The Four Sisters Boatel - Houseboat, Edinburgh

Staying in the Boatel was...

Liked: What fun it was to have a taste of staying on a canal boat! Cozy and well-appointed, it worked well for my husband and I and our 7 year old grandson as an adventure in itself, and as a convenient base for our adventures around Edinburgh and Scotland. Public transportation and groceries are just steps away. The welcome basket was very helpful!
Disliked: Keep in mind that the children's bunks, although they are very cute, are quite small. Fortunately, we didn't need the sleeping space.

awesome stay and quite fun.

Liked: boat was clean and beds super comfortable. we had an awesome time as a family.
Disliked: no comment

Enjoyable

Liked: A lovely boat which has been very carefully furnished, a pleasure to enjoy.
Disliked: The water pump was intrusive with random sonic booms during the day and night. The waste evacuation was also very noisy and could not be used during the night for fear of waking others up.

Fantastic stay on the Four...

Liked: A truly wonderful stay on the Four Sisters Boatel, something a little bit different as a birthday treat, and right in the heart of Edinburgh with parking nearby. The Boatel was luxurious and comfortable with everything we needed for a lovely cosy stay, with great facilities onboard and lovely comfy beds. Communication before our stay was great and we met the owner Natalie on arrival, who showed us how everything worked and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. A very memorable stay and we can't wait to go back! Thank you Natalie for everything :-)
Disliked: Nothing at all, everything was great

Very good

Clean and warm, good base...

Liked: Accommodation was clean and well equipped, lots of tea and coffee, plus milk was a welcome suprise. Plenty of heaters to keep it cosy and good entertainment package on TV, beds were comfortable.
Disliked: The bathroom facilities were a bit stressful trying to ensure kids didn't put toilet roll in toilet and the shower went cold after a minute or so, seating could have been nicer was a bit budget feeling. Felt a little vulnerable in the location as the gate to the berth wasn't secure which left me a little uneasy being a lone parent on a canal in the middle of a city, thankfully the only visitors we had during the night were the ducks.
