"A break with a difference"
Having never before stayed on a converted boat, we were a little apprehensive as to the facilities to be provided. We need not have worried. We were met by the owner who explained the ship and showed us the cabin, the shower room and the lounge etc. The cabin, although (understandably) very small, was very clean, comfortable and the well equipped shower was adjacent. Breakfast was individually prepared to order and was superb. The owners could not have been more friendly and helpful. Read less

Wow. What a welcoming host and the other guests were The host was helpful and friendly. Couldn't find fault with anything and would recommend this boat to everyone - young or old. Will definitely be coming back for a longer stay. Such a magical little bay and the pub down the road served delicious food too. Read less

Rijnstroom IV Historic 92ft Dutch Barge available for Bed & Breakfast or Self-Catering accomodation
Welcome
Moored at a private pontoon on the beautifully scenic Bembridge Harbour, Rijnstroom IV, is a 90ft long by 18ft wide original Dutch barge built in Rotterdam, Holland in 1922. Constructed from Iron and Steel she weighs 140 tons. Originally she was used for transporting grain and other heavy goods around the canals and waterways of Holland. Later, after being commandeered by the German army, she was used for transporting munitions along the Rhine during World War 2. She was imported into the UK in December 1982 and moored at Sunderland Wharf in the Northeast of England. She was transferred to the River Hamble on the South coast of England in 1991 and then onto the Isle of Wight in 2004, where she was moored at the Odessa Marina, Newport. Finally after being purchased by her present owners in September 2006, she was transferred to Island Harbour on the river Medina and then onto her current home at Bembridge Harbour, where she has undergone extensive alterations and renovations to become a very popular holiday destination.
