    Well equipped, cosy, fun

    As you would expect, it is cosy which can also feel a little cramped sometimes and bathroom is small as again you would expect.

    눇Great location, a bit different from a hotel, very well equipped, cosy, fun. Weather was good so enjoyed sitting on deck. There are showers separate from the boatel which we used, they were very clean and spacious.
