Navigation Cottage Luxury on the Historic Sea Lock

MaryRating, 5 stars3 months ago
What a beautiful place to stay - right next to a nature reserve, with the oyster catchers and curlews calling at night and wildlife wandering into the garden. But also very close to pubs, coffee shop and the sea. Great if you like birds, wildlife and peace and quiet.

The Studio

SarahRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Just returned from a lovely 2 nights at Michaels place. As others have said the location is great as it's on the high street and only a few minutes to the lovely Frinton beach. Check in was easy and there is parking at the rear of the downstairs shop. It was really hot and Michael arranged a fan to try to cool us down, he was available for any queries we had, Michael and his partner were really accommodating hosts. The studio was really clean and is very pared back and stylish, would recommend for a trip to Frinton and would try to get to the downstairs weekend bar next time .

Parkside Haven

Mohd Taisir MohdRating, 5 stars10 months ago
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Belinda flat, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I've ever had! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the spotless cleanliness and thoughtful touches throughout the space. The decor was modern yet cozy, making it feel like a true home away from home. Belinda went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect, providing everything I could possibly need—from a fully equipped kitchen to luxurious linens and toiletries. The location was ideal, situated in a quiet neighborhood but just a short walk away from the train station. The attention to detail was impeccable, and it was clear that Belinda genuinely cares about her guests' comfort and experience. Communication with Belinda was smooth and easy, with quick responses. Overall, this flat exceeded all my expectation and provided an unforgettable stay. If you're looking for a place that combines style and comfort, look no further—this is it!
