Arse the doorman/host was there to greet us on arrival and was on call to help with any questions or queries throughout, and came and had a beer with us on the Saturday evening.

The boat is well set up for larger groups, managing to accommodate 18 of us without feeling cramped, with space for all in the communal area.

A small supermarket 5 minutes walk away (doesn't accept visa) had all the essentials (except normal teabags for us English folk).

The one end of the boat had no heating so rooms at that end were cold. Rooms at the other end were heated, but near the toilets, which was fine except for a noisy macerator.

It was about 25 minute walk from the station and 10 minutes from the edge of the red light district and nightlife. We didn't use public transport, but Uber works well out there.
