peace, romance, and privacy.

20 minutes to Ely: A historic cathedral city, famous for its magnificent 12th-century cathedral, boutique shops, antique dealers, art galleries, and a vibrant selection of independent cafés and restaurants. Ely also hosts regular farmers’ markets, perfect for discovering local produce.

40 minutes to Cambridge: World-renowned for its university and breathtaking architecture. Stroll through cobbled streets, explore its 31 historic colleges, or take a punt along the River Cam for a truly unique perspective of the city. Cambridge is also home to excellent museums, artisan markets, and a thriving food and drink scene.

Extra Touches

The Farm: Meet the farm animals and book a farm tour on request.

Photoshoot: Add a touch of glamour with an optional romantic professional photoshoot during your stay (enquire after booking).

This is not just a holiday stay, it’s a unique, eco-friendly experience combining history, romance, and the beauty of nature.

Important information:

  • Whilst we are animal lovers we sadly can't accept guest dogs due to the risks and safety to both guests dogs and our own livestock / farm dogs.
  • Whilst we welcome children there is only one bed so sharing is required.
  • One basket of logs, kindling and BBQ coal are provided. Extra is available at £7 per basket.
