"Amazing boat and hosts"

10.0

The boat is amazing and the host are very accomodating

Could do with some cutlery/plates as when the local pub is not serving food you will need these for your take-away

"Lovely stay"

10.0

Its in a boat yard and is surrounded by other nice boats, sits in the water so when tides in you can feel boat in the water which is nice. Pub just up the road close to shops

Was really nice, not sure if it can be sorted but a better more powerful shower would've been nice but wouldn't stop me from booking again
