This boat was the most incredible place to root ourselves whilst visiting Manchester. The host was really accommodating- we were meant to go in Easter but they were happy to rebook for a time that suited current climate!
Sara made it super easy to find and check in, and it was clear the boats around hers were aware of the situation (air B and B rental) so they were also very friendly. The boat itself was beautiful- clean, well decked out and a sun trap each morning to make breakfast a real treat. The mooring area was a nice distance from the points of interest- my partner and I like to have a little stroll around and get our bearings. Plus- it was perfectly situated for the Crystal Maze Experience (our reason to visit).
The mooring area was close to the Roman ruins, with steps that seemed to usually be used for outdoor events, and it was great to know that this area was being patrolled during COVID as we felt very safe and secure.
Finally, Sara added all the little touches to make the stay absolutely perfect! There were little breakfast bits, shampoo and conditioner, an incredibly well stocked little bar (I wish we were still big drinkers) and eco-friendly installations.
Overall, a lovely stay. I don’t often spend lots on our accommodation but I splashed out for a treat for my partner and I as he loves the idea of a house boat. It was so worth that extra spend and I would love to go back and stay in the boat again!
