It was such a cool old inn. Like stepping back into the 19th century but with all the modern conveniences. The food in the dining room was excellent both breakfast and dinner. The location was close to everything and easy access by taxi to the port.

We loved it here in Dovercourt a new experience for the kids and good bonding as family. They enjoyed the playground and the fields playing rickets. The launderette was a saver with the typical English weather. Easy access to amenities and Clacton pier awesome for kids entertainment.

    Property is exactly as pictured and very clean and cozy. Absolutely love the hotel-quality bedding and towels, made the stay feel so luxurious and great value for money. Although located at the port where there might not be as many activities, it is reasonably close to many attractions like Clacton Pier and Essex. Everyone in my family kept saying they would miss the place once we left and honestly we do! The games available also made the nights we spent more fun for us! Would love to stay again! Definitely highly recommend it!

    Everything was great. The flat had everything we needed, and even a travel cot and a high chair for our toddler. The flat was nicely warmed up before we arrived, we had the instructions for everything in the email. Lovely all round.

    I was allocated a spacious ground floor room which immediately felt warm and welcoming. The rooms were serviced automatically every day (which does not happen everywhere). When members of my family visited me with small children one evening the member of staff on duty kindly opened the lounge early so that we could sit indoors, socially distanced. There is roomy parking space at the back of the hotel. I felt welcome.
