It's small but cozy, and we DID see a swan just outside the window when we arrived! The room was warm (even in mid-February), but the window can be opened for fresh air. There's more space than you think since there are big deep drawers and a cabinet under the bed to put your suitcases (we had 2) and belongings, and a long window ledge for misc items. The fridge is small but enough for some meats and cheese and the kitchen space lets you make coffee or cut up some bread. The host has some great recommendations (including when, or when not, to get pie). Despite being close to the canals we found it very quiet and peaceful, we couldn't hear anyone else in the houseboat, and only heard the neighbours on Fri/Sat evenings. We would definitely stay again!
