Water beds: the UK’s 10 best floating hotels

Stow away on an ark, a converted ferry or houseboat and be lulled to sleep by the lapping waves

This three-cabin houseboat on the Penryn River near Falmouth aims to be a supremely relaxing perch for its guests. The top deck is ideal for morning yoga while indoors there’s a pitched roof, sofas and floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the river. Falmouth is a 30-minute walk away or you can get out on the water with paddleboarding, surfing and sailing on your doorstep.
