Staycation specialists Sykes Holiday Cottages has something a little different to offer this summer - a quaint barge moored at Glasson Dock Marina in Lancashire. The Thomas O’Rourke has been renovated to offer families a unique experience without the hassle of having to navigate locks and waterways, with the owners naming the boat after their loved one.
The Thomas O’Rourke sleeps up to four guests and is complete with traditional features, including a porthole, galley-style kitchen, and deck, offering holidaymakers a sailor experience – a choice for couples or a family of four seeking a unique escape.
Surrounded by peaceful seawater, aspiring captains can relax in one of the reclining chairs in front of the log burner whilst listening to tunes of their choice, or the shipping forecast, on the barge’s SONOS speaker.
