Floating Retreat: Glasgow's Hidden Gem - Urban Life Meet Canalside Tranquility

Discover a unique urban retreat aboard Gerda of Glasgow, a beautifully appointed Dutch barge moored just a 10-minute stroll from Glasgow's bustling city centre. 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.

Built in 2017, Gerda of Glasgow provides a distinctive base to explore one of Scotland's most vibrant cities. Immerse yourself in Glasgow's rich cultural tapestry - world-class museums, captivating art galleries, diverse restaurants, and electric nightlife are all within easy reach. Culture enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall, both less than a 20-minute walk away.

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.

Just steps from Gerda, you'll find Ocho Cafe, an ideal spot for brunch or lunch with excellent vegan options. For those seeking relaxation, Ocho Spa offers a range of pampering treatments - perfect for preparing for a night out or unwinding after a day of sightseeing (booking advised).

During your stay, you'll enjoy complete privacy on board Gerda, your fixed accommodation in this prime location.

We're typically available to greet guests upon arrival, but we also provide a secure key safe for flexible check-ins. We're always just a phone call away for any questions or assistance you might need.

For guests looking to extend their Scottish adventure, we offer a fully-equipped, four-berth VW T6 Transporter campervan. Whether you're drawn to the rugged beauty of the Highlands, the winding roads of the North Coast 500, or simply want to explore Scotland's breathtaking scenery at your own pace, our campervan provides the perfect blend of comfort and freedom. Ask us for details and pricing to create your ideal Scottish getaway.

A cosy stay

Loved our stay on board Gerda, everything that we needed and more! Loved the cosy evenings with the log burner. The location is a quiet haven near enough to the city to walk or use the subway. Jonathan met us on our arrival and was very attentive when we had questions about our stay. There is so much to see and do in Glasgow. Thank you for a great stay.

Vacation on Gerda

Staying on Gerda was a lot of fun for a week! Had a very livable living room and sleeping quarters and full kitchen! The owners are very attentive, hospitable and wonderful people. The neighborhood is very quiet and allowed us to sleep in every day we were there. A little walk to the center of town (15-20 minutes) but very close to a couple great coffee shops, Ocho and C7, which we enjoyed during our stay.

Great location close to amenities

It had everything we needed. The log fire was easy to use and made the boat very cosy. Double bed very comfortable and good quality bedding. Hosts on hand if we had any issues but we did not need them. We most definitely would love to visit again.

Gerda is the best!

What an adventure finding a barge in the middle of Glasgow. We had so much fun! My son loved looking for fish and feeding the ducks while my husband and I enjoyed a glass and listened to music. She is a treasure for sure :)

LOVED our stay on Gerda!

The Gerda houseboat is a truly unique and elegant place to stay in Glasgow. Jonathan and Chris have outfitted it with everything you could need, from Tupperware for leftovers, eco-friendly bath products, to travel guides and extra outlet converters. They even stocked the fridge with a few food essentials and have a whiskey tasting bar! In addition, there are lots of great restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk, a nearby subway stop, and a wonderful coffee shop right at the wharf. We can’t recommend Gerda or its hosts more highly.

Memorable Glasgow Stay

Thanks Jonathan, for our lovely stay on the gorgeous Gerda! Quiet, safe, clean and stocked with loads of comforts for adults and teens (WiFi works great, Netflix, games, kitchen). Surprisingly spacious, and the beds were really comfortable, delivering a restful night's sleep after full days exploring Scotland. Minutes from all the neighborhoods, and transportation stations, whether walking or taking a car service. And don't worry about warmth in the winter - the heaters and fireplace work great! A unique experience that we'll always treasure.

We loved Glasgow and Gerda! I'll admit I was a little apprehensive about living on a boat for 5 days, but I had nothing to worry about. Even with 4 people and our luggage and accumulated souvenirs, we had plenty of space. Gerda is very stable--you can hardly tell you're on the water, except that you can look out the portholes and see the beautiful canal and the seabirds wheeling in the sky. Jonathan was super responsive and easy to communicate with. We had a few questions about the water and waste systems, which were answered speedily. You do need to minimize your time in the shower, but it was no problem, even for our teenagers. Beds are very comfortable; kitchen has a sizable fridge and plenty of quality dishes, drinkware, and cutlery; one of the bathrooms even has a tub! This was a great place for all of us, but would be especially well suited for a family with younger kids--many thoughtful touches made it clear the hosts know how much a houseboat appeals to children. Glasgow has so much to do and see, and a scrappy energy that we found exhilarating. We're already talking about a return visit! Most things we wanted to see were a 15- to 20-min walk away from Gerda (closest subway stop is about 10-15 minutes' walk, so it doesn't save you too much time or steps), but we enjoyed getting exercise and seeing the city as locals would. When we needed a break from walking, it was easy to call a taxi to meet us at the wharf gates. Highly recommend this wonderful, welcoming property.

Get thee to gorgeous Gerda!

Finding this unique gem was the highlight of our trip! In a fantastic location, the boat is beautifully restored and very comfortable - especially important for my older parents. The location was fantastic and the owners were incredibly kind and helpful, even bringing over a bottle of wine to toast our celebration! This was an unmatched experience!

Loved our Floating Cabin in Glasgow

The houseboat was so comfortable and nice for us during our stay. The wood burning fireplace was a huge help with the cold night and was a great nice end to each of our travel days. the access to the boat was a little difficult with the security barriers to the wharf but once we got used to it was ok.

Dream come True

Booked as surprise as I always dreamed of waking up on a canal boat on my 50th birthday, and was every bit as magical as I imagined. Ger-da was our floating home from home, a wee hidden gem in Glasgow, such peace and tranquility so close to the centre of my favourite city. Thanks to Michael and Claire the hosts for their help and support to make a dream come true.
