We stayed here for one night this week, a very quirky place to stay overlooking the Medway, absolutely beautiful sunrise in the morning. Warm and cosy and a comfy bed, I’ve taken off one star as it’s not clear there is no breakfast included and I think it’s overpriced without anything offered and when you read other reviews they say how good the breakfast is so I was a bit disappointed but we found somewhere by the cathedral that was delicious 😋. I probably wouldn’t stay here again but it was a good stay. Be aware that although it says free parking you have to park in a car park for the marina and then you have a 5 minute walk and very steep steps upto your room, unfortunately I had a bad knee so was a bit difficult but I managed it.

Very scenic location and a fascinating old boat. The owners are very friendly and make you feel at home. Breakfasts are superb. If you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs as noise from the motorway starts at 5 in the morning. Very good pub, the White Horse, in walking distance with excellent food (try the Kentish smokies), good beer, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere.

The old ship has been lovingly converted into a highly original accommodation, the surrounding water has an immediately calming effect (despite the motorway bridge nearby!), and you can experience the change between high and low tide. The couple who own it are very nice, and because the two rooms are located separately on the upper deck, you don't have the feeling of intruding into someone else's private space, as in some other B&Bs. The breakfast is very plentiful. Highly recommended!
