Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns, hotel in Brightlingsea

Situated in Clacton-on-Sea, Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns has a restaurant, bar, garden, and free WiFi throughout the property. Private parking can be arranged at an extra charge.

Great for location for getting food and chilling in the room. Quiet at night. Slept very well, comfy bed. Staff were lovely when I checked in and made me feel safe as a solo female. One of the only place I’ve checked in where it’s not been said out loud that the room is for one and the room number being spoken out loud for others to hear. It happens all the time BUT did not happen here and put me at such ease.

    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.

    Brightlingsea is a quaint little town.

    Brightlingsea is a quaint little town. Only one way in one way out everyone said and it’s true. Lovely fish and chips in Winkees and a great selection in the kebab shop we even brought some home there was so much left over. The pub we stayed in The Freemasons arms is so friendly and live music most weekends. We went to the promanade to see a music festival which although weather not great we still had a great time. Also it’s not far from clacton on sea where there is lots to do there. A great stay.

    Welcoming. Very clean. Homely. Nothing too much bother... asked for a shower mat. Was there when we opened the door next morning! Chocolate provided. Food basics all provided in fridge. Nice little bits left for guest use... including tea and coffee/ some bathroom things like shampoo and conditioner(happy to use what was left by others!) Really couldn't fault it. And location.. well... my favourite place in Brightlingsea... having been a local before, I know my locations! Bed to beach: 2 minutes at most. 😊

    The central location was great with a couple of pubs practically across the street. It was located a walk from a pub with food and no restaurants were nearby but it is really a self catering stay with a commual kitch and dining area. We had a comfortable and enjoyable couple of nights.
