Located in the very heart of Edinburgh City Centre and a first for Scotland, The Wee Sisters Boatel is within walking distance of the delights Edinburgh has to offer only 10 - 15 minutes to the Grassmarket, The Royal Mile and The West End. The Wee Sisters Boatel is the ideal base for your stay. The Wee Sisters Boatel is a purpose built, permanently moored static wide beam houseboat so don’t worry if you haven’t got your sea legs, there are no currents or tides, sea / canal sickness is not an issue. She is 60 feet by 11 feet with 6 feet 10 inch in headroom, she can sleep up to 6 adults. The Wee Sisters Boatel has been awarded a 4 star luxury classification and grading. Luxury accommodation for up to 6 adults on board a private wide beam canal boat, fitted out to a stylish, high tech, modern standard.

On board you will also have access to a private mooring and two outdoor deck areas perfect for relaxing. All guests also have access to on land facilities that include clothes washing facilities (at an extra cost) as well as shower and toilet facilities. Although we try to make our boats as close to being like you are in an on land property there are some things that work slightly different to usual. As we live so close with nature we try to take care of our environment and cause as little impact as possible to the local ecosystem and therefore we are also an eco friendly business. You will find our water and waste systems work in a slightly different way as well as our heating and power sources. This will not impact your stay but is worth baring in mind that there may be an extra switch or button to press! Space on board is limited and at maximum capacity the boat may feel a little cramped. We therefore recommend bringing soft foldable luggage. We do not provide any parking but can recommend local parking facilities nearby. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Limo/town car service -
