5 stars all round Our family trip was a huge success. The facilities aboard the boat were brilliant, the kitchen, the shower, all lovely and in perfect working order. Even though it trip was in October we were really cosy. It was absolutely spick and span also. Our host was wonderful. Helpful, and warm, Natalie made sure we had all the boat specific info we needed to make sure our stay was all "smooth sailing" (sorry, couldn't resist) - but it was easy to manage. We took advantage of a couple of add ons for breakfast and a trip on our boat down the canal. Both were lovely and I would recommend.

Our family of five had a wonderful stay at this charming boathouse. While the space is compact, it was thoughtfully designed and the bedding was comfortable. Storage was our only real challenge, as fitting luggage for five proved tricky — though we admittedly didn’t pack light. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed for light cooking, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent. Hot water was plentiful but limited in duration, so shorter showers worked best. Overall, it was a delightful and memorable experience — a unique stay that combined comfort with a touch of adventure.

Beautifully appointed boat. It was a great location - walked and took busses easily. We were there during fringe so it was great to be staying just on the edge of activities and have the peace and quiet once home. Especially mornings on deck having coffee and items from the breakfast basket that we ordered (fresh fruit clotted cream scones sourdough bread muesli jam butter and milk)- that was great to have but even if needed anything else, Tesco around the corner and some good little cafe/coffee shops as close. A few little hiccups that can happen with a rental but Udam was very helpful/attentive/and had some great recs. It was a great and unique way to stay. The Camillia is a beauty. Wish we had more time in Edinburgh.

Lovely little canal boat to spend a night in Edinburgh. Situated within walking distance of the city centre, the accommodation was clean and comfortable.

This location is perfect to see Edinburgh. However, the description of the lodging as a luxury is a bit misleading. You are required to put your toilet paper after you urinate into a trashcan, which was a bit discomforting. Also, we saw a number of hand to hand drug deals out of the window of the boat. The beds were comfortable, but I would call this more camping on the water and not luxury accommodation.
