- "Easy checkin process. The mattresses need replacing i think. A couple were tough to sleep on because of the metal springs. " - "A great place to start only a 5 mins walk to the bus station for a trip in to Edinburgh ,supermarket 5 mins away and petrol on the doorstep 😁" - "One of the messages from the property didn't come through, the one that gave decent directions. Several places en route looked like they were the property. It took a while, but we eventually found it. Apparently there's a kitchen on site, but we only found one in the hostel across the street? Had a hard time finding the switch to turn on the hot water, I tried messaging the property, but it was late and I never got a response. The switch was pretty big by the showers, I probably missed it since I was tired. The cabin was a little dingy, maybe a bit of mold on the ceiling. But for the price (1/3 the price of a real hotel within 100 miles)it was still a great value for warm showers and taking a break from tent camping. "

Location is beyond phenomenal, next to 2 major lines that take you pretty much to central London or directly to the airport. One thing to keep in mind is due to the structure of the ship there is a lack of wifi inside the rooms. Highly recommend it for the experience and lovely owners alone.

- "Great stay on a lovely, clean, comfortable, well equipped narrow boat. Plenty to see in Ely, all attractions within a short walk and good longer walks in the surrounding countryside. Very helpful host offered suggestions for local restaurants and a comprehensive tour of the boat" - "Lovely Narrowboat with all amenities, with great charm. Thank you for wine and chocolates. Garf was very helpful on information & places to eat ." - "Very good location. Very positive experience, positive welcome upon arrival. Provided a true experience of narrowboat living, just what we were looking for. Ample fresh linen, towels, coffee/tea etc. Pots and pans to cook if desired. Everything had been well considered for our comfort during our stay. A small table and chairs on deck provided a nice vantage point to contemplate the beautiful surrounds. The only possible negative was a disused narrow boat sat alongside our boat and this may likely deter some people from revisiting, the owner may want to consider this aspect. We did not mind as felt it was just part of the real experience of living on a narrowboat. It was very picturesque with plenty of local historical buildings etc, to explore. Quaint tea shops within 10/15 minute walk and eating places within 2 minute walk. Beautiful easy access to varied countryside walking. Booking in was a breeze and the communication and helpfulness of G was fantastic throughout. I would list this under a very positive new and different experience that is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. Definitely highly recommend."

- "What a great find this was.... Originally I was looking for a nice hotel for the night as a little treat with my partner. Due to the Take That performing at Swansea.Com Stadium the same night. Hotel prices were sky high, nearly all had over doubled in price, some asking £400+. Than out of the blue I find this beauty..... Absolutely stunning views as far as the eye can see all round. Hot tub was amazing heated by a log burner. Comfortable seating area with a fire pit and bbq. The lake was massive in the centre was a platform you could access by a bridge. Which had a Igloo dome tent you could use. (Nice touch) The Yacht was basic but very comfortable. All in all it was great stay and will be booking to stay again. For the same price you would normally pay to stay in a nice hotel you can get all the above...... I know which one I'd be choosing......"
