It's wonderful to stay in this historic building with it's incredible central location right on the pier. Great as a base for exploring the local area with it's maritime and military history and for trips further afield with many cruise trips leaving from Harwich. Great local restaurants and cafes and tons to do with kids.
We take real pride in ensuring our guests have a fantastic experience. We've got a successful holiday let in Felixstowe just a short ferry rise across from Harwich - check out Serene Sands Felixstowe
