Edinburgh canal boat lets you spend the night on board floating in the city centre

An Edinburgh canal boat is offering tourists and locals the chance to spend the night on board their adorable property.

Recognised as a four star self catering accommodation, the 'Four Sisters' gives visitors the experience of living on the water, while still being in the city centre.

Operating out of a beautifully renovated canal boat, the barge is permanently moored in the Lochrin Basin, and is tucked away behind the hustle and bustle of Fountainbridge.

Sleeping up to six people, the boat has two cabin bedrooms, as well as a surprisingly large living area that also contains a sofa bed.

Decorated with a very fresh and modern feel, the property includes free wifi on board as well as a fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar.

Proving to have excellent reviews on Booking.com, the boat has a 9/10 rating, with the luxury nautical feel described as "quirky and cosy" by visitors.

In addition, the boat also has a small decking area with outdoor furniture so guests can enjoy the beautiful views along the canal.

The bedrooms (Four Sisters)

A description of the site adds: "The two separate cabin bedrooms are elegantly decorated, and there are double bedrooms and a children’s bunk bedroom.

"The boat also has a flat-screen TV with streaming services. A small shower room is also found on board. Washing and laundry facilities are available on-site."
