Bed and Breakfast The Goodlife Guesthouse
162 High Street, Dovercourt, Harwich, CO12 3AT, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
Great location and very easy to access. The restaurant downstairs seemed great, even though I didn't eat there. Super friendly staff!
United KingdomFriendly staff. Convenient for docks with easy parking. Plenty tea and coffee in room.
United KingdomThe property has a big car park right outside, and 24 hour access is straightforward. Check in and out was very simple with the friendly hotel staff. Decent facilities (I had a shared bathroom which made the price lower) including tv and free wi-fi, and most important it is five minutes drive from the ferry terminal.
United KingdomGreat place friendly and very clean. Charlie Chaplin room really great. Thanks
QatarWe stayed here because we took the daytime ferry to Holland and didn't want to stress in the early morning. The location is perfect, with parking across the street, supermarket underneath and plenty of take away food stores in the same street. And off course the beach at arms length. There was a choice for breakfast but we used the kitchen for our own stuff from an early morning fruit & vegetable market across the street.
NetherlandsStaff were friendly and the alsation was a lovely dog. Him poking his head in the window to say hi really made ny morning
United KingdomThe family room was spacious. Just across the road from the beach The food at the cafe downstairs was lovely Clean and tidy Would stay again
United KingdomGuesthouse is 5 mins from a nice quite bit of beach which has toilets and a little shop to get drinks food, buckets an spades etc at the top of it in the park. The rooms were massive and the family room would of accommodated all 5 of us but unfortunately through booking. Com wasn't able to book just this room had to get two for some reason but that wasn't a problem and no fault of the guesthouse but next time I'll go direct through to the guesthouse and book if available. Shops and food outlets on your doorstep so no problems regarding food ideas.
United KingdomVery nice room, very big, quiet and very clean bathroom. I was extreemly satisfied. The day was hot and the room had a fan. Everything was superb. And very friendly staff. Bed was very big and comfortable. The dog was happy too on his dog bed on the floor.
IrelandThe room was big ,bed was comfy wifi was good connection,easy access to hotel and staff communication was good via phone due to current redtrictions
