    The use of a toilet was off-site if you wanted more than a pee!! Although good facilities a short walk from the boat.

    Amazing views of the Rock . Excellent liaison and communication with the hosts prior to the arrival. Great voucher provided for breakfast the following morning at a nearby eatery. A unique stay. Will return.

    The cabin I was in had no windows so was very stuffy. A small fan would make a big difference.

    Being on a boat was fun.

    Should you have any mobility issues you may wish to think about your stay as it is a boat.

    Great location, good facilities, friendly and accommodating staff. Great stay, loved socialising with the other guests. Very welcoming atmosphere and plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Recommended.

    Lack of security. Locks only on inside. The port security was non existent. We got given a key card, but the doors were tied open. Anyone can easily come aboard.

    Loved our cabin. The honesty bar was excellent.

    They were doing some work during our stay so getting to the boat was a little out of the way but it was ok.

    The location was excellent and staying in the marina was also very cool. Very close to bars and restaurants.

    Mosquitos around the marina but that can’t be helped by the area! The rooms were also very hot but was fine for a couple of nights

    The location was gorgeous, hosts looked after us super well and the showers weren’t far at all from the boat - the top deck is gorgeous to sit there for a drink and relax x

    This is the home of the owners, and understably, they dont appreciate guests coming back in the early hours of the morning.. on our last night my son, who I hadn't seen in 6 years, wanted to spend some time with us it was to our bad we didn't realise quite how small the boat was..and we apologise for waking other guests ..also to shower and poo you have to go to the communal block I am pretty sure it wasn't on the details we looked at to book.

    It is a delightful and fabulous location, and in hindsight, it is probably best to book the whole boat

    Again not being used to boats moving around was a little dangerous and the outside bathroom .

    As stated in the description the showering facilities are not on site, they are a short walk away, they are very nice but no hot water during our stay unfortunately. Not an issue for us but just note that it is a relatively small space with steps on and off the boat so maybe not best for those with mobility issues

    Lovely hosts. Great views from the back deck of the boat. Good location in the Marina near bars/restaurants and just a 20min walk to the airport.

    Very little space to move around in the room or to keep your bags; The bed is too high in the biggest room of the boatel, making it a bit cumbersome; but i suppose that was unavoidable it being a boat, and the bed being on an already raised area. Being a small room, the step to the bed is where one always tripped and was rather annoying. The room had stairs leading to a terrace, and we kept the hatch open for fresh air; as it got really warm ( in April). A fan was provided, too. All in all, a pleasant , serene boatel. We had a good time.

    That it’s a boat; in the protected marina, and only people on the boat have access to the private area. Lovely balcony overlooking the rock; however we hardly had time to truly enjoy it ; clean, equipped kitchen. There were no taxis at the airport and we had to walk to the boat- something we did not enjoy in the blistering Sun with a large bag to drag. Johnny was kind enough to come get us when we were a bit lost. It would be nice if lodgers were given Taxi telephone numbers in advance. There are Excellent, buzzing restaurants on the marina. Tracy is a wonderful lady. The shower and toilets are some distance away; and though it wasn’t an issue for me; it was for others; so if you’re someone who needs to go frequently or have IBS; think before you book. However, they are good, spacious bathrooms - usually clean in the mornings, but not cleaned enough between people using them.

    The toilet (for number 1s only) is very small but the toilet and showering facilities in the marina are excellent.

    The location at the marina was ideal, and just a short walk from the centre of town. The living area is nicely decorated and cosy, and I like the provision of alcohol and the honesty box.

    If you don’t want to share in close quarters with others or want a nice en-suite it’s not for you, but it’s a novelty and fun.

    Owners very friendly and helpful. Nice hanging out on deck.
