Stayed her with our grown up kids for a family party, location is superb makes the city very walkable (meadows, new town etc) great restaurants and bars around fountainbridge. Accommodation is really fun, was quieter than we expected apart from the crane which no one could do anything about. We were there week after fringe before students all turn up.

We got canceled a couple of hours before we were supposed to check in!! A leak on the boat apparently!! Had to find somewhere else to stay that ended up paying a lot more. Have asked for a refund but not getting a reply. Absolutely gutted after booking many months in advance for a special experience! 😢

Perfect stay for discovering Edinburgh. It’s is only 10 min walk from the old city, has beautiful and calm atmosphere. You can find everything on the boat you need! We also ordered a bucket of local food from the owner (milk, yogurt, cheese, cereals, salmon, eggs…) it was delicious. I totally recommend !

Absolutely amazing time had on Camillia. A mini floating boutique experience. Perfect central location. Fully equipped and cosy for the six of us. Y family loved the stay and would definitely return. She wasn’t fazed by storm Katryns 45mph gusts. Would like to return in the summer to sip cocktails on the deck next time.
