United Kingdom
Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Great location
Negative: Didn’t feel as luxurious as the information implied, dated and worn out furniture including uncomfortable chairs and stools too tall so they don’t fit an adult under the counter. Old televisions that didn’t initially work until we added them to the WiFi and out of date PAT testing on electronics (2023). The rope ladder on the bunk beds that felt hand made does create a safety issue as we discovered with our daughter trapping her head in it during the night, fortunately she also got an arm caught so no lasting damage was fine but it was quite stressful
Summary: Great location but boat is a bit dated
