The Four Sisters Boatels - Houseboats

Lovely accomodation with a really helpful host. We were worried about the cold and the shower - the boat ended up being really warm and cosy, and you have access to a showerblock within walking distance that is kept to a high condition. Deserves the four stars it has without a doubt.

Loved our stay at the Four Sisters. Three nights in Edinburgh celebrating the college graduations of my son and his girlfriend. We arrived early and were able to drop our luggage and go across the way for coffee in a little plant shop. The first evening we walked to the Royal Mile, though it was very steep so when we returned for our castle tour the following morning we took a Bolt. There are a couple stores nearby to pick up eggs and milk and whisky! We also took the bus from very nearby to the Scottish Museum. Tap and go. Had some trouble getting the tv to work the first night and when we saw the staff the next day mentioned it on our way out of the Basin. It was fixed when we returned for the evening. The living area was comfortable, even for my 6 ft. 3" son. We played cards into the night and really appreciated that smart streaming speaker where we all chose all kinds of music. It was an adventure to stay on this boat in the canal. We also ordered the arrival basket which was handy, as well as a bottle of Prosecco. The one recommendation I would make is to note an actual address near the Basin to provide to your Bolt or Uber or taxi.

Ideal for a family of 5. With 3 cabins and a living room , there’s plenty of space . Our hosts were really kind and welcoming Lot of buses around that can bring you everywhere in the city. Don’t forget to buy the daily family pass directly in the bus!
