We both loved our stay at Gate Cottage. Accomodation provided everything we were seeking. Location in town was as good as it gets and the views of the church from top floor window were superb. Host was there on arrival and proved very helpful. We were very pleased to have discovered this wonderful little cottage, we'll be hoping to get a chance to rebook soon.

Very comfy bed and an excellent breakfast. Holiday Inn has a reputation for being pretty standard but I was really pleasantly surprised by the quality of the stay here. Would definitely stay in a Holiday Inn again now.

An absolute gem of a place! Perfect location for Clacton sea front. Staff super friendly and accommodating. Lovely rooms with en suite which home lovely walk in shower. Comfy bed. Very clean throughout. Breakfast was well cooked and very tasty. We travel in the UK a lot, and this is by far the best affordable accommodation we have stayed in. If you’re in clacton, you won’t receive a better service anywhere else!

The food was absolutely incredible, and the rooms were nicely decorated, plus there was plenty of parking and space on the property. The staff were generally quite friendly, and I found that in the pub / restaurant of an evening, the manager was really engaged with us and seemed like he would go out of his way to keep us happy, as we also had friends joining us the following day. It's a shame, because this place has such potential, and I really cannot praise the food enough, but I have certainly stayed in better accommodation.
