Lock in a great price for The Tower Hotel – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

No complaint at all, the room was perfect for just me, the food was really good, the location was right on the main street just a minute walk from the heart of town, staff where all delightful and very helpful.

Christopher, United States of America

Beautiful place to stay. Friendly staff en very clean

John, Netherlands

Spacious room and comfortable (size) bathroom; deluxe dining (breakfast) room

Rudi, Netherlands

Very quaint English hotel with a bread and breakfast feel. Decorated very nicely and very comfortable. Food was outstanding and staff was excellent. I had room 3 which was nice if a bit small. Next time I’ll try one of the named rooms.

Dan, United States of America

Felt like a grand old world hotel...something out of the movies. Was looking for MissMarple or Hercule Poirot Staff helpful and friendly.

Fern, United States of America

The facility was fantastic and extravagant. The staff were helpful, friendly, the evening attendant was great. We were a little late getting in and getting seated for dinner. She stayed and made sure we were taking care of. The meal was fantastic. This was a highlight of our trip.

Gerald, United States of America

We stayed in Jones room, very comfortable, spacious, fab bathroom and lovely decor. The bar was really nice, beautiful gardens and a good breakfast.

Julie, United Kingdom

We arrived at 6pm on new years day and appeared to be the only guests. They kept the restaurant open for us and the bar staff were really nice.

Julie, Netherlands

I liked everything, the hotel, the staff and diner as well as breakfast. Just a very nice place to stay in, a 5 minute walk from the trainstation and a 5 minute ride to the ferry and last but not least the skate barely fit on the plate.

Paul, United States of America

Excellent evening meal served by very attentive friendly staff.

John United Kingdom

Built in 1885, in the Italian style, as a private residence, the main feature of this imposing building is the attractive tower at its northeast corner.

It has a wealth of ornamental ceilings, cornices, beautiful architraves and is crowned by an impressive balustrade. It is not surprising to find this is a classified Grade Two-Listed Building.

Set in its own pleasant leafy grounds, it retains an air of bygone elegance. However, in line with its admirable adaptation to its new life as a hotel, it has wide, easy access to the main road at either end of its sweeping drive.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.3 for a two-person trip.

the main light needed to be on a dimmer as it was to bright and the bedside lights didn't realy give enough light,
Hotel was ideal for a quick get- away to see the new year fireworks. Only other resaon for staying would be to get a ferry connection.

The bathroom was tiny and the placement of the mirrors in the bathroom and bedroom made applying make-up impossible. The shower was warm rather than hot and dribbled rather than gushed. The fan was loud. Noisy guests next door (not the hotels' fault). As a discounted one-night stop near Harwich it was OK but at full price I would have been unhappy.
Nice-looking hotel in good location with well-appointed public spaces. The room was small but adequate.
