Information about the hotel
A small independent hotel overlooking the sea at Dovercourt Bay, minutes by car from Harwich International Port.
A modern interior in a Victorian seaside property which is painted bright yellow on the outside, reminiscent of buttercups, sunflowers and oilseed rape. It is very informal, unpretentious and friendly. Open to residents and non-residents alike.
The dining room seats 40 and is non-smoking. The hotel serves food throughout the day and evening. On demand you can choose from bar snacks or a la carte. The hotel buys quality ingredients including organic . The hotel caters very well for vegetarians.
There is a public bar, which until summer 2007 allows smoking. After the smoking ban comes into operation there will be a seafront terrace area where smokers can sit. In addition, there is a non-smoking lounge with library.
