The Four Sisters Boats

"Unusual accommodation which is centrally located. Definitely need to be fairly agile to squeeze into some of the space but it's beautifully fitted out and the breakfast hamper was very generous."

"We had a three night stay on the Camilla. The boat was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The boat is perfectly located near the centre of Edinburgh. The bathroom is a decent size for a canal boat and it has a huge shower with piping hot water. If I had one negative to say about the boat it was the pumping system. The fresh water pump was extremely loud and would wake everyone up if you went to the toilet in the middle of the night, and you need to activate a pump when you take a shower or use the bathroom sink to discharge the grey water overboard. I am not sure why this system is fitted as an automatic bilge type pump with a float switch would be the answer, but the pumping system did not spoil our holiday, it was great!"

"I had the pleasure of staying on both of the boats available and both are absolutely gorgeous. So comfortable, and unique, without losing the atmosphere of being on the water. The staff were brilliant and went above and beyond to help me plan out my trip and answer all my questions about the boats, and even had fishing lines for the kids! Definitely will come again, was a really unique and fun experience"

"The boat was lovely, charming and well equipped. Natalie was great too, very helpful. However, unfortunately the boat just was not up to standard in the cleanliness department. The bedding smelled of wet dog and cigarette smoke. There was no flush on the toilet, hence used toilet paper had to be disposed of in a small bin - on which I could see stains from fecal matter. Aside from that, the area was horrendously noisy from the bars and pubs in the vicinity, and the boat didn't offer much in sound proofing. Really quite disappointing but hopefully the owners can sort out the cleanliness issues next time."

"I've stayed on the Four Sisters Boatel on several occasions over a few years - it's for sure our favourite place to stay when we're in Edinburgh. We can bring our dog with us which makes the stay even better. The boat is immaculate and the owner, Natalie, is so friendly and helpful - nothing seems too much trouble. She explains everything in the boat before she leaves but is always just a phone call away if you have any questions. The location of the boat is ideal for exploring the city. There are no bars immediately in the vicinity so it's very peaceful, but there's pubs a short walk away if you fancy a tipple! 5* for sure, we can't wait to stay again!"
