United Kingdom“The boat was fabulous. The area around, steps away from the town, restaurants and some great independent shops. We found staying here was 100% better than a hotel. I know if in Skipton again, this is the place I would want to stay.”

**Please Note** Roxanne has recently replaced a boat which has now been sold, so although the owner and location remain the same some of the reviews are for the old boat.**
Roxanne is a 33ft by 10ft Searay Sundancer and its my hope that she offers all guests a unique experience for your stay in the centre of Skipton . Sleeps 4 in one king size very comfortable bed, one small double and a small shower/toilet room. Although the beds can be made private from each other via curtains, they are not separate bedrooms.
Roxanne great fun boat, is completely off-grid and self contained but please allow for your party the fact she is a boat and has limitations in space over a Standard Self-Catering Apartment.
The price is to rent the entire boat for up to 4 people but although Roxanne is a fully operational vessel it isn't possible to move the boat off its mooring on your stay.
We will be here to meet you on your arrival, show you around Roxanne and leave you to enjoy your stay onboard, moored on Springs Canal, a branch off the Leeds & Liverpool.
Sleeps up-to 4 Adults (see above).
Central Heating.
Log Burning Stove on the back deck (logs supplied) ((the stove won't be installed until mid November))
TV's in both Bed areas.
TV on the back deck.
TV in the kitchen/sitting area.
Alexa Bose Speakers around the boat.

Fridge Freezer.

Well behaved dogs are welcome however we kindly ask that they stay on big back deck area only, which is where you will likely spend most of your time. Please let us know if you are bringing a dog when booking .
We used to run a small narrowboat Holiday hire business until 2022 . But now offer The Boat as static stay in the centre of the fantastic market town , Skipton
What's not to love about Skipton? Immense history, a rich culture, independent shops, food & drink places galore, a famous market, an iconic castle, stunning countryside and, perhaps most of all, friendly, fiercely proud and passionate Yorkshire people.
