This is a lovely little hotel in the Old Town Part of Leigh on Sea. The room was lovely and i had a view out across the estuary. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom was great with a fab shower and soft towels. I didnt eat in the restaurant but the food looked amazing. The staff were lovely. Friendly and helpful. Make sure to book parking in advance and dont be out off by the railway line. I hardly heard it!

Our stay was outstanding. We booked a dog friendly room and upon arrival we had a large dog bed, biscuits and water already set up in the room which was thoughtful and welcoming. The room was spotless and the beds were super comfortable. The views from the room were lovely. It was a 10/10 stay and we would definitely return. Also nothing was too much trouble, I spoke to Ella before we arrived and she resolved all of my queries straight away and was so friendly.

We had breakfast twice and an evening meal, the food was good value and our waitress was a lovely lady. Friendly & helpful, she accommodated us with our small dog with a good table. It was a pleasure to meet and be served by her, I wish we had asked her name. :)

We stayed here for the weekend. Absolutely amazing stay. The hotel was spotless. All the staff were friendly and very attentive without being intrusive. We stayed in room 2, which had a balcony and was dog friendly. The sea view was lovely. The hotel is just across the railway tracks so very close to the sea. A short walk takes you to the local shops, including a Co-op and Tesco Express. The breakfast - wow. Delicious food. My partner has the full English and I had the vegetarian breakfast. Plentiful and served by a lady who, like all the staff, was lovely. The attention to detail in this hotel is second to none. Even the toiletries were fantastic quality. We had a mini fridge that had enough room to put 2 x 2 litre bottles of cola in standing up. Very handy for our vodkas and cokes. We will definitely be returning next year for my partner's birthday.

8/10 Very good

Spotless room and fabulous bedding, great facilities including fridge and coffee machine, although no instructions for that. Parking was tricky though, although we had allocated parking included with the room behind the hotel (highly recommended or you’ll end up parking a distance away) the spaces were very tight. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast which although very nice and freshly cooked, I did not feel it was value for money.

Lovely convenient location. Very clean and freshly renovated. Staff very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return. We were given an upgrade to a deluxe seaview room which was very well equipped and comfortable. Car parking might be a problem as it is limited and the suites and high grade rooms get a space reserved. They kindly saved us a space as we needed disabled access. The breakfast was very good and freshk6cooked. We hope to stay again.
