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.
the location is simply stunning,theres not a lot in the immediate area,good walk to a local bar or restaurant but we knew that,we got some food in and just sat on the boat,to see the Kelpies at night changing colour with virtually no one else about was quite magical and worth every penny.the boat is quirky,comfortable,warm,loved the wood burner.it really did tick one off the list.
thank you for a true life experience.
The location is fantastic and was the main reason for choosing the accommodation. The novelty of staying on a narrow boat will be fun for most people and seeing the kelpies lit up on an evening is magnificent. The log burner on an evening was very cosy. Communication with the owner was second to none.
Quirky boat,lots of little extras
Owner was very helpful
Amazing location, so close to the Kelpies ,which are so beautiful, especially at night when lit up
Ate at Cooks restaurant which was only 5 minutes away (by car)
Also rode on the Falkirk Wheel which was another amazing experience
Quirky canal boat with alot of charm and stunning location. The Marigold Sunset had everything for a week long stay, Clare was a brilliant host and made us feel welcome immediately.
It's a narrowboat moored at the base of The Kelpies. The front of the boat is 25m away from the base of the nearest Kelpie!
It was a lovely quiet stay and very relaxing.
A great base to get to the Falkirk Wheel too. We got a taxi there, and walked the canal path back to The Kelpies (only 4 miles) with a very relaxed pace it was only 1.5 hours. A beautiful walk too.
There should be something above excellent for this location!
Nothing compares to waking up - on a boat - right there at Heelix... except maybe getting to walk around it at night, after everyone has left.
I had such a great time aboard the Marigold Sunset, visiting the local sights, cycling, walking around the nature reserve and generally hanging out on the boat. Really looking forward to visiting again soon!
