Joshua’s Rest, Maldon

Maldon's riverside setting on the Blackwater Estuary makes it a natural base for exploring Essex's maritime heritage, independent shops and coastal walks. The Blue Boar sits nearby; further afield, Colchester's castles and museums, Essex villages and the shoreline all reward day trips. Joshua's Rest sits at the heart of this historic town, a characterful medieval property that retains period details throughout while functioning as modern group accommodation.

The house sleeps 10 across five bedrooms and five bathrooms—three king-size rooms, a twin, and a study with a sofa bed for flexibility. Living spaces work well for groups: a sociable kitchen handles everything from casual breakfasts to larger gatherings, sitting areas suit quiet evenings or conversation, and there's a dedicated games room. Bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and electricity are all provided. This is a historic building, so original features need sensible care, particularly where children are involved.

You have the whole property to yourselves. No smoking is permitted. Check-in is after 16:00 and checkout before 10:00.
