Room and bathroom were larger than expected and we loved it since we had our adult son who slept on a cot in the room with us. Loved the balcony and the views. Easy parking. Easy check-in.

I liked everything except the steps on the balcony. They are slippery and my boyfriend slipped and fell. It would be nice to put rubber strips on the steps to prevent slipping. But overall I was very happy and satisfied with my stay there.

The ambience. After a bit of a scary moment and a few kerfuffles here and there, the staff and the manager were just the kindest and the sweetest. They cared about my soloness and accommodated me above and beyond. It's not the Ritz, but it was very close as far as the care and attention was concerned. The room was cozy and the lighting great. Beds comfy and decor fancy and thoughtful (depending on room)! Fridge and microwave a bonus. Clean towels and bedding. The balcony is great with views of Clacton pier and the lights if you get those rooms. But mostly the kindness of the staff was the winning point especially the Boss. I felt safe after feeling unsafe because locks do need to be put on porch doors as terraces are very close to eachother and that's important I think if you're travelling solo. I had a fab time though. A very memorable experience.

What guests said about Brightlingsea:

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.

Guest review by

United Kingdom

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.

Great location, behind the sailing club on the seafront. Able to walk to town,bars and restaurants and other places of interest. The accommodation was ideal for us giving more flexibility than a hotel or b&b, comfortable with modern tasteful decor and fittings. This property is dog friendly, adjacent field to have a run, also plenty of costal walks.

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....
