Built in 1929, Reminder offers an unusual and memorable venue for weekend stays, moored on Maldon's Hythe Quay. Ideally placed for exploring rural Essex with sea wall walks, a lovely High Street and riverside pubs. Mostly two night minimum stay, but requests for one night considered. Lots of places to eat very close by. If you would like a private dinner party on board, ask Steph about or chef service. Plenty of space on deck to enjoy the river views.

My husband Paul and I run a small charter company on several historic Thames barges based in Maldon. We have lived in the town for 28 years and love it to bits and love others to enjoy it too ! Although you may not meet us, we live very close by and can easily pop down to sort out any problems. You'll meet lots of our friends on the Quay, in the Queens Head or may see Paul digging the allotment opposite the pub. We leave the vessel ready for you on The joining evening with emergency contact phone numbers. Just shut the hatch when you leave.

Maldon is a beautiful and friendly town on the River, a very popular destination for a walk along the Prom or to visit one of the quayside pubs. The High Street, just round the corner from the quay, is well known for it's small individual shops, brewery tap rooms and a wide choice of restaurants. A short walk from the barge brings you out onto the salt marshes. Nearest train station is Witham (direct line from Liverpool Street Station, London). Then Bus or taxi to Maldon. 45 mins from Stansted and Southend airports. Parking in nearby public car park. Bike route no 1 goes right through town.
