From €229 per night
Sleeps: 2

Even though this former lifeboat has long been decommissioned, it is certainly not out of service. Moored in the harbour at Harlingen, the same location as the lighthouse and crane, the vessel has been transformed into a stylish and cosy romantic hideaway. For an extra fee, the boat can be cast off by a private captain.

When you said you had contacts in the national press we didn't know what to expect, but here we are a few weeks down the line with a pleasing review in the Guardian, all thanks to you.

Heather Robinson, 10 George Street, England

The depth, breadth and generosity of advice from the Editor has a value far greater than the listing price. Thank you for sharing!
