    Recommend for a hurried visit

    Welcoming staff, spacious room, the lady at reception was incredibly friendly and shared great local information, and the bar was conveniently seconds away from our lovely tea area.

    Everything was first-rate.

    great stay with minor issues

    The room offered excellent air-conditioning, ideal for the hot weather we experienced. The breakfast selection was extensive and every item was served piping hot.

    The location could be better signposted for first-time visitors.

    limited dining separation
    built-up surroundings

    Spacious and bright family room with three beds was a highlight, making our short stay very comfortable. The on-site restaurant is separate from the accommodation, ensuring a quiet atmosphere, while the proximity to take away options was convenient. Breakfast offered a good variety, including freshly cooked meals, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Free parking added to the overall value of the experience, making it a practical choice for families visiting the area.

    uncomfortable room
    dining issues

    The check-in process went smoothly, friendly staff helped me settle in quickly. Room had clean towels and decent tea-making facilities. The location is convenient for exploring Clacton-on-Sea. the air conditioning didn’t work throughout my stay, making the room uncomfortable. a keycard issue meant I got locked out, requiring another trip to the reception. The room showed signs of wear with scuff marks and stains, needing some attention. Dining was hit-or-miss. breakfast cleanliness issues and lack of fresh options left me disappointed. I expected more from the meals based on previous visits. I sincerely appreciated the lovely staff who were always ready to assist despite being short-staffed.
