Inner Dowsing Lightship
Medway Bridge Marina, Manor Lane, Rochester, ME1 3HS, United Kingdom – Excellent location - show map
Lovely location right on the River Medway with views across to the castle and the cathedral. Lots of wildlife to view. The welcome we received was warm and friendly. The lightship was quirky and there's a lovely upper deck to sit out on in good weather looking across the river. Breakfast was continental and plenty of it plus freshly made pancakes and fresh coffee. The breakfast room was very large and very nautical. All in all, a very pleasant stay.
