The Goodlife Guesthouse
162 High Street, Dovercourt, Harwich, CO12 3AT, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
Everything was clean easy to use and staff were helpful. Well worth the money.

Received the warmest of welcomes... I arrived quite late, but nothing was too much trouble... the lady booking me in insisted on lugging my heavy suitcase upstairs... My room overlooking the park was roomy, comfy and spotlessly clean... After a 7 hour drive it was very welcoming... great night sleep, lovely shower and onto the ferry... I can highly recommend The Good Life... Thank you so much !!

Spacious free parking and very close to Harwich port. Pretty convenient for staying one night before traveling to the Netherlands by ferry.

Room was amazing and despite the first impression from the outside of the building. Nice location - park opposite and nice little beach, walks - perfect for the dog.

The area was very nice,then the staff very friendly and helpful.The room was big enough for 3 ,even for four.

Great location and very easy to access. The restaurant downstairs seemed great, even though I didn't eat there. Super friendly staff!

This property is great. The rooms and bathrooms are updated. It was a great location for us as we were visiting family and it was 5 minute walk. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

nice clean room & ensuite & parking across the road is handy .

Nice venue, ideal when You arrive by ferry in the evening or must catch the same next morning. The port is only 10 minutes away from the hotel. Parking is free on the opposite side of the street, a little grocery store (open till 11 pm if I remember correctly) next door. Breakfast not included.

Ideal for ferry.Situated above late shopper,a bit noisy.
