Inner Dowsing Lightship

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.
