Chudleigh Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This place is a gem. The owners are warm, welcoming and very helpful, and so are the rest of the staff. The place is reminiscent of the best of a traditional guest house, but with a modern clean feel. The amenities in the room were plentiful, and with the guests’ comfort in mind. The extra touches were much appreciated, as was the cleanliness and cotton sheets. The breakfast room is bright and airy, with white linen table cloths and pretty china. The breakfast is generous and good. The hotel is only a short walk from the seafront, and also from the town. I stayed four nights in a street-facing room. There was some street noise, but not excessive, and it was quiet after about 11pm. There is no lift/elevator, but I noticed there were ground level rooms for those with mobility issues. I will definitely book the Chudleigh again when I next visit friends and family in the Clacton area."
