My boyfriend and I stayed here last august, from the word go the service and correspondence we received was fantastic. We had in depth texts and email informing us of how to access the boat and when it was free. We stayed in the Mallard which we found cost, comfy and clean. There was wine left in the fridge with...

I had a great time staying on the Lily May. It was fun, clean and comfortable. The location was great just 5 mins from the city centre and you can access the trams around Sheffield. It was also quiet with little people traffic, and a nice place for breakfast on the quay.. I nearly did not book this boat after... More

If ur not a fan of extreme heat then I advise u do not stay here in summer. It was rediculously hot and with fleece lined walls in the cupboard of a bedroom it was unbearable, shower didn't work properly and just spat out freezing cold water during our entire 3day stay, toilet didn't flush properly, had to keep the...

We stayed one night on our way to a wedding in the North of England. I used to live in Sheffield and this makes a great alternative to all the chain hotels that dominate Victoria Quays. We stayed on the Lily May, and loved the cosiness of the 1st bedroom (where you could look out onto the basin in the... More

This is a narrow boat in Victoria Quays within a short walk of Sheffield City centre. It was easy to find, peaceful and convenient. The photographs of the boat were what sold it to us - however the boat wasn't as luxurious as we expected from those photos. Not to detract though, it was an enjoyable stay with nice touches... More

We booked this as a bit of a differant break. We spend a lot of time in hotels due to our work. We wanted something a bit differant where we could do out own thing. This was just what we wanted, a very nice relaxing break. If you want a hotel with all the facilities don't do it. But if... More

For the 86 pounds I paid for an overnight stay this is extremely dissapointing. If you can book for around 40 to 50 you will get what you paid for. It is old and plain to say the least. The location is the only positive I have to say. If I am reimbursed at leats 30 I will reconsider but... More

Staying on a canal boat sounds an unusual choice for a 6foot6 business man but I can assure you that it was one of the best nights sleep I've had. For the last ten years I have travelled continuously around the world staying in some of the finest hotels but I can assure you that if the opportunity arises to... More

A night on a barge in Sheffield - nothing like a normal hotel, but made a great change. Spotlessly clean and tidy, with nice homely touches.
