    There is a range of attractions to suit all tastes.

    There is a range of attractions to suit all tastes. If you like history, there are self guided audio trails, museums devoted to the naval history and military signficance of the napoleonic and first and second world war. I came for the photographic opportunities, with massive container ships, sailing boats and the potential for glorious sunrises over the ocean. It does look a bit run down in places and I was a bit apprehensive, but everyone was very friendly, and I would sum it up as an unspoilt gem, from an earlier, more relaxed era.

    Some lovely old buildings surrounded by industrial complexes. Every horizon you can’t avoid the super tank loading cranes and other industries. If your a real ale fan, unfortunately there is very little. The Hanover burnt down so the owners opened a pop up beer shop near by. It was the only decent pint I could find. The Alma bar and rooms had an excellent atmosphere and food, but the beer is dreadful and expensive.

    I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely Harwich was, there was lots of history in the old town and pretty little streets. There was not much in the way of restaurants or coffee shops but what was there was good. I ate at the Alma Inn.

    During the summer months Harwich has a great deal to offer as it is by the sea, near a lovely beach which stretches to Dovercourt, and has a long maritime history. It has a new museum, upgraded cafes and park.

    I had no idea until we spent some time there yesterday what an interesting and historic place Harwich is. Was particularly moved by the sculpture of the "kindertransport" children by the halfpenny pier (Jewish children sent by their parents from the NL to the UK to save them from the concentration camps). Would like to explore further.

    The hotel room was, Okay, bed was hard, pillow hard, cupboards falling off, only 2 hangers, local uses of the bar were very rude and aggressive towards us, making our stay very uncomfortable. Hotel is in a built up street.

    Property is exactly as pictured and very clean and cozy. Absolutely love the hotel-quality bedding and towels, made the stay feel so luxurious and great value for money. Although located at the port where there might not be as many activities, it is reasonably close to many attractions like Clacton Pier and Essex. Everyone in my family kept saying they would miss the place once we left and honestly we do! The games available also made the nights we spent more fun for us! Would love to stay again! Definitely highly recommend it!

    The house was beautifully decorated with some lovely period features, extremely clean & very well-appointed. It was also very well positioned, being just yards from the seafront and the rest of historic Harwich. Thanks must go to our host, who was extremely accommodating, even going as far as to ask how we wanted the bedrooms making up!

    The owner, Jayne, is lovely and made sure we had a really nice stay in Harwich. From restaurant recommendations and umbrellas to extra milk for tea, nothing was too much trouble. the location between Harwich and Dovercourt is excellent, the en-suite twin room was ideal for our requirements, and breakfast was delicious.

    We had our family Christmas break at the cottage, arriving on Christmas Eve for 4 nights. We know Harwich & liked the location so had plenty of seaside walks. We cooked a full Christmas dinner in the cottage & enjoyed putting the wood burner on every evening to relax. The bedrooms were comfortable & spacious.

    My stay at Driftwood cottage was excellent, great location and the old town of harwich was so historic. Lot's of lovely old pubs that all offer great food. The cottage was so cosy and we had the best sleep, would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

    It was such a cool old inn. Like stepping back into the 19th century but with all the modern conveniences. The food in the dining room was excellent both breakfast and dinner. The location was close to everything and easy access by taxi to the port.
