Testimonials & Reviews
Tell your friends… This one is a MUST.
“Outstanding! 6 of us stayed 3 nights. The Castlerose is moored in the middle of everything…vibey yet tranquil. At 31 paces from the Wharf Pub beer garden the dining experience was flawless in the restaurant with a very short walk to our home away from home. So many dining options are at the doorstep. A 5 minute walk to the central hub of Manchester and great shopping. Steve was so accommodating and friendly. He took us on a canal cruise for a few hours on Sunday and we were so glad for the experience.”

A Fantastic Experience!
"We have just spent 3 nights and 4 days sailing up and down the Bridgewater Canal on Castlerose. Our 2 young boys have absolutely loved the experience and we have created some really special memories. Skipper Steve was brilliant! The beautiful boat is really spacious and has everything you could possibly need.... ”

Great modern accommodation, perfect location and fab for groups!
Whole boat was even nicer than the pictures showed. Showers in the modern bathrooms Great. Lots of extra little things supplied that made great little touches – various charging cables in the bedside table of the main bedroom, coffee, tea and milk and lots of fruit...

What a fab idea and lovely place to stay.
My best girl friends surprised me with a stay here when I was over on a trip from NZ. Cute and homely comfy and bang in the centre of great pubs and shopping. Love it!

A fantastic, unique and relaxing stay upon the Castlerose!
This is my second time staying on the Castlerose Boat and it wont be the last! The location is fantastic with everything on your doorstep for sightseeing, restaurants and bars!! The hosts Steph and Steve are so welcoming and gave me some great advice on places to eat and go to visit. The boat itself is amazing, it is unique, clean and cosy as well as being designed and finished to a very high standard. Next time I am going to book a cruise for my mums birthday which is in September which i think will be fantastic so we will definately be visiting again! I can not recommend the Castlerose highly enough. Thank you!
