The owner communicated well with us and gave great directions and instructions, so we had no trouble at all in finding the boat and getting on board. The location was really nice. Very quiet at night. A great pub, cafe and pizza restaurant a few yards away. The boat was really sweet and very cozy: fairly roomy inside and well laid out. I stayed with my daughter for one night and we both really enjoyed our stay. I slept in a double bed and my daughter had one of the bunk beds. I'm only 5ft tall and slept OK on my own. But there is no way my husband could have been comfortable in the double with me as he's over 6ft. And it's also not a wide bed. There is also a double bed that can be made up in the dinette. Our host had left us tea, coffee and 2 bottles of water, which we appreciated as it was not recommend to drink the water from the tap. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the houseboat. It would be worth checking what entertainment was on at the Dorothy Pax pub, as it would be a great evening canalside.

It's a shame that it has such a small fixed double bed with the boat being a wide beam. The mattress was quite soft. I think the bed would be uncomfortable for two larger adults. The only other slight frustration was the really squeaky toilet door with meant nightime loo trips woke up the whole boat! Lol!

A unique accommodation on a canal boat moored at a quay very near the city center. Quite fun! Spotlessly clean and run by a charming host. If you are looking for the Ritz Carlton, go elsewhere. But if you are in the mood for something different in a great location with all needs met, give this houseboat a try! There’s an easy to understand guide to the facilities on the boat. Included parking is right at the boat and directions to access are complete and simple. Nearby pubs and cafes. If you go, and you see owner Mark around the boats in the morning, talk to him! He is friendly with loads of stories and information and can tell you all about the boats. Our first visit to Sheffield, an interesting city with lots of history and many restaurants, pubs and historical sights. We hope to be back!

Nothing, wonderful stay

Fantastic stay, was very clean, beds were super comfortable we had such a lovely nights sleep. Great location, so so pretty at night. Thank you so much!

The only negative thing which wasn't really a problem was that I wasn't told that the cafe's along the quays weren't open on a Sunday morning. If I'd have known I probably would have purchased some breakfast bits from a local supermarket the night before and made a nice little breakfast in the boat because that would have been really really lovely you have all the neccessaties there to do so but like I said not an issue 🙂

I was looking for a unique experience within Sheffield city centre when I stumbled upon this Houseboat Hotels. Stayed for just one night with my partner to celebrate birthday and I loved it very much. There are 2 boats to choose from, which is just next to each other and a parking was provided right in front of the boat. I was worried if it would be cold inside but the heating was perfect all throughout the boat. There was one double bed, one bunk bed, and a sofa (probably a sofa bed), which I’d say would be comfortable up to 4 people to stay. There was a stove and oven to cook with complete set of kitchen utensils and also fridge. Bed was made upon arrival and towels were provided. They provided an instruction before checking-in and left a simple instruction sheet that explains on how to use the stove, shower, etc.

There was no paper towel or sponge, which we had to bring our own, but dishwasher was provided. There was also no extra toilet paper if it runs out. But other than that, everything was clean and perfect!

The quirkiness of a houseboat appealed , got everything you need for a weekend stay . Centrally located at Victoria Quay, walking distance to city centre or Kelham island . Cafe , and 2 bars , restaurant located just along the quay . Very quiet at night . Comfortable , got everything you need in the kitchen . Bed was comfortable to sleep . Access to the quay and boat was easy following detailed instructions sent before hand . Now we have tried a houseboat we would think about hiring one that moves 😀

Not much .

The boat was very well presented, clean, and tidy. The instructions provided for finding the boat and parking space were good (better than the satnav!) and the area was quiet and felt safe despite it's proximity to a busy (but friendly) bar and the city centre. The instructions for making use of the facilities on board were also good, not overwhelming and covered what you need to know to be comfortable.

There was nothing I didn't like that wasn't just a feature inherent to living on a boat for a few days! If you're up for something a little different then everything here is tip top.

Overall a nice lovely boat very clean and tidy and very well presented. Everything on board that you would possibly need for a few nights stay. where the boat is situated is a nice little area.

My only personal thing would be the actual going into the boat down the stairs on lots of boats the roof slides forward slightly to make the access easier unfortunately on this style of boat it doesn’t which can make it a little bit more harder to get in and out of.

I wish we had booked for longer, but we'll know gor next time. The boat was great. There wasn't anything you could say was missing, facility wise. There was a hob, kettle, fridge, first aid kit, tea and coffee, etc, even an ice bucket! The location was excellent and the nearby little bars were so friendly. Would highly recommend and would definitely return. Thank you, Mark, for your help and hospitality.

There was nothing we did not like.

Our second stay to date. Very original. Comfortable with a little luxary and very quirky. Spacious, well equipped and a very cosey bed. Better than expected. Fantastic location! Would definitely recommend and will be back.

I had to leave :)) Wish Ide known before I arrived to bring water to drink. Grateful for the 2 small bottles provided free of charge but did need more.

Quirky and cosy with all the mod cons. Well designed interior with clear instructions and lots of storage places. Very convenient to have a bar/restaurant and cafe so close.

Such a shame the cafe next door doesn’t open on weekends. There is nothing else nearby. The bed space felt slightly cramped and claustrophobic until we learned to lock the door to that part of the cabin to remove that side panel.
