Jolly sailor fish on the quay
Staff very friendly and welcoming, food very good, good selection of fish dishes.
Location is brilliant, like going back in time seeing all the Thames barges and able to take a trip on them.
Only slight issue is the bathroom could do with a upgrade

Quirky room with nice view
We stayed for one night. Being an old pub the building has matured and shows it via the slight slope of some floors. Our room was small but perfectly adequate and we had a great view of the Hythe from our window overlooking the Thames barges. The room has a TV, internet access and a kettle with plenty of tea and coffee. The shower worked well and the bed was clean and comfortable which is pretty much all you need to know. We enjoyed celebrating my wife's birthday in Maldon and for the price we paid for the we didn't expect five star and our only complaint is the lack of car parking in the vicinity of the pub.

Two nights away.
Staying here was good. Location was fine. The room was functional and clean. Shower was not great lack power. Air conditioning was very useful but I did find the slight damp smell after use. Parking is an issue as no onsite parking, you can park outside the other pub down the road. Otherwise you have to park after 7pm on the roadside and move before 9am. You need to be able to climb steep stairs and be aware of low ceiling heights. But overall a pleasant stay.

Strange arrangement getting to and from your room. Clean and quiet, but the bathroom needs some work, wobbly toilet on a lean and it looks like it’s been replaced but no one could be bothered to tidy up where the old one was. And breakfast at 9am is just too late. In fairness, they did a work around with the evening meal to compensate, but overall an odd hotel. If you want a nice view though, go for it!

Our 1 Night Stay
We had an amazing 1 night stay. We had parked up the road just off high street (24 hour car park) as parking limited (permit only outside) at the pub but was easy to find car park and walk down to the pub was a couple of minutes. When we arrived in the pub we were welcomed by Babs and Summer. Summer showed us to our room, you have to go through a staff only area and as it is a pub the ceilings were low but we liked that as it makes the stay different. We were told all about the late night procedure once the pub is closed how you get in and out and given emergency numbers if needed. The stairs up were steep but that comes with staying in an old pub. Our room was lovely (room 3) had air con, nice comfortable bed and small but adequate bathroom with small bottles of shampoo, shower gel etc which is a nice touch. Water provided and tea and coffee biscuits in room.
We went for a stroll in Maldon and when we returned Ebony was at the bar, she was very friendly and welcoming. We sat outside overlooking the water. This pub is in a lovely setting. We had a great nights sleep and breakfast was amazing with a great choice, served again by Babs and Summer. Overall our stay was excellent and I couldn’t fault all the staff they were great and very friendly. We will be back to stay again.

Quirky but comfortable
Quirky and comfortable. Room was not level but expected in a pub this old
Radiator was very noisy so I turned it off which sorted it nicely
Green emergency lighting in room tended to light up the room too much
Lovely view from the room overlooking the quay which you can’t better
If you are driving, parking is very limited outside with just an hour between 9 and 7 pm. I got around this by parking from 6 pm to 10 am but it can fill quick
Plenty of car parks are available at cost nearby 10 min walk which have free motorcycle parking
Breakfast was good
