Ocean Mist Leith

10/10 Excellent

"It was a unique stay on a boat in Leith that had clearly been lovingly restored and maintained. We loved our room and the decor. The staff were outstanding from the moment we came aboard, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable about the area and very attentive. We especially thought that the young waiter at the bar who made our cocktails was really lovely, cheery and funny. There was a very small issue with our room which was quickly resolved but we were delighted to be given 2 mugs as a ‘sorry for the inconvenience’ which is a lovely memento of our stay and a testament to how really lovely the staff were. We will certainly be back."
