Seaview B&B 4 stars

Harwich

Boasting a garden and views of sea, Seaview B&B is a recently renovated bed and breakfast set in Harwich, 26 km from Flatford. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. The accommodation offers a housekeeping service and private check-in and check-out for guests. The location was very central yet overlooked a park and the sea. We received a very warm welcome from Jayne who did everything to ensure we were comfortable. Our room was beautifully decorated and the bathroom looked brand new, partly due to high standards of cleanliness throughout and partly because it was almost brand new. The dining room was light, bright and airy and the breakfast excellent, catering for our very fussy diets!!! Would highly recommend this wonderful b & b.

All breakfasts and dinners made by Ms. Barrett were tasty and healthy. The coffee, lemonade and desserts served with the meal were excellent. Mr. Barrett and Ms. Barrett's warm thoughtfulness makes me feel at home. They always looked out for me and listened to me. I will never forget their kindness and hospitality.
