What isn't there to like!!! This was a last minute stay cation. A surprise for my wife. We had the best time. 1st of all, the location is great. It was quiet, with lovely views. Watching the lights of the city twinkle on the canal was priceless. Parking was only a few minutes walk from the boat itself. The outside of the boat is in immaculate condition. Stepping inside... well what can we say. We were blown away. The decor is beautiful down to every last touch. There was a very comfortable sofa next to a wonderful log burner which kept us warm and toasty on a very cold winters night. Moving further into the boat, we were able to make our evening meal and cooked breakfast in the very cute kitchen, we particularly loved the small pot kettle that heated up on the stove. Next to the kitchen through a door is the bathroom, we were pleasantly surprised by a beautiful wooden sink, the bathroom was so well designed and quirky. Then finally next to the bathroom through another door was the bedroom. The bed fills the whole of the back of the boat. Its very high, there was a step upto it. We almost felt like little kids climbing upto the top bunk but we loved it. It was extremely comfortable. I personally slept very well. Over all we were so so pleased with the cleanliness, communication from the owner, great vibes of the decor, location and price of this booking. We had never stopped on a narrow boat before, this definitely won't be our last time!

Looking for a boat?

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.

What an amazing stay in the Vätten Hüs Manchester! The boat is just amazing, right in the heart of Manchester close to all the bars and restaurants around Deansgate area. The owners are very helpful and accommodating to make our stay extra special. They really went out of their way to meet our special requests and even exceed them massively 😍 Special shout out to Sami who stayed in contact with us throughout. Amazing!! Will definitely be back again soon ❤️

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)
