Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: On a sunny day, the stay was excellent. Lovely to wake up to a stunning view of the river with Rochester castle and cathedral in the background. Having a coffee on the deck, in the sun was bliss. Very clean, comfortable bed, kettle, tea, bath with nice shower gel etc. Hosts were very friendly and amenable.
Negative: Not much to dislike, but as the room was small, there is no cupboard or drawers for clothes. Be aware though that there are steep steps to the top deck.

Negative: There is nothing not to like but some knifes and forks for take-away meals and an iron would be useful.

Positive: View was beautiful.
Negative: The water was very hit and miss, and more than one teaspoon and maybe a small fridge, would have been useful.

Positive: We stole one night away from London and were rewarded with the most breathtaking views from our floating cabin on the Medway. From the deck, we looked straight across to the spire of Rochester Cathedral and the turrets of the Castle - a magical backdrop. This grand old lady of a ship, once working to keep sailors safe in the Lincolnshire Wash, is now retired from those duties but still hard at work offering travellers a unique and welcoming berth. As if on cue, a double rainbow greeted us on arrival, dazzling the sky for over 20 minutes after a sudden downpour - the perfect start to our stay.
Negative: As there is no breakfast available, a tiny mini-fridge under the kettle table would be welcome. So guests could keep fresh milk, juice, yoghurt etc. chilled. Having said that, you can get a delicious breakfast/brunch nearby, and a warm Italian welcome, at Beantown, Rochester, just a few minutes drive from the marina.
Summary: Breathtaking views on the Medway from a unique, historic venue 🌈 🌅✨⚓️
