3.5 / 5.0
The location was great. 20 minute walk to the Royal Albert Dock. 20 minute walk to grocery stores. There is a pub at the Yacht club which was very useful and pleasant.
The boat itself is very interesting and has a good layout for families. Really different and unique stay.
The boat was not very clean, and needs a major facelift, and repair of some areas.
The couches were very uncomfortable - I wish they would update these for a better overall experience. Especially if you are staying more than a few days and not just to party.

A very unique and amazing experience. The boat was really well set up and beautiful and the yacht club right next door was really friendly with lovely staff and great food..I would definitely recommend
Just a few minor maintenance issues need fixing. The window behind the master bed and the shower drain.

Location is ok at end of Coburg Wharf with 30min walk to Liverpool One shopping area. Breakfast at Yacht Club next door is good for £12
This accommodation was not clean. There were fresh stains and dirt throughout the property. Bedding was not fresh with stains on duvet covers and sheets. It appeared that beds were simply made up without changing following the previous visitors. We slept with our clothes on. Fresh brown splash stains on bathroom wall next to toilet is not acceptable. We simply avoided the bathroom and shower area. Either housekeeping is a major problem or this accommodation is poorly maintained.

cool odea
wasn’t cleaned properly - glass shards by the bed table and the main room window was broken and kept opening. the bathroom didn’t have a window pane so despite using the heaters that did work - the boat was freezing.
a few stains on the sheets but that’s not a biggie.

4.5 / 5.0
It was just wow at first sight and when the doors were open and we could see the interior of the boat it was just wonderful with 2 very excited children. The boat had just been refurbished therefore the current photos on the website don’t do it justice. The Batman features were wonderful. Most important of all in a very cold and extremely windy night with heavy showers the whole family slept well and were warm and very comfortable. Absolutely spotlessly clean. Definitely recommend this boat. We live in Liverpool and this stay was a treat for the children during half term and most definitely exceeded expectations. There are plenty of electrical sockets available to plug in a phone charger and plenty of places to eat as well as other leisure facilities. A wonderful staycation which everyone would like to do again.
As the boat had just refurbished there was no information leaflet available and the staff in the yacht club said they couldn’t help with anything apart from giving and collecting keys. The owner however could not have been more helpful having the answer to any question about the boat immediately to hand.A great guy thank you
2.5 / 5.0
The Electric kept tripping out, so had to go onto the platform for the trip switch. The water tap on the platform had to much pressure and kept bursting, couldn't get any hot water for a shower. The boat was to noisy at nights swaying and the ropes grinding etc.
The location was great, the overall quirkyness of the boat was nice. Pillows comfy, bedding towels provided, cleaning product's etc.
4.5 / 5.0
It was different and quirky but still comfortable. I went with friends for her 60th and she really enjoyed it. We were very lucky with the weather but this wouldn't have mattered as we had space to chill out inside. I would definitely recommend to others

Living area fair
Sleeping areas not great - sink leaking - poorly set up clearly this was good at one point but now it is tired and a lot of things not great. 5 star rating relates to 2015.
Oven door glass missing - looks like set up for a party boat -

The yacht club was very nice.
The boat was by no means luxurious as advertised. All furnishings were worn and most had holes/burns in them. The floors have all failed, the curtains are falling off and the windows didn't lock, the toaster had green mould bread crumbs in it, and the floor under the double bed was wet. Most of the lights didn't work, and inside the drawers and wardrobes was an awful musty smell. Also very worrying, was that none of the electrical appliances had up to date PAT tested stickers on, some from 2013!!! and the two fire extinguishers were full of dirt, no up to date safety stickers on, and one had its pin already pulled out! One of the air vents on top if the boat is taped up.
It's a good 30 minutes walk to Albert Docks, not as advertised.
Raised these issues with the person we handed keys to, who advised us to contact the owner by email. This has been ongoing for over a month, and they still haven't addressed these issues.

Such a good time. Dave the man who with dealt with when we got there was so nice. Such a lovely man.
The boats so good, beds are really comfy.
We even got a cheeky look on their other boat the titanic and that looks amazing too.
Had a ball thank you

Location and lovely staff at the Yacht Club, decent food and ambience. Great city to visit, lots going on
Bow door did not lock, no working lights in corridor, faulty shower, hole in sofa, the boat has been used as a party boat with no care or attention by management. Stacey the cleaner does a good job. On arrival the site manager said he wasn't aware of our booking. The owner couldn't deal with it, we phoned him but said he is a Doctor and was in a meeting.

Great location just across from the Yacht Club
Stayed here 3 years ago and was impressed, unfortunately there are some signs of wear and tear. Trim cracked and section missing on laminate edge. On arrival we found the duvet in the washing machine still wet

location good.
Nice to wake up in a marina with the sounds of the water.
Interesting to stay on a houseboat.
Toilet sprayed water out of the back when you flushed.
Single beds were very short.
4.5 / 5.0
Boat is located in a lovely area behind the yacht club, boat is very spacious and comfortable loved having a door at the back and front of the boat to stand out onto, very peaceful of a night time with ducks swimming around. All in had a great stay would deffo book again!
Could be a little bit easier to close the main door x
