About this apartment rental
Step aboard this cheerful green houseboat for a fantastic stay on the water. Moored in Lochrin Basin, in the west of Edinburgh, she is a uniquely charming vessel that invites you to experience life on the canal – without having to actually do any sailing. The gorgeous wooden interior creates a homely vibe, where you can settle in and plan your sightseeing itinerary. Cooking is a joy, thanks to the forest green galley kitchen, and on fair days you can head outside onto the deck for a barbecue in the Scottish sunshine. To help you get extra comfortable, your host provides fluffy robes, hot drinks and eco-friendly toiletries – and kids are well looked after too with a range of entertainment options along with their very own bunk room. Seeing the city's most iconic landmarks is easy from here – Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and the Grassmarket are around ten minutes away on foot. And, if you want to travel further afield, then you'll find both a bus stop and a taxi rank just thirty seconds away from the boat.
Home truths:
*Same-sex groups under 28 are not allowed
*Parties may be permitted for an additional fee if you speak to your host first
*Due to the solid oak flooring, you can't wear high heels inside the boat
*A cot, high chair and baby monitor can be provided
*You can work remotely using your laptop at the dining table
*Small pets are allowed to join you aboard
*Check-in is between 4pm and 10pm – it costs £10 to check-in outside these hours
*Pack light using a soft suitcase if possible, as space is tight on the boat
*As this home is on the water, you'll need to be careful and wear a life vest when outside
*There are stairs to access the boat, so you'll need to be quite mobile
