    Excellent breakfast all cooked freshly to order. Choices of cereal, yoghurt and berries, cooked breakfast or croissants with cheese and ham, juice ,coffee ,tea or hot chocolate. Friendly and helpful hosts, room was lovely and very clean. A very nice guest house with nice comfortable areas for guests to use located very close to the sea front, pier, shops and restaurants of Clacton.

    To remind other guests to turn lights off that operate the fans. Probably, put a note in the rooms for guests to be mindful of others.

    The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had. The location was great to the town and sea front. The help I received with my luggage was very much appreciated.

    Amazing host, nice attention to detail with the rooms and exceptional customer service. The ice cold bottle of water that was handed to me on arrival was just what I needed, it had been a warm and muggy day so it was a welcome refreshment. The host even remembered my name when I came down in the morning saying ‘Good Morning Natasha!’, which is such a nice personal touch. Breakfast was delicious - highly recommend the Greek yoghurt, strawberry and granola pot. Location is ideal, a pleasant 10 minute walk down the promenade to the pier. Rooms were extremely clean and you can tell the property is well looked after by its owners. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

    The properly is completely set apart from the other houses on the street. Looks fantastic, great curb appeal.. we have a ford transit custom which is my husbands baby and the parking was brilliant as we did not have to park on the street which was really appreciated. On arrival the house was gleaming clean and smelt lovely! The decor was gorgeous and exactly what we wanted for a night away. Having never been the Clacton before, the guest book was brilliant, very informative and full of personality from the hosts! Our delux double room with en suite was spotless, light and airy and just lovely! The hosts were brilliant! The attention to detail was seamless on arrival and the breakfast was a pleasure. All in all, got to give it 5* and would highly recommend to anyone with any needs as they seem to be met at every turn. Thanks so much for a fab stay.. Lou & Tom

    There was nothing I didn’t like about Viva Guest House apart from I wish we had stayed longer.

    Viva Guest House is an amazing place to spend a few days or even a week or two away by the sea, beautifully decorated and well presented, clean, fresh and very well maintained. Excellent hospitality, Kirk is a great host and an excellent cook with attention to detail in every aspect. Room was on the ground floor, very spacious, beautifully decorated with a quirky furnishing, and those little seaside themed touches, good sized wet room style bathroom, all the facilities you could want. If you’re ever thinking of visiting Clacton-On-Sea then this is the place to go. We will definitely be returning when we visit again 👍👍👍👍
