The Hotel Continental - A small independent hotel overlooking the sea at Dovercourt Bay, minutes by car from Harwich International Port. A modern interior in a Victorian seaside property which is painted bright yellow on the outside, reminiscent of buttercups, sunflowers and oilseed rape. It is very informal, unpretentious and friendly. Open to residents and non-residents alike.

The Tower Hotel - Built in 1885, in the Italian style, as a private residence, the main feature of this imposing building is the attractive tower at its northeast corner. It has a wealth of ornamental ceilings, cornices, beautiful architraves and is crowned by an impressive balustrade. It is not surprising to find this is a classified Grade Two-Listed Building. Set in its own pleasant leafy grounds, it retains an air of bygone elegance. However, in line with its admirable adaptation to its new life as a hotel, it has wide, easy access to the main road at either end of its sweeping drive.
