Hotele niedaleko St Michael＇s Church, Thorpe Le Soken

I just wanted to thank you for such a positive experience that I had at your establishment yesterday evening. (01/06/2023) I arrived with my mum, the staff at the initial reception greeted us, explained which directions to take and told us to enjoy our stay. At the spa reception the staff member was warm, informative and professional. She took our details and confirmed the package that I had purchased. Again she wished us a pleasant stay. We used the delightful facilities, I had been worried that I hadn’t booked a treatment but it was so lovely to catch up with my mum in the warm, relaxing and calm environment that has been created. We then took our time having a fabulous shower, using the products that were readily available before we headed to the bar for a drink. Again, the staff here were smart and professional. We settled down in the bar and then ambled around the corner to the restaurant. We were greeted here by a lovely blonde lady, I’m assuming the restaurant manager, who showed us to our table, lighting our lamp and again wishing us a wonderful evening. Looking at the menu, I was a little concerned that there wasn’t anything that I was ‘WOWED’ by. We both (myself and my mother) opted for the tomato and basil soup, I had the pork chop and mum had the chicken. The soup was hot on delivery and so flavourful. The bread accompaniment was absolutely delicious, I would have liked another. We tore it and dolloped large amounts of the delicious butter that came with it. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Our mains then arrived, my mum said that her main was delicious, she was particularly enamoured with the sauce and is hoping that my husband might be able to emulate it. My pork was absolutely delicious, succulent, well seasoned and both of us commented on the large portions we received, this was totally unexpected. For dessert, I had gelato; hazelnut, chocolate and vanilla. Very nice and quite light after my big meal. My mum commented that “this is the best sticky toffee pudding I’ve had in a very long time!” The highest compliments to the chef(s)! I must give a special mention to the waitress, she did give her name but I’m afraid I forgot what she said. She was fabulous, a bubbly personality and ensuring that everyone was happy in her section. She had to work really hard with one couple, so definitely earned her wage last night! She had dark hair, was her name Suzanne? Even when leaving the night receptionist was lovely and helpful when we handed in our locker bracelets. It was an experience that you don’t want to end. The staff could definitely teach other establishments in the area about customer service, it was so refreshing to have all staff members so confident and accommodating. Thanks so much and hopefully we’ll be back to see you soon.

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.

Me and my partner stayed here for one night (10/05/24 - 11/05/24) and we've had a really pleasant experience. The bed is really comfortable and the room is a perfect size for those who are not in their room all day. We did have a problem with our room but reception have apologised and are going to rectify the issue with the room. The hotel is right next to the town and is around a 5 minute walk to the pier/beach. There is plenty of amenities nearby and the train station is around 8-10 minute walk away in the opposite direction from town.

We wanted a night away and chose this hotel. The reception was small but clean and welcoming. We were greeted by Charlie who was friendly and professional. The room was lovely. Very clean. Plenty of tea and coffee etc. unfortunately the fish and chip restaurant was closed but fair enough it’s out of season and a Monday. Ordered from deliveroo who found us easily. The breakfast was great. The restaurant was clean and bright and the food was lovely. Very good selection. The hotel is very close to the pier etc. The outside area was clean and well maintained. The rear of the hotel was very tired looking but we didn’t sit round there. The only negative points we found was we could have done with more pillows but guess that’s personal preference. The water could have been warmer for a shower and the green exit light by the door was distracting for hubby. Over all a great stay for a reasonable price. We will definitely return.
