I went by reviews and hence thought I'd put mine too .
The location is good and walking distance from the town centre.The view from the top rooom of the canal is the best part.The bed was comfortable.
There is a room downstairs with steep steps going down from the upstairs room which was a challenge for me to handle.
There is no sink in the bathroom,so one has to go upstairs in the kitchenette sink to wash hands,brush teeth and shave.
The host speaks good english but was not communicative enough and quite reticent.When I enquired about how to get to any place ,her standard response was 'Take a taxi' .
During the first day of my visit I was woken in the morning at 7 AM up by a huge din .It was caused by handymen doing some hammering, drilling & reparing some lights near the enterance to the house.Since it was a planned thing I feel she could communicated this to me earlier.
This was my first stay and the last in a house boat .
In future I will probably prefer something is much less than £ 125 per night which is what I paid
