A 10-minute walk from Glasgow city centre, Gerda of Glasgow is a beautiful dutch barge with all the comforts of home.

Suitable for up to four people, guests can enjoy an open plan kitchen/living space with a cosy log-burning fire, two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one with a shower and another with a bath) in a peaceful yet convenient location.

The space:

Built in 2017, Gerda of Glasgow is a unique place to stay in one of Scotland s most vibrant cities.

Close to the city centre and transport network, it is a fantastic base to explore Glasgow’s museums, art galleries, restaurants and nightlife. The Theatre Royal is less than a 15 minute walk and the Royal Concert Hall is just another few minutes from there.

If nature is more your thing, then just enjoy the ducks and swans paddle by as you take a relaxing drink on the rear deck of the Gerda - or go for a walk to the Claypits - a nature reserve with wooded walks and paths running alongside the Forth and Clyde Canal, between the Firhill and Applecross basins not a few minutes walk in the other direction.

Ask about the canoe we have on the pontoon which you are free to use for those wanting to explore the waterway at their own pace.

A few steps away from the boat is Ocho Cafe, a good spot for brunch or lunch with some excellent vegan choices available. Ocho Spa is a great choice for all your pampering needs, whether that is some beauty treatments before a night on the town or a relaxing massage (booking is advised).

Gerda is a fixed accommodation and unfortunately is not available for touring.

Guest access:
During your stay, you will have full privacy.

Interaction with guests:
We live at Speirs Wharf and will meet guests on arrival when possible. Alternatively, a code for the key safe will be given and a contact number for any questions you may have.

We are excited to also offer a lovely four-berth pop-top VW T6 Transporter campervan for rent to guests looking to extend their holiday in Scotland or who simply want a cool way of getting around while based in Glasgow.

Whether you want an adventure exploring the highlands and islands, cruising the North Coast 500, or just following your nose through some of the world's best scenery, you will find the VW Transporter T6 perfect for your needs.
