SNUG 30ft NARROWBOAT WITH INDOOR FIREPLACE
If you fancy a staycation that offers something a little different, then you'll love this unique and romantic escape nestled among nature.
There are a number of walking trails around to lead you off into the beautiful surroundings, whether it be by foot, cycle, car or kayak. Otherwise some of Scotland's top national parks, historic monuments, golf courses, distilleries and restaurants are a short distance away. And the centre of Glasgow sits less than 7 miles away with regular bus services.
The whole of the boat is available for guests to enjoy as well as the jetty at the side and front of the boat.
Feel free to crank the bbq at the water's edge and sit back and relax. The bow and roof also make for great dinning and relaxation areas out in the sunshine. If you’d rather be snuggled up inside, then the Victorian wood burner turns Primrose into a cosy wee haven. There is a smart TV with a number of apps, such as Netflix, Amazon, I-players, YouTube, etc and board games to pass the time by, so pull out the sofa bed and get even more comfortable.
Guests have full access to the boat, jetty and free car park.
The surrounding towns and villages have ample amenities to offer from cafes, bakeries, restaurants, shops, etc. But if you don't want to stray too far, then the local retail park is only a 10 minutes walk from Primrose.
The boat is 23 minutes by car from Glasgow Airport or 46 minutes from Edinburgh Airport. 17 minutes from Glasgow Central Station by car or 1 hour and 6 minutes from Edinburgh Waverley Station. Glasgow City Centre is less than 7 miles away and can be reached via bus. There are regular bus services that can take you into the heart of Scotland.
Please note that this is a static stay.
Be advised that Primrose is a quirky and unique staycation for the adventurous type looking to experience life on the canal. Due to the boat’s naturally narrow design, the bed is a small double that tapers at one end to fit the shape of the stern. There is also a double pull-out sofa available for additional sleeping space.
Please note that the shower room is compact, measuring approximately 53.5 cm in width and 175 cm in height. The toilet area is also quite narrow and may feel snug for some guests, particularly those who are 6 feet tall or above, or who typically wear clothing above a UK size 14. The toilet is eco-friendly and waterless, designed to minimise environmental impact while still being functional and hygienic.
Due to the snug nature of the boat, it can comfortably accommodate up to 2 adults only and a small furry friend. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for more than 2 adults.
Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.
