“This is a genuinely distinctive waterside escape, where meticulous attention to the 'little things' creates an exceptionally cosy and well-appointed atmosphere. While the absence of an onboard shower is a consideration, the nearby leisure centre's excellent facilities more than compensate, and the location is superb, placing you moments from the city centre's attractions and amenities. The host's dedication to guest comfort, from clear communication and parking arrangements to a warm personal welcome, truly elevates the experience, making it a standout option for those seeking something refreshingly different.”
