Neighborhood highlights

This is one of several listings for the same boat. I also have 2 double rooms & a rooftop tent and occasionally host cruises and parties. Airbnb limits listings to fixed postcodes and as a continuous cruiser I move frequently. Please be flexible re the published listing location. However all summer I am in and around Bath usually no more than 10 minutes walk from the train and bus station.

I like to spend time with my guests
My floaty home "Freedom" is a 70ft widebeam canal boat which I share with my Burmese partner Pyae. We are continuously cruising in and around Bath & not always moored where listed in Airbnb PLEASE CHECK LOCATION BEFORE BOOKING. Check "freedomcanalstudio" website for location & with me directly. Parties, concerts, dinners, yoga, meditation, retreats, music and other creative events are possible in addition to b&b. Make use of the creative space.
