The house was exceptional, it beat our expectations. The rooms were perfect, the kitchen was well equipped and clean as we needed to cook and everything was in place. Their hospitality is great, they were understanding and responded when needed, and they were able to add us an extra hour to check out as we had an emergency.i would recommend and go there another time.
Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Inner Dowsing Lightship provides accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi.

We throughly enjoyed our 2 night stay on the Inner Dowsing Lightship, it is quirky, comfortable, very clean and beautifully restored. The hosts are friendly, kind and really helpful. We were blessed with sunshine so made use of the sunny deck, enjoying beautiful views of the Medway and Medway Bridge. You are within walking distance of beautiful Rochester although ubers are easy to come by if you don't fancy the walk back. There is a decent pub just a short walk alway where we enjoyed a reasonably priced meal. Loved our stay, thank you so much.

The old part round the High Street, Cathedral and Castle is fascinating with interesting shops and good dining. We ate at the Olé Tapas Restaurant, where the food was excellent and the owner and staff were friendly. All these locations are a short walk from each other.

Rochester has a castle and cathedral which are worth a visit. Parking is difficult in town but you can usually get a place on the Esplanade. It's not free. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the town with a wide variety of cuisine. We had a lovely Italian meal at Mama Mia's who kindly served us though we were a little late. Also The Cheese Room is a great place to eat but it's essential to book. You'll get a good cask ale at The Cooper's Arms and the locals will actually have a chat with you and give you recommendations for the town. We used our stay to go to Chatham Historic Docks. It is expensive but your ticket lasts for a year. We went on three consecutive days which was why we were visiting the area and still didn't see everything. We're hoping to go back before our tickets expire and explore the rest of the site. The Docks are superb, great for kids and adults alike and the food is very good when compared with other tourist sites. Make sure you see the ropemaking and the secret ship under the floor. Excellent. Parking is free on site. The submarine is fascinating but a bit tricky getting through the bulkheads. Make sure you visit the RNLI collection and this year there is a special exhibition marking 200 years of the founding of the RNLI. Also, take a little walk across the bridge in the centre of Rochester, it's really beautiful and has an interesting history.

If you like public houses go you’ll be in your element. There is a reasonable priced multi storey car park close by near the station
The castle and the cathedral are opposite each other but didn’t visit. They look very impressive especially in the evening from the pub Ye Arrow

We stayed for the Sweeps Festival, a celebration of traditional dance and music which sadly was spoilt a little by weather on one day, but if the indoor events don’t appeal there is a variety of bars and places to eat and alternative activities are a visit to a thousand year old castle and the 2nd oldest Cathedral in the UK, Guildhall Museum or a short drive away there is Chatham Historical Dockyard, and Royal Engineers museum.

Rochester is very charming.
Rochester is very charming. The High Street is very lovely with lots of quality second hand shops, if this is your thing. I was absolutely mesmerized by the castle. Well worth climbing the stairs all to the top, especially on a sunny day, the view is amazing. (check for opening times).
The cathedral is really beautiful, do go inside if you are there. You can just go in and explore the cathedral or do a guided tour (also check for opening times).
The town has a very rich history.
You could also choose do do a walking trail along the river.
The Royal Crown Pub has a lot of character and the food was really tasty.
This is the second stay we have had at this lovely old hotel and it was still as good as the first. It may be an old hotel but the room was very clean, spacious, comfortable and very good value for money. The receptionist is a very friendly, welcoming and helpful lady. The hotel is ideally situated in the middle of the old Rochester with plenty of restaurants to choose from and things of interest to see right on the doorstep. If you want to view Rochester, this is the hotel to come to.
The location is perfect for visiting Rochester. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable, with a fantastic bathroom.
The hotel staff were very professional and courteous, during check in and check out. And of course you can’t beat a Wetherspoons breakfast. Total Value For Money, for the stay.
Good size rooms, comfortable beds, close to the Rochester centre and castle/cathedral and rail station Staff was friendly. Decent hotel to stay for a few nights and I would stay again if in area.
