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.

It is a stunning little cottage perfect for two people. Immaculate, comfortable and homely. I have stayed at three hotels in the previous four days and this was a breath of fresh air. It has everything you need and bags of charm.

We only stayed overnight because we had an appointment at 8.30 at the Marina. We did not arrive until nearly 10.00 pm. so our time there was short.
