The rooms were so nicely furnished, the beds were terrific and the pub was lovely, as was its landlady Anne. Perfect location with shops and restaurants all within a 5 minute radius and the beach only 10 minutes away.

The caravan was great. My girls (9&12) were really excited about having their own room. Paul gave really clear instructions getting to the caravan, and getting into it! It was beautifully clean and fresh, with everything you would need. Great shower, cooker, heating etc. I checked with Paul about a couple of things that weren't mentioned in the listing and he promptly came back to me with the answers. There was a lovely welcome pack with really helpful info about supermarkets and attractions.

Visited in June.

Visited in June. Area has walking potential and is good for nature lovers. We are elderly with elderly dog that couldn't walk far in hot weather. Interesting history and a Cinque port. Marina. Small sandy beach at end of Promenade. Lido and boating lake. Friendly locals. Several pubs such as Fishermans Arms by harbour, and The Rosebud at Hurst Green.

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.
