We got upgraded on arrival at The Courtyard and our room was outstanding. If you get the option to book the family room (room 6) please do. Great communication with Victoria before check-in and once we arrived. The cleanliness of the room was excellent. Location also superb. Very close to the marina/beach, so had a lovely stroll around this and close to the birthday party we were attending (the reason for our visit). There is a communal area but we didn't make use of this.

Service was excellent, both as an overnight guest and as a member of a large dinner party. Food was also excellent, all our party agreed. I had pork belly, duck and creme brulee... The room was very nicely decorated, warm and clean. The ensuite shower room was warm, big towels and enough of the usual supplies. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate and fruit teas, biscuits, milk in the cutest bottles, couldn't have done more. Breakfast was good, the service excellent and the choice unlimited. I would highly recommend The Courthouse for dinner or overnight stay.

What Guests Said About Brightlingsea:

Scored out of 10, guest rating 10

Brightlingsea has a lot to offer.

Brightlingsea has a lot to offer. After a near 4 hour journey we quickly went out for tea and visited Winkies Fish and Chip restaurant which was excellent. We then took a steady 10 minute stroll down to the harbour and seafront where we took in the sun and sights for an enjoyable relaxing hour or so before returning to our room. There is plenty to see with a number of pubs and eating places all close by. Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to the area and would definitely return, especially to collect the boat I had just purchased.

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.

The room was ideal for our quick overnight stay, it was very clean and tidy with a very spacious en-suite. Tea and coffee were provided and we made use of the fan. Beds were very comfortable and spotlessly clean, with very comfortable pillows. Having the use of private secure parking was very reassuring and overall I would not hesitate to use the Courtyard Rooms again, Highly recommended.

Coastal Beachfront Caravan

Brightlingsea

Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 9 reviews
Perfect location for a week with the kids or a couple looking to escape for a few days. Quiet spot in caravan park, but near enough from facilities. Well equipped, didn’t need most of the usual things I’d pack for a caravan holiday as it was well kitted out. Very clean and cosy!
