The central location was great with a couple of pubs practically across the street. It was located a walk from a pub with food and no restaurants were nearby but it is really a self catering stay with a commual kitch and dining area. We had a comfortable and enjoyable couple of nights.

The Royal Hotel - Clacton On Sea, hotel in Brightlingsea

Located on the beachfront in Clacton-on-Sea, The Royal Hotel - Clacton On Sea features a bar.

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, it was clean and very well located. However, I booked a room with a larger bathroom specifically because my husband is a large man, and I always ensure the bathroom is spacious enough. Unfortunately, we were given the smallest room with the smallest bathroom, despite paying for a room with a larger bathroom. As a result, my husband could not fit in the shower cabin, and the toilet was oddly positioned under the sink, making it nearly impossible for a large person to use. This was quite disappointing.

    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.

    Brightlingsea is a quaint little town.

    Brightlingsea is a quaint little town. Only one way in one way out everyone said and it’s true. Lovely fish and chips in Winkees and a great selection in the kebab shop we even brought some home there was so much left over. The pub we stayed in The Freemasons arms is so friendly and live music most weekends. We went to the promanade to see a music festival which although weather not great we still had a great time. Also it’s not far from clacton on sea where there is lots to do there. A great stay.

    The hosts were super helpful with the keys for a late arrival. I was working for the week in Colchester a 30 mins drive away and this apartment was a great choice. Home from home as opposed to a soulless premier inn (sorry Lenny Henry!). Bijou but comfortable and a nice surprise was the new wifi. I was up early for work but could road noise may be an issue for a late lie in. Would not hesitate to book again when in the area. .

    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....
