Featuring a garden and views of sea, Greyfriars is an apartment situated in a historic building in Clacton-on-Sea, 200 metres from Clacton Beach. This apartment provides free private parking and full-day security. When staying at the apartment, guests can use private entrance. The apartment is centrally positioned, a few minutes walk from the centre of the city with a private parking space. Quite safe area. Spacious, bright, sunny, equipped with all amenities that one would think off for a stay in a beach town. Fast and reliable WiFi, excellent phone reception. Nice well maintained garden, shared with three other apartments. A big plus is that we could bring our dog with us. I suppose we were not the first guests with a pet. Regardless, the apartment was spotlessly clean. Communication with the host was easy. Every question answered.
