Life on the Moonshadow takes a simple pace of life, an alternative stay that offers a unique experience in Manchester. A boat full of life and luxuries on the canal, watch the swans swim by each morning and have your breakfast outside, smell the roast of fresh coffee beans and watch the hustle and bustle of people walking alongside the canal during the morning rush. Head into Manchester, literally a 15 min walk, visit the art gallery, have a drink in the Northern quarter and head into China Town for some Asian food fusion. At night the Moonshadow offers your own private bar to make cocktails, play music and if you feel like it, get dressed up and have a spectacular theatrical night onboard! Sara is a great host and the community at Castlefield are so friendly and if you love Manchester for all of the diverse and cultural things that you will find along with a most comfortable bed to sleep in under the stars, then the Moonshadow is for you! We just loved it!
