Friendly and helpful staff. Parking in front of the door. Good restaurant (reserve a table at arrival), you don´t have to go anywhere else, just relax. The room was in a separate building, small but sufficient. Slept well. We got a basic breakfast package to have something to eat before leaving for the ferry.

    Visited in June.

    Visited in June. Area has walking potential and is good for nature lovers. We are elderly with elderly dog that couldn't walk far in hot weather. Interesting history and a Cinque port. Marina. Small sandy beach at end of Promenade. Lido and boating lake. Friendly locals. Several pubs such as Fishermans Arms by harbour, and The Rosebud at Hurst Green.

    Very pleasant relatively low key resort.

    Very pleasant relatively low key resort. The local museum is exceptional. The food available was disappointing - pub fare (fine but not for every lunch and dinner) - with no stall/restaurant selling crab sandwiches or edible shell fish. Well worth taking the foot ferry to Point Clear for a walk. Very relaxing walks along the river as well.

    Loved Brightlingsea.

    Loved Brightlingsea. We were pleasantly surprised how peaceful and pretty it was. The museum was very interesting and loved the lake & beach huts. We ate at the Yachtsman twice and the Rosebud. Enjoyed our meals at both places. We travelled out most days to Mersea, Dedham, Holland -0n -Sea, Maldon and Colchester and would recommend all these places.

    Welcoming. Very clean. Homely. Nothing too much bother... asked for a shower mat. Was there when we opened the door next morning! Chocolate provided. Food basics all provided in fridge. Nice little bits left for guest use... including tea and coffee/ some bathroom things like shampoo and conditioner(happy to use what was left by others!) Really couldn't fault it. And location.. well... my favourite place in Brightlingsea... having been a local before, I know my locations! Bed to beach: 2 minutes at most. 😊

    The accommodation was lovely, with the un-suite too, nicely decorated. Plenty of useful things to use in the room i.e. hairdryer, fan, mini fridge, toiletries, towels, kettle, refreshments - tea/coffee/biscuits and tv. We managed to park outside our room, which was perfect for me as I'm having trouble going upstairs.

    Stayed here as needed a quick overnight stay in the local area, the property was well presented and very clean. Thought the pint of milk in the fridge was a very nice touch as able to make a drink on arrival. Plenty of parking available nearby, I would definitely want to stay here again.

    Location was brilliant. Excellent for exploring Essex and Brightlingsea was lovely. It was a cosy house with good facilities in a very quiet area and a Co-op was literally 5 minutes walk away. Would rate the cottage as 3 star not 4 for the reasons stated below....

    Clean, tidy, and relatively spacious - much better than a hotel room of similar cost. Quiet and pleasant residential area too.
