There’s a HUGE 6 berth luxury canal boat on Castlefield Locks you can stay in with your mates

You can now enjoy a staycation like no other in a luxury canal boat in the heart of Castlefield Locks. 

Courtesy of Prestige Worldwide – founded and run by friends and business partners Erin and Harry with the aim to create something a little different – the city now has perhaps the boujiest barge to ever grace Manchester’s waters.

The Vätten Hüs accommodates up to six guests in two plush king-sized bedrooms, with additional sleeping space in the main collective area.

It features a large, open-plan kitchen-dining and living room – intended for sharing and celebrating, of course –  with rich furnishings and an exclusive outdoor seating on the deck, perfect for tranquil autumn nights.

Harry and Erin also partnered up with local florists Frog Manchester for the most exquisite floral displays that are found suspended over the lavish kitchen island and adorn both bedrooms.

The entire boat has been designed for well-being, comfort and ease, taking care of every detail from its precise location, minimalistic design and deluxe elements.

Interior designer Claudia Chez said of the boat: “The Vätten Hüs interior design is modern style with clean, crisp lines strategically softened by French Art Deco hints.

“Art Deco represented luxury, glamour and exuberance back at the 1920’s, and this is subtlety expressed throughout the boat with gentle undulating curves, scalloped furniture and bronze details all on top of a light oak herringbone floor.”

Now fully complete and on the water, the Vätten Hüs’s diary is open and ready for visitors – though for insurance purposes, the boat cannot be moved.
