UNexpected cancellation, resulting in inconvenient location of the chosen alternative in another town, Clacton Not ideal for a non-driving ShantyFest attendee

Last-minutecancellation took me to find alternative accommodation, which proved delightful

Booking.com website confusing. When I complained they thought it was a cancellation They continually referred to a cancelled booking causing me great stress. This is a complaint against booking.com not against the hotel

No breakfast served

Public areas need the same refurb as the bedrooms to bring it unto scratch. Then it'll be a little gem.

Clean and comfy bedrooms, newly refurbished. (Bit of a fresh paint smell) Staff helpful and safe parking in the beer garden for bicycles and motorcycles. The public areas need a refurb with new furniture to improve the first impressions. The location is excellent for the ferry (2 minutes drive) if a little uninspiring on first view. We've stayed before so knew what to expect. A locals bar so expect some rowdy singing and banter.

It will benefit from the continued refurb of the public areas/bar. (these are very tired at present), Sept 2024.

Location is super for the ferry, parking for motorcycles and cycles in the beer garden. Premises is 2 minutes drive from the ferry. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The hotel/pub is undergoing refurb so the bedrooms were good (fresh paint smell) and clean. TV has all channels and access to streaming channels. Public areas a little sad and the bar has limited range of drinks. A locals pub so a tad rowdy.

The proximity to the ferry terminal which was the reason behind our booking

The bed rooms were good but the downstairs bar / reception was of poor quality and desperately needed refurbishment

Shower was set to extremely hot and couldnt adjust. A quick fix that I am sure will be sorted.

Clean bedroom and bathroom. Well located for Harwich ferry. It is basically a bed for the night that served its purpose well.

Room wasn't very clean. Curtains were falling down. My son had plastic rubbish in his bed 😠 all the staircases and rooms needed vacuuming and there were pee stains on the toilet

Location was great for catching the boat to Hook of Holland

Nothing was bad really. We ve been coming there for years and it s a fine one night stay for price. (Prijs/kwaliteit verhouding)

Always nice at Fryatt, one night stay after ferry and moving on next morning. The host was very friendly 👍

Rooms were dark, not much natural light from windows. Otherwise it had everything you’d expect.

Great location for getting the ferry the next day

-there was no one to receive us for about 10 minutes, just one of the drunks in the pub to keep us company -the pub and hotel advertised meals but they did not do meals -the room was good and spacious, but only one chair and no bed lights, just one bulb from the ceiling it is true that the accommodation is inexpensive but a number of improvements are called for.

-a spacious room without noise from outside -location for travel to or from The Netherlands

Having a shared bathroom is very depending on the hygienic values of your fellow guests and some were not the most neat, putting it mildly. The closest restroom at our room sadly was the case. I have seen public restrooms in the most remote area that are cleaner. I’m glad that there were at least other restroom options in the hotel where the users were more considerate of other users. our room is located to a hallway with an open window where unfortunately downstairs outside people were smoking and you can clearly smell the cigarettes.

The hotel was good for the purpose of our stay. We needed accommodation while catching the ferry early in the morning and not wanting to drive in the middle of the night. You couldn’t get any closer. The room itself is spacious, plenty of room for your suitcases

To noisy I know it was a pub but got woke up at half 7 with the pub delivery and our room was right next to where they were leaving the delivery. Also only one pillow that was thinner than the duvet cover

It was clean and comfy
