Our stay on the cosy boat in Merkem was absolutely delightful! The terrace offered stunning views over the brook lands and was the perfect spot for our morning coffee, The kids loved the nearby waterpark, and we appreciated the bikes available for a fun ride around the town, Highly recommended for families!

It is not mentioned anywhere that there are two boats to sleep on. In addition, there is a café on the second boat between 2 and 7 p.m. We were 12 people and there was far too little cutlery, plates and glasses to properly cover the table, plus it is all a mess of crockery. Eating on board is almost impossible due to a lack of space. We will then have dinner. It is all not really cleaned.

On arrival we were especially shocked by the entrance you had to go through a hatch everything is old that is no problem but that it is just dirty and dirty. The trash cans were in the bathroom and toilet just full of the previous people the bottles drank. the previous occupants were still in the box bed

Before the start of the trip, we noticed that the booking was for 2 ships, this is not in the offer. But we accepted that and didn't think it was a bad thing. When we arrived, however, the main boat was not the pictured boat with the terraces, but the second with a very small terrace.

On pictures from Google Maps, we also noticed before the trip that a ship had opening hours. This was also questioned at Belvilla and the answer was: "Yes, these are available to you during your stay. Nobody will disturb you."

This was not the case, Saturday and Sunday a ship was opened from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and drinks and food were served. The crowning glory was that on Sunday a camera team came to film the boat and the owner and he told us to be quiet for this time.

We also found that both boats smelled very musty and were very dirty. In our opinion, there are also major flaws on the boat with the terraces and we were glad that we weren't there with children.

In addition, there are only dry toilets on the main boat. Proper toilets are only available on the boat with decks and day trippers

The icing on the cake was that a chair collapsed on which one of us was sitting. We reported this and the host/owner arrived with a bill for 42 euros which we then failed to pay. Of course he deducted this from the deposit. It should be said that this is a chair that day tourists also sit on and the question arises whether they should have paid for the chair, due to the overall condition of the two boats, a previous defect in the chair cannot be ruled out. Due to the overall situation, 5 people in our group decided to leave on Sundays, the others stayed until Monday.

Ideal for families, it is undisturbed, absolutely quiet, earth atmosphere in a nice house dismantled boat, we were at minus 10 degrees with 13 people there, it was cozy warm and comfortable. Attractions There are no end within 30 km We can imagine that to make time for swimming in summer temperatures. In any case, a stay-character experience for all family members.

Remarks

Tip from the houseowner

via a narrow staircase to the bottom you will come to the cosy living area (sitting corner, library, dining table) open kitchen (Aga cooker). The ship is equipped with sun panels. The St. Antoine is next to Isera, where there is more sleeping possibilities for 6 persons and a simple shower, it is the home harbour where you and others are always welcome for a drink at the bar, tourist information or normally a pleasant chat: there is always something to do.
