The guest house, set in a building dating from 2019, is 23 km from Colchester Castle and 25 km from Flatford. The property is non-smoking and is set 15 km from Alresford.

Already we are telling our friends about the location and how we enjoyed our stay. It was very clean, and had everything we needed.

At the bed and breakfast, every unit is equipped with a desk, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. Additional in-room amenities include wine or champagne. The units are equipped with heating facilities. It was great, comfortable, fresh but also welcoming decoration. It looks like the owner has put a lot of time into making it nice, the info folder in the room is also much more friendly and informative than usual. Good breakfast, friendly helpful owner. I never give 10 as a ranking, but this time it was deserved. I've stayed in almost every B&B / Hotel in Clacton over the last 20 years (I visit a few times a year for work) and overall this place is a perfect fit for me.
