Unfortunately cannot give less than one star. Positive note is that staff were very friendly and breakfast was very good. Grade 2 listed building so they cannot change the odd room access and narrow stairs, but it could be clean and freshly painted which it certainly is not. Room 2 has a good view of the bay, but nothing else. Room is very small small. Cheaply painted white and where the white matt emulsion walls have been marked, they have been painted in patches with white silk, so this stands out and looks messy. Brackets on furniture and clothes rack in place to fasten to fittings to the walls have all pulled out of wall. Skirting board near "bathroom" fell off the wall and I had to push it back in place. Door lock stuck regularly. "Bathroom is a partition wall box created in the original bedroom. "Bathroom" door handle old, and has large wood screw in the side of it holding it on. This sticks out by approx an inch and is a hazzard. Ceiling has been replaces and has been very cheaply artexed, so thinly that the plasterboard tape is visible through the artex. Bathroom wall behind cystern and also near toilet roll is dirty and there are brown streaks on door frame inside bathroom. Trim around base of shower is missing, and from floor to shower entry is plain bare wood with mastic on it that previously held a trim on. There is also a hole approx 30 cm long and 15 cms high in the shower base with bare pipes entering under the shower base and showing clear access under the floor. Did not want to use the shower as it has clearly seen better days. Grout was brown in many places. Toilet seat loose and moving when used. Worst of all was black painted cupboards in bedroom with strips of paint missing and a mirror hooked to top cupboard door. When I opened the cupboards to store suitcases, they were full, from floor to ceiling with offcuts of plaster board, presumably from the ceiling, and also an old sink hand basin. Clearly the owner thinks so little of his guests that he couldn't even be bothered to get rid of this building rubble. If we had had somewhere else to stay or the time to look for an alternative accomodation, then we would have. I did bring the condition of the room to the attention of the staff and they just said they know it was bad, and that they had told the owner many times, but he doesn't seem to care and won't spend anything to put it right. I was told that he makes his money from the pub and meals and the rooms are just a bit extra. I asked them to pass my comments on to him, but next day, when we were leaving, there had been no response. Staff were friendly, though I thought they were a bit demoralised. Breakfast is good, but you can go in and buy that on its own. Do not stay here no matter what. Maldon is a beautiful town and I will go back, but not to this place.
