Wonderful

  : The mattress on the bed was a little smaller than the base and as an elderly person uncomfortable getting in and out

  : Very good location in city center, quiet place, something special.
  : We spent there 4 days and expected (offered and paid) 3 breakfasts. We received only 1 baskets with meal 1st day and no more. Too little for 5 people (6 eggs, 1 loaf of bread, butter, 1 milk, 1 juice, 1 yogurt, 1 bag with muesli, 6 bananas, 5 nectarines = 1,5 breakfast, not 3 :-( )Disposal pump in use was noisy, annoying for one who slept in "living room".

  : I liked the location. Also it was quirky and a bit different kind of unique. The beds were comfy and my kids loved it
  : There was no communication from the staff regarding check in or out had to call once I got there as no one was about and had to call again when leaving as no instructions on checkout There was no breakfast that was supposed to be included so I had to go ask for it and I didn’t love the toilet situation

  : Staying on the houseboat was a unique experience. The host was very communicative and helpful. The location was very quiet and the boat did not move much at all so there was no seasickness from anyone onboard.
  : The rooms were only large enough for the bed with very little wiggle room. From the photos, I was expecting the rooms to be a bit larger and I was expecting three rooms, not two rooms and a pull out bed. That might be my fault for not reading the listing closely, but there are three boats and we were placed in the smallest one.

  : We loved the unique experience and we were lucky to have one non-rainy evening where we could have some wine above deck. Check-in was flexible and use of the boat was explained quite clearly in terms of the pump systems, etc.
  : We'd requested a hamper for arrival, but it must have been missed in the communication. And I understand there was meant to be a key left for us so that we could use the laundry/shower facilities, but that wasn't shown to us when we checked in and we couldn't find it. Not a big deal as the shower in the boat worked just fine. But then the gate to the dock was locked and we had to hop the gate a couple of times becuase we didn't have the key. The only real bummer was that there wasn't a toaster! We love some toast and tea, but ended up trying to toast bread in a pan instead.

  : Location was very good. Natalie was very nice. The place worked very nice for our needs. Very close to nice cafe and Tesco express. Easy walk to Grass Market.
  : Natalie was a little slow responding to on line communication but everything worked out nicely and we would recommend it.

  : I thought it was very quirky and something very different, but I probably wouldn’t stay again as I’m over 6 foot tall and struggled with the bathroom
  : It was very narrow for myself, and I didn’t like the bathroom

  : A good experience and a good location to explore the Edinburgh attractions.
  : The separate toilet/shower facilities were good. However, it was inconvenient to have to leave the boat. Overall, it was very expensive, value for money is questionable.
