Kingscliff Hotel

We were very happy with our stay at Kings cliff hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful during our check-in and when we used the bar in the evening and the restaurant for breakfast. It's fantastically situated on the sea front and was about half an hour walk along the coast from Clacton centre. The hotel itself was very clean and tidy and generally in good condition. Overall a positive experience and a recommendation from me.

This hotel is absolutely beautiful inside and out , parking for our stay included. Great ground floor room with wet room , lots of room , comfy beds , restaurant and bar , so quiet too . Lovely will stay again this year

Booked a meal with my partner, it was his birthday had the most amazing meal and was looked after by Chloe who gave us amazing service, very friendly, bubbly and very attentive. Great music to listen to. Thank you to Chloe, Matt Cori and Ben

Absolutely lovely meal in the pod served by Maddie. Sun setting, sea view and lovely food. The service was amazing. Here with friends who have never been before and they were so impressed as were we. Such a lovely evening we will definitely be back.

Had afternoon tea here today for husband’s birthday, from the moment we arrived the staff were excellent ,we were looked after by Chloe and food by Bella. Food was lovely tea and coffee kept being refilled. After a slate plate came out with two slices of cake on it with happy birthday all in chocolate sauce. Will definitely return and recommend to family and friends.

Excellent hotel with friendly efficient staff, great food and everywhere is very clean and tidy. Parking is at the back of the hotel, with plenty of spaces. I would happily return. Evening meal was absolutely delicious and the King's breakfast was huge, but still tasty. The hotel is right on the sea front so great walking, paddling, or just sit and enjoy the sea air.

We arrived to a very warm welcome from the Leah, the receptionist (sorry if I've got your name wrong). We were allocated the accessible room on the ground floor (for no reason other than it was available!), which was a huge room with a king-size bed as well as a single bed. The bathroom was a spacious wet room, so no shower tray to step over, and various handrails and shower chairs for use if needed. The only quibble was that the sink was very small. The hotel itself is very smart, beautifully decorated and very warm and welcoming, with various areas of sofas and armchairs to sit and chat. The hotel's restaurant was staffed by various people at different times of the day, all of whom were really lovely and friendly. The varied menu was the same for both lunch and dinner times, and the food was excellent. The chips especially were delicious, though they did come with most of the meals and I would have liked a choice of accompaniment (new or mashed potatoes or rice, for example), so that I didn't keep eating too many of these delicious chips. Our server on two evenings was Meghan, who as well as being efficient and cheery, dashed around the room entertaining everyone with her huge personality. All the staff were assets to the hotel's atmosphere. There is a large car park behind the hotel, and in April there were plenty of spaces. We wanted to take our bikes away with us and there was a small cycle rack in front of the hotel, but nowhere enclosed or away from prying eyes to lock any bikes away safely. A small lockable shed, say in the car park with the key available from reception, would be more useful. I have read some past reviews of this hotel which have not been very good. We found our stay excellent, and all I can say is, if you have any problems then ask for them to be sorted out while you are there. The window in our room was awkward to close, but on reporting it to reception, someone came and fixed it within minutes. Another review said that restaurant staff were scruffy or unkempt. I have been in hotels where staff wore a uniform of black trousers and white shirts, but they still managed to look scruffy and dirty, with food stains. The staff at the Kingscliff all looked perfectly clean and tidy in their own clothes, and the quality of the service was more important to me than what they were wearing. We would definitely stay here again.

Family dinner at the restaurant tonight as my uncle always stays here when he's visiting. The barman was welcoming from the moment we arrived, even offering us the opportunity to taste a different beer we were intrigued by. Our server was Megan, and she was absolutely fantastic. Friendly and knowledgeable, she was exactly the right level of attentive. Food was delicious, already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you!

Nice hotel, staff friendly and accommodating. Restaurant meal was nice chosen from set menu. Breakfast was ok but buffet option not great. Window could not be closed in our room so a bit noisy. The condition of the mattresses in twin room were not great. A mattress cover should have been used.
