    Gorgeous accommodation. Really high standard and completely stunning, ideal for a special occasion. Location really good too with a lively bar right across from it but not close enough to cause any disruption. Good facilities.

    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)
