Known as one of the best guest houses in Chudleigh, it has always offered something a little more refined than your average ‘seaside’ B&B and pitches itself as boutique accommodation with an adult-only clientele or older children. This policy maintains calmness and maturity within its beautifully kept Victorian house boasting traditional architectural charms alongside high-spec modern renovations. Primarily aimed at couples, solo travelers, and business professionals who want to be near the seafront but have higher demands for cleanliness, comfort, and quietness than what is usually considered a budget hotel; describing it this way does not do justice to how different The Chudleigh really is from every other place around.

Highlights - The Chudleigh Hotel


  • The location is perfect; a quiet, tree-lined street just two minutes’ walk from the seafront and famous Clacton Pier.
  • Consistently reviewed as excellent breakfast here comprises local ingredients with a wide choice all cooked to order.
  • Cleanliness of this place can only be described as immaculate. Well decorated rooms with high quality bed linen comparable to more expensive hotels.
  • The hosts are famous for a personal touch: warm hospitality and local knowledge delivered in abundance, yet never overbearing.
  • Free Wi-Fi that is fast and reliable throughout the building- often a weak point in older seaside guest houses of thick walls, now happily banished by mesh systems.
  • × There is no lift in the property which can be a significant issue for guests with mobility problems given the steep Victorian staircases.
  • × Because of its adult-oriented policy, families with young children or babies cannot stay here. That substantially reduces its market.
  • × On-site parking is limited to a few spaces; while street parking is available, it sometimes requires permits or finding a spot during busy summer weekends.

Review Breakdown - The Chudleigh Hotel


  • Worth the Cost Excellent value, pay slightly above a budget B&B but get top-quality room and food.
  • Staff Performance Personable professionalism, the hosts have tuned into what guests are seeking and deliver service at a concierge level.
  • Location 5/5 for balance. It is both central and perfectly removed from the loud main strip.
  • Surroundings Cool and composed; a whisper among the shouts, sitting elegantly back from the promenade’s flashier offerings of amusement arcades.
  • Overall Cleanliness Immaculate. Housekeeping is clearly both well-managed and industrious, having paid close attention to every conceivable detail within both the room itself and its bathroom.
  • Breakfast Excellent. A “Full English” breakfast that ranks as probably one of the best meals guest will have while staying here, let alone within town more widely.
