Jolly Sailor- Fish on the Quay

Very friendly owner and staff great food and drink, we will stay there again , fully recommend a visit

The assistant manager was great & helpful. a new stater also gave very good customer service. The food and cocktail I had was delicious. Good Wi-Fi. Nice location. Room had lots of amenities. Bed was firm. Room warm. Pretty clean. Downsides, the place shared a name with another pub local - make sure to put in post code. It seems like the property has two names. As a solo female traveler perhaps I am more fussy than most but - parking isn’t guaranteed / offered by the bnb. The rooms are accessed via a staff area and it just feels a bit awkward. The room I stayed in (number 4) had a “private” bathroom, separate to the bedroom. There was a funny smell by the bedroom door in particular. I don’t like rooms that have windows that could be accessed or easily peered in from outside and this one while on the first floor, had roof access outside. I felt like the room wasn’t fully secure with a panel that looks like it could be accessed somehow. The private bathroom door is difficult to lock. In the morning I left at 8am and no one around, exit was via a marquee-overall the place is a struggle to get around with multiple bags and not somewhere I’d recommend for people with mobility challenges. Overall- I’m fussy but I would visit there again for the customer service and food, but wouldn’t stay as first choice.

A quaint old pub ideally located within easy walking distance of Maldon High Street. The bar/breakfast area was welcoming, and the staff were great. To get to the room I was staying in could be awkward if you were not nimble, due to the steep staircase from the staff area, but an enjoyable stay and a great breakfast. Very good value overall for a room in Maldon.

Friendly welcoming staff, unfortunately the room was very tired, cleaning was of poor standard, access to the room was through the pub kitchen and very steep stairs. No parking at the property, had to wait 20 minutes for a space to become available on the road.

Located in a beautiful area, with stunning views and excellent paths for walking. Charming building in the outside but needs a lot of TLC in the interior. The level of cleanliness in the room was below acceptable. However, not everything was bad: the restaurant was pleasant and the quality of the breakfast was really good. The staff was friendly and kind.

Very friendly staff and breakfast was amazing. If using Satnav type in Fish on The Quay Maldon as there's a Jolly Sailor in Heybridge where we mistakenly went first. Great place overall

This property is wonderful, from the minute we arrived till the end of our stay, would definitely come again. The staff make this a fantastic experience warm and welcoming from the minute you walk through the door. Nothing was to much trouble thank you so much.

Bar and restaurant area lovely atmosphere staff great. Rooms could do with updating

To be situated right on the quayside with the view I had from my room window was well worth the money for a nights stay. The room was small but adequate with all amenities in place. Steep staircase and low wood beam cielings are typical for the age and style of the building but had great character. The staff were very welcoming and and food was excillent. A full, very large english breakfast with excillent local sauages went down very well indeed.
