This floating haven offers all the comforts of home with a dash of nautical charm.
Perfect for up to three guests, Gerda boasts an inviting open-plan kitchen and living area, warmed by a cosy log-burning fire. Two comfortable bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms (one with a shower, the other with a luxurious bath) ensure privacy and convenience.
Outdoors
For nature lovers, Gerda offers the best of both worlds. Enjoy your morning coffee on the rear deck, watching ducks and swans glide by, or venture to the nearby Claypits Nature Reserve. This urban oasis offers wooded walks and serene paths along the Forth and Clyde Canal, just minutes from your floating home.
Feeling adventurous? Ask about our complimentary canoe, perfect for exploring the waterway at your own pace.

Wonderful respite after dealing with the chaos of the city traffic construction that even overwhelmed our GPS. Challenging entrance into road adjacent to Gerda, but worth it!
