This is one of the best Airbnbs I've ever stayed in, and for my group of 8 friends it was by far the cheapest anywhere around Manchester. It is linked to the city well, but Ashton itself also has great pubs, and the Peaks are nearby for some lovely walks. Lots of space nearby for parking. We ended up spending a lot of time sitting on the roof of the boat in the sun - would definitely recommend doing this! Inside, it is cosy with a little wood burning stove. The host was brilliant and very accommodating, and let us book the boat for the whole weekend (as opposed to his using it for day trips). Certainly recommend staying in this Airbnb!
