Exceptional

Liked: Everything
Disliked: The toilet, sorry

A unique experience that made...

Liked: Price and location were excellent. Communication was great too. Nearby secure parking was a bonus. We were able to check in very early with no troubles at all. Also a free breakfast hamper through Booking.com
Disliked: Nothing. It was exactly as described and pictured. We've been hammering Canal Boat Diaries recently so when we saw this was available we snapped it up.

Unique family stay

Liked: This was a unique experience that my family really enjoyed! It is easy to walk to the castle and royal mile. The shower house was an easy walk and the water was hot! My teenagers showered on the boat. We ordered a basket and made breakfast on the boat. Enjoyed feeding the swans and meeting some neighbors. Our host were pleasant and helpful!
Disliked: There is a lot of construction going on along the canal. We were there during the week so it was a little loud during the day.

Great location and quirky fun...

Liked: Location was great - and enjoyed being on the boat. Well designed.
Disliked: You have to be prepared for boat living! Great to find the shower block and toilets along the quay.

Great location great staff and...

Liked: Location was so convenient to everything short walk. Staff was incredibly charming kind and knowledgeable. Kids absolutely loved the experience versus just another nice hotel etc… was a great twist on glamoing but in the heart of the city and on the canal !!! We will be back FANTASTIC ! Highly recommend
Disliked: Nothing exceeded expectations

Kitchy idea but not for...

Liked: This was a very unique and memorable experience being on a house boat. The location was central to the major sites of the city and convenient to restaurants and stores.
Disliked: We knew the space would be tight, and while it offered 2 bedrooms and 2 bunk beds, the bathroom was very small and hard to maneuver in, especially for anyone with limited mobility. Getting in and out of the boat was also a challenge due to the small size of the door. The boat is also on a part of the canal with a lot of nearby pedestrians, so it was noisy even at night as people walked around so it was difficult to get a good night's sleep. While it was a safe location, due to the position of the boat, it was easy for pedestrians to see directly into the boat unless all the curtains were down, so we felt uncomfortable. I think it suits singles or couples but in retrospect it didn't work for our family of four. Additionally, part of the shower broke while we were there. We contacted the host but no one came to fix it. We also ordered a breakfast package but part of the order was missing so we had to supplement our meal.
