4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

We stayed here for two nights and would certainly return.It is a lovely b&b in an excellent location central to places to eat, shops and the seafront and pier. The owners very friendly and a lovely breakfast to set you up for the day.

Owners were very friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely, clean and modern, and very comfortable bed! Breakfast was yummy and very generous. Ideal location - opposite the sea front and Clacton Pier, next to the High Street with all the shops and restaurants, everything was walking distance. Would most definitely stay again and recommend.

Great place to stay in Clacton. Location is perfect - very central and with free roadside parking if you can't get into small car park. Rooms are a good size and very clean and comfortable. Owners were very helpful and friendly from the moment of booking until departure. Would definitely stay here again.

Apart from the great location & availability of free car parking, what makes this guest house different are the friendly owners. Paul helped with the cases and took time to talk to us about the local area as well as serving a cooked breakfast which had plenty of choice.

We arrived late Saturday and the Sandrock car park was full but Jill kindly moved her car in order for us to park outside the hotel. The location is just brilliant. Moments away from the beach, shops and pier. Our room was fine and as described. It was clean and comfortable. As mentioned by others, we were amazed to have... More
