We could not recommend Sara’s narrowboat enough, the boat is located in the heart of Castlefield basin next to the open air theatre which is well lit in the evening, the area has many bars and restaurants, the boat is set back away from the busy areas so is very relaxing and is only a short walk into the city centre, we stayed on the boat for 3 nights Sara was a perfect host always on the end of the phone with tips and advice, the boat itself is like a tardis with a kitchen/lounge, shower room, sleeping area and a separate bar with cocktail facilities, lots of attention to detail for a wonderful relaxing stay
