"Perfect and unique."

10.0

A totally unique and special stay on an old paddle steamer. The views and bird life was superb and it was so comfortable. There were so many extra touches and a great breakfast and a bottle of wine.

There was quite a lot of bird mess on the deck but worth it for the close view of hundreds of swallows flying around.
