It was perfect for the lone female business self employed traveller and had everything I needed , fridge, microwave. These were a godsend. Only thing I would change is the height of the basin and mirror in the bathroom . I’m a average height female at 5’ 4” and the basin and mirror are set at a 6’2” male I’m sure lol apart from that all good would definitely stay again :)

Owners were nice. Short stroll to pier and high street. Liked the in room continental style breakfast. Shower was good. Only complaint was no heating, so supplied with a blanket, and trivial matters like they never replaced the used glasses and tea spoons. , Would have liked a change of towels, as only supplied with one bath towel each. Normally have a smaller towel aswell. As we were there only for two days we never bothered asking.

Nice room, comfortable beds, refrigerator and microwave oven in room. Bread, milk, tea, coffee, cereals, fruit etc supplied (this is a guest house rather than a hotel, so no restaurant for full English breakfast but this is made clear beforehand). On-site parking. Only about 2 minutes from beach and shops/restaurants, so close to everything but on a quiet road. Beaches west of the pier seemed very busy (perhaps due to the air show) but this is located to the east of the pier where the beaches were relatively quiet. Suited us well (family of 3). Sofia and Paul very helpful and great hosts. Would re-visit in the future.

Helpful hotel near the seaside
The owner gave me a lift to the local theatre so I could get to the concert as soon as possible. I appreciated that. Also, the breakfast is in the room when you arrive, and you make it yourself- this helped me because I had to leave early, and it gave me flexibility.

Braunton House. Clacton
Does exactly "what is says on the tin". Very friendly welcome and good explanation about room. Very helpful with regard to town location. Bed was very comfy. Crisp clean linen. Continental breakfast in room was more than adequate. Cleanliness was very good. Some slight noise transfer but not to disturb a night's sleep. Would stay there again if going to the area. Good value for money.

Very nice guest house, can’t complain really. If I had to be picky I’d say the bed was on the hard side and parking was a little awkward. We didn’t feel particularly safe walking around at night.

Nice B and B close to beach and all shops :)
This B and B had every thing we needed for our 3 day stay. On site parking. On suite, fridge, microwave. kettle. toaster and breakfast bar all in our own little room. Room was clean and tidy. clean towels each day, and we had a tv with all the cable channels and free wifi. Breakfast was continental which suited us just fine :) Was within walking distance to all the shops. bars. restaurants.cinema.bingo and of course the beach .and only half an hour drive to the zoo . would definately use this B and B again .

Comfortable Economy
We paid for economy so did not expect luxury. We did have a warm welcome but B&B is nearer the description than hotel. We could not fault what we received for the price. It was clean and comfortable but a bit cramped. For those wanting to be out all day it should be excellent but the weather was too cold. Again that was our timing. We found the tourist attractions closed! The continental breakfast was in the room and was very good.

ONE NIGHT STAY
We only stayed one night at the Brunton House in a family room. The room was very clean and comfortable and had 4 chairs, table and fridge which we found useful for the breakfast supplied. There was parking outside the hotel and it was very close the beach and all the amenities, shops, arcade etc. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Very nice hotel, great location
We stayed in this hotel for 1 night with our little daughter, in family room (double and single bed). The room was very clean and cosy with clean bathroom with shower. The products for continental breakfast were provided, together with tea/coffee, milk etc. The owners were very nice and helpful; gave us all info about nearby atractions and shops. Hotel is in good location, close to the sea and Clacton Pier. We are planning to go back later in the year and would recommend Brunton House to other potential visitors :-)

Easy to find, the stand out signage makes it a breeze. Great location, eveything in easy walking distance. So easy to drive in and out of clqcton from. Nice big clean and comfortable room with new ensuite. Good twist on b&b with continental breakfast supplied into your room. Having a fridge is a real bonus!

Decent B&B; reasonably clean room with adequate facilities including a small microwave, mini fridge, kettle, toaster. No cooked breakfast - just basic cereals, fruits & yoghurts. The old mattresses under the beds could have been made up with sheets - aesthetically better

Almost spot on
The only improvements I would make would be an armchair in the bedroom and/or a communal area (sitting room). This B&B is a collection of decent bedrooms, but I felt segregated from the owners as they are just in their quarters. If you need something they simply say you should ring them. I didn't actually NEED anything but that does create a little bit of a barrier. I am really nit picking, so don't be put off by my criticism. It is a very good B&B.

Family friendly gem that won't break the bank
Found the B&B no problems, was met by our host Paul and Sofia (lovely couple) Paul even offered to carry our bags (didn't think anyone did that any more) Room spotlessly clean and tidy, fresh sheets and towels All in all very nice The only down side I could think of and this would be very picky, is the room could do with some decoration (wood chip wall paper, peeling artex on ceiling and dodgy sealant round the shower) but as I said this would be picky, but for some this might be make or break. For me this is a cracking little gem and my family thoroughly enjoyed our stay
