Thirslet is a beautifully presented apartment with stunning views over the Blackwater Estuary, praised for its immaculate cleanliness, modern comfort, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting, proximity to local amenities, and friendly hosts.

Multiple guests described the property as spotless, immaculate, and well maintained, with one specifically noting it 'smelt amazing'. No negative comments were made about cleanliness.
The location is widely praised for its beautiful estuary views and peaceful setting, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. Some guests mentioned it is a bit remote and not directly in Maldon, and there were occasional comments about unexpected traffic or delivery noise.
Guests found the apartment comfortable, modern, and cosy, with spacious bedrooms and a warm atmosphere even in winter. The only minor concern was the need to keep curtains closed due to being overlooked by a neighbouring property.
The apartment is described as very well equipped for self-catering, with a modern kitchen and all essentials provided. Some guests would have preferred a dishwasher over a washing machine, and there was a mention of Nespresso pods not matching the machine, but overall satisfaction with facilities is high.
Guests appreciated the friendly and helpful hosts, and some noted the provision of coffee pods, though these may not always match the machine and are not guaranteed. No other specific gifts or extras were mentioned.

Nice location, place was clean and tidy. There was some noise in the mornings sounds like van loading. This was a good location as we needed to visit our relatives who lived in Malden and Althorne.

An ideal location for the two places we needed to visit, allowing us access to places to visit in between in this quiet part of Essex. The estuary view from the living room was excellent
