Hotels are all well and good, but sometimes it's fun to mix things up a bit.

If you're on the hunt for something a bit quirkier for your next weekend away, there's an adorable boat up for rent on Airbnb.

It's on the royal canal in Maynooth, just half an hour from Dublin but away from the hustle and bustle of the big smoke.

Maynooth barge

The entire barge is yours for the night and you can even arrange to take a trip down the river!

Inside there's a shabby chic vibe - it's nothing fancy, but there's a fireplace to keep you cosy.

You can also soak up some sunshine on deck, or take a walk to the nearby pubs, shops and restaurants.

It's €115 per night and sleeps two people, so it's €57.50 each.
