Quayside charm

The location is super, right on the quay. The building is very old and charming. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Food is great, the menu is super, with lots of fish. The chef made special orders for breakfast. The quay and town have a great choice of alternative eating. The bathroom was good. The air conditioning worked very well, for heating as well as cooling. There are paid car parks a short walk away. Traffic is very quiet, out of season. There is a parking bay for an hour's free parking to unload. Accessibility in the building is poor. Corridors are narrow and low, and the stairway is steep and uneven, accessed through the kitchen. The bedroom needed maintenance - the bed moved while sitting up, because the headboard was loose. There was no hot water in the sink. The toilet macerator was noisy. The pub has no parking, and the local free parking fills up. The quay has early deliveries in large trucks. Despite the fame of Maldon oysters, we didn't find any anywhere!

Liked: Staff & service
When we arrived the staff were welcoming and friendly although booking in system a bit chaotic and we did not receive all information about servicing rooms on daily basis. Ran out of towels, clean crockery, coffees and no hand wash in bathrooms. Bathrooms not very clean and floors decidedly grubby. A real shame as perfect location and very nice staff, maybe management issue! Rod and Sue

Lovely Maldon trip.

Had an over-nighter with my old man. Comfy room, aircon, lovely view over the river... Delicious breakfast the following morning. Parking can be a bit iffy, but we found a space nearby... better from October, when all the regulations ease. The bar was well stocked and we had massive dinners! Plenty of shops a short walk away.

Historic pub in a great location

I really liked this place because its such an historic building in a fantastic location. I particularly liked that the building had been built in the 1600's - I had been reading Daniel Defoe's account of coming to Maldon in 1700 and eating turbot, which he said was very good in the town. I was pleased to find turbot on the menu at Fish on the Quay - maybe he stayed here! We had a lovely view of the sunrise over the river and the Thames barges outside. It was bliss to wake up to the sound of sea birds in the morning. The pub wasn't noisy at all. The landlady Babs couldn't be more welcoming.

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

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 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.
