There was no communication at all from the host. “The Barge” is not written anywhere on the boat. When we eventually plucked up the courage to go inside it felt like we were entering a ghost ship. Shortly before leaving we tried to contact the host about a failure of the toilet flush but got no response.

A very comfortable room in a delightfully quirky housing. Loads of space. Great views especially when the tide was in. The cleaner was delightful.

Nothing, amazing venue.

Beautiful views,, lovely guest (swan) and amenities. Really comfortable bed, amazing shower and very clean and tidy and spotless. Appreciated the tea/coffee facilities.

The bed was creaky, every time you turned round, not good. Had to buy toilet roll, as could not find any spare, would be good for some bk up.. also would have been nice if window outside was clean, cause the view was beautiful. It would also would have been nice to have a welcome book, and things like hiw to work heating etc. .

I like the size of the room.. the shower was excellent.

Nothing to comment!

The fact that is an actual barge, it was amazing!

There were no instructions for the heating, and it was a little tricky to get to turn on. Since there is no one on site to help, I think a simple instruction would have been handy. Since it is a barge, the walls are quite thin, so I also think a note to guests to try not to slam doors and keep noise in the hall to a minimum out of curiosity to their fellow guests would be helpful for all.

I liked the location and the funky uniqueness of the property. You are definitely living on a boat with all the nuances that come along with that. Keep in mind that it is a 100-year-old barge...not the Queen Mary. My room had a fabulous shower and very comfortable bed.

A little cramped understandably, no place to sit but the bed. Working out how to get the shower going was a puzzle I could have done without :)

The location was perfect, and it's a novel experience overnighting on a barge

I would like to say '' That none of the points mentioned below ruined our stay, as we had a lovely time, and would stay there again, but there was room for improvement. Considering this, I think the price should reflect that. On arrival, the tide was out, and the boat looked a bit shabby. There is no sign anywhere that says it's the 'Barge', and there was a sign hanging from the railings advertising someone else's business. So I didn't think we were at the right boat. On the photo of the room, it looks as good as a hotel, but there was peeling paint in quite a few places. The ceiling in the room had a repair, but they hadn't painted over it. The bathroom window didn't shut properly, so It might be a bit cold to stay there in the colder months. The sound proofing wasn't great, as we could hear the guy next door quite clearly. If you have only got half the boat booked, I would have the guests further apart.

I thought the location was great. I loved the view being so close to the water and watching the birds floating by. The bathroom was nice and spacious, which was great as my husband is a big guy. The room was presentable and looked nice. It was nice to be able to sit in comfy chairs with a table and have a cuppa, just watching the view. There was ample tea and coffee supplied. It was just across from the pub and places to eat, which was great. We had a lovely time, and would stay there again.

Web page booking should advise that breakfast is available locally as above as people who do not know may be put off from booking.

Comfortable, clean and great location. Happy with ‘no breakfasts’ as there is an option in a cafe opposite that does good breakfasts.

Not that we didn’t like but was a shame we didn’t meet anyone at check in

Uniqueness and quirky. Good location

Owners need to address the maintenance/decor needing attending to.

Location. Have been before & would hope to return again in the future. Great harbour views from room. Had a visiting Swan at the window. Enjoy seeing the scene change with the tides, boats etc.

Cleaner bathroom and carpet. Window fittings not all working. Low height bathroom. Would not regard as luxury accommodation.

Location ok

Better clarity around where the barge was. e.g. The name of it, the marine services sign or the nearest restaurant would have been helpful. Whilst it was the only barge, we had to walk the full length of the harbour to establish this. Greater clarity around the fact that you only have a room on the barge and that there may be others on board with you. Bottled water would have been a nice touch.

Lovely setting on the water and right near cafes, restaurants and nice walks. The room was spacious and comfortable. Being on a barge was a lot of fun. Thank you.

No communal area or restaurant/cafe. Few issues like the shower doesn’t quite drain due it all being an a slight slope. Noisy water pump. But I’d come back as it is quite cool.

Quirky barge. Very spacious rooms. Clean. Good location. Amazing views of the harbour and birds.

Twice I asked before I arrived if there was tea and coffee making facilities in the room but I never got a reply. The toilet roll holder in the room is very very rusty! And the damaged roof where it has previously leaked needs repairing. Both these things let the accommodation down and would not take much effort or time to repair. Nice quirky place to stay but need to paint the outside, note in the room said this was going to start in April, now into May and no sign of it starting to get done!!!

Location is excellent

Can do with a bit paint etc, some broken tiles on the bathroom floor and damp patches.on the carpet in the bedroom

Maybe a tiny bit of updating needed on decor and painting but wasn’t a big deal for us as view and location meant more.

Good value for Money, the view is lovely, the location is excellent.

As it's linked/above a cafe/distillery you do hear noise etc.

Covenient location for walking around the beautiful village of Plockton & immaculate inside.

There wasnt anything that we didnt like but maybe a mini fridge for keeping milk / and or provisions would be good but space being limited maybe that is not possible.

A great spot in the lovely village of Tarbet. The cabin was very tastefully done and we had everything we needed. It was a very comfortable bed. The view to wake up to was just perfect. We spotted the heron sitting in wait from our window. An additional bonus was having the option to go on to the outer deck with the sunny weather! Thank you to the owner and cleaner who were understanding when we forgot about the clock change and were a bit late checking out!

fabulous location

Door into hallway not well soundproofed and had gap along bottom so very aware of people coming and going

Very quirky and unique accommodation. Very comfortable beds and cosy in some particularly extreme weather. On the doorstep of pubs, shops and restaurants and plenty parking.

On arrival, just looked like a normal barge, once through the swing doors very nautical theme, then to our room Loch Fyne, lovely clean room and cracking view of harbour and even had a visit from a swan. Good sized shower room too. Very peaceful location for a night away. There are a few restaurants available nearby, a local recommended the anchorage for dinner, lovely seafood and choice. Breakfast available at hotel opposite or restaurants nearby. Enjoyed our stay.
