Check in confusion
Wasn’t too obvious where to check in, another guest who was waiting outside said we needed to go into the restaurant to do it. Might have been in my confirmation but I must have missed that! Apart from that, great stay and great location

The staff help make this place
Great room. My girlfriend is disabled but as she wasn't staying over I had a basic downstairs room, which the staff sorted for me. I was there around 2pm for a check in and a nice gentleman made sure I checked in easily. Ladies managing the rooms made sure I was okay. Asked me if I needed anything. They checked I was happy. I have been here a fair few times. Pub linked to hotel does amazing carvery. Maybe get a nice meal before booking in. Being next to the pub and easy access/parking, makes this place an ideal choice for travellers. There are a fair few shops/facilities you can walk to.

We love the smugglers cove, this was a fourth visit and always enjoy our stay. Clean, comfy and close to food joints and Tescos and not far from clacton itself. Highly recommend.
