Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- Attached to Luigi's Al Fresco, a beloved local Italian restaurant
- Genuine 17th-century character with exposed beams and four-poster beds
- Located directly on Market Hill, steps from Maldon's high street shops
Brzi pregled: A charmingly creaky historic townhouse that smells faintly of garlic and expensive soap, perfect if you prioritize pasta over absolute silence.
Pregledano od @thatgingerabroad_: I stayed here for a quick romantic getaway and it was exactly what we needed. The room had so much character with the exposed beams and that incredible four-poster bed. We spent the whole evening in our robes just relaxing. Highly recommend for couples!

- You are a foodie who wants to roll into bed after a heavy Italian meal

5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što krenete
💡The shower heads in some rooms are mounted bizarrely low—great for hobbits, bad for Vikings.
💡The 'Bridal Suite' is often used as a standard upgrade for regular guests if it's empty.
💡You might get a complimentary sherry or port in your room (a nice old-school touch).
💡The car park exit onto Market Hill is blind; use the mirror or have a passenger spot for you.
💡WiFi signal struggles to punch through the thick 400-year-old walls in some corners.
