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.

Great location, behind the sailing club on the seafront. Able to walk to town,bars and restaurants and other places of interest. The accommodation was ideal for us giving more flexibility than a hotel or b&b, comfortable with modern tasteful decor and fittings. This property is dog friendly, adjacent field to have a run, also plenty of costal walks.

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.
