It's a personal preference; but the bed was too soft for me

Great location with character.. Spacious atteactively decorated and well appointed rooms with fine habour views.

We had a power cut and the toilets backed up to nearly overflowing. We could were unable to use toilets and showers all of one evening of our bookings in both rooms I had booked and this was hugely not OK. There was no place we could use to release ourselves. One more flush and fences would have overflowed onto the floor. We were told this was not a one off occurrence.

Waking up in the morning to the tide being nearly ewindow level. Being so close to the pubs and restaurants. The barge experience was so different and great

Midgies, but you can't do anything about that.

Was a bit disappointed when we arrived. The barge is not very photogenic. Pleasantly surprised when we got into the room. There was a regatta going on and fireworks and celebrations which was a bonus.

Only the fact that the bathroom extractor fan was not working.

We liked the quirkiness of the barge and its position in the centre of the town. The views of the harbour from our cabin were stunning. The decor was fresh and new and the carpets were very new. The barge could do with a coat of paint externally but the inside is exceptionally good. We would heartily recommend it.

Boat looks a bit tired from outside.

Brilliant location. Self check in. No probs. Never met anyone the whole stay. Requires a spruce up on outside - paint etc. However , lovely inside. Everything worked. No isssues.

Great location & nice accommodation.

Alas the wi-fi was down ( BT issue ) however a note to say so would have prevented wasted time trying to log in.

Fantastic location on the quayside with full range of bars and restaurants on your doorstep ( or gangplank as it was ). With only 4 bedrooms , the boat is quite quiet and windows that face the harbour. Despite exterior looks, the bedroom is spacious and the walk in shower superb.

The smell from the bathroom, clearly they are having problems with the water draining from the shower. We also had a flashing light in the bathroom which wasn't ideal. A very creaky bed but the bedlinen was excellent.

The location was excellent. The room was exactly like the photo. We had a seagull and a swan tapping at the window which was unusual.

We had room number 4, which was comfortable but a chair to sit on would be helpful. Even a fold up one for space saving.

Unique stay on a barge in the heart of the pretty village of Tarbert.

clean comfortable & quirky

If I'm being picky there were a few bits and bobs cosmetically needing fixed in the room,

Great location, Busy but not too loud. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. One of the highlights was the Swan at our window a lot and that we were woken up by a bird pecking the window. Loved this. Would definitely go back.

In our room, room 1 the bed is terrible. desperately needs replaced and the shower has tiles coming away from the floor and doesn’t drain properly

Shower roof and floor need attention, also cracks in bedroom ceiling .

Liked the room, but there are areas that need attention.

Bad smell( rotten water) from toilet. Noise from outside.

Interesting design and concept.

Stayed in April 2023

was a bit hot going in, but we switched off heater and that sorted that.

from the outside, the barge looks a rusty old boat. but inside it is high quality and the views are great.

Lack of ventilation = mould in places (mostly bathroom) Would have been stunning when it was first renovated, but it's a tad shabby now (needs a paint job/removal or flaking plaster) Plumbing is noisy We were initially allocated suite 1, but it has sloping ceilings. As a 6' 4" chap, this wasn't happening. Suite 2, 3 and 4 were far better for taller guests.

Spacious room (suite 2) Great view Comfortable bed Unique property Owner very obliging and changed our room when I flagged that suite 1 had ceilings that were too low for me Lots of unrestricted parking available

Awesome location, stunning views, always makes me happy being there, can be a bit noisy re location but does not bother me.

Heating in room didn't work so a bit chilly. That being said , I'm sure if I reported it at the time it would have been sorted .

Stunning view and great location next to shops , parking and pub. Quirky and clean throughout and well worth visiting.

There were a couple of cobwebs but that didn’t deter from the cleanliness of the bed, furniture and facilities.

The novelty of sleeping on a boat was wonderful and for a reasonable price! Also the enormous shower was great, as well as the comfy bed and fluffy towels.
