Looking for a boat?
Get out on the water (without ever leaving the dock!) on a commercial boat. Guests have access to a partial or entire boat, yacht or houseboat, which will remain docked throughout the stay. Meals and additional services may be available -- a nautical getaway awaits.

    Superb value for money, admin staff kept in contact and i had almost immediate replies with any queries i had. 2 bathrooms is great. The apartment is so clean, beds are so comfy 5 beds but can sleep 6. There is washing machine and ironing board and hairdryer. This Apartment in particular has fab views of the area and overlooks a green. Tram stop to town is seconds away, then it's 2 stops. If you cross the tracks and turn left we found a beautiful area with river boats, swans and picnic tables

    Very clean, lovely extras such as toiletries, chocolates and a welcome note which was nice. It is literally over the road from the new Co op Live arena which was ideal. It was lovely to sit on the balcony overlooking the canal and even more special when a narrow houseboat used the lock which was directly below the apartment

    What an amazing stay in the Vätten Hüs Manchester! The boat is just amazing, right in the heart of Manchester close to all the bars and restaurants around Deansgate area. The owners are very helpful and accommodating to make our stay extra special. They really went out of their way to meet our special requests and even exceed them massively 😍 Special shout out to Sami who stayed in contact with us throughout. Amazing!! Will definitely be back again soon ❤️

    Didn't book breakfast night b4 so went out for breakfast. Didn't ask about it. Staff were really helpful enjoyed the free swim in the hotel. Nice and clean hotel and swimming facilities. Remembered castlefield Hotel as we had a narrowboat years ago and moored up lower down in castlefield. Knew it was close to everything. Science museum etc. Enjoyed a nice gin and tonic in the bar area when we got there. Staff nice there as well.

    Complete wow factor, managed to keep it a surprise for my wife's birthday, she couldn't believe it when I jumped on the boat. Location was perfect, in the heart of everything but also felt totally safe and alone (obviously normal city noise)

    Warm when the heaters came on. Excellent balcony overlooking the boats on the canal. There was a lovely walk along the river from the property into town. Very comfy beds.. 2 bathrooms and good showers. Be aware that the 3 bed room is also the kitchen/living room. We did not try the TV.
