Really lovely place to kick back and chill. The views were amazing and we were able to get a few coastal walks in between the rainy days. A few niggles, but nothing major. Bring a good book and watch the world go by.

The views are wonderful, and the underground car park is great. The initial impact of the apartment is stunning but as others have commented, there is a distinct lack of storage in bedroom and bathroom, and some general TLC is needed. We are not tall and therefore found the sofa and chair a bit of a challenge. Unlike others, though, we thought thatRead more marvellous 6ft bed was blissfully comfortable!. We would certainly return, the panorama outside the windows is just fabulous. Hide

Lovely apartment, great location. Sit watching the water very relaxing. Shower needs a shelf to hold shampoo etc, bedroom needs a chest of drawers, nowhere to put clothes that cannot be hung. Brightlingsea is what it is, small, quiet which is what I wanted.

It basically was what it said on the tin. Wonderful view, very quiet location. I recommend it. As other reports have mentioned, there were few niggles not worthy of mentrion. I recommend it. Easy access to the underground car park. Given a door key and fob to open door between the building and car park and access gate linking street to car park.

Stunning view and position. Worth a return visit in a variety of weather ! Near to all Brightlingsea has to offer. Parking and Lift useful. Slightly let down by the need for general maintenance to be kept up with, the flat is getting tired ,and this reduces its value for money.

it's all about the view and it does not disappoint. The feel of the apartment is good and sitting out on the balcony soothes the soul. Sunsets are a wow. Lack of storage was disappointing no draws in bedroom and wardrobes are used to store allsorts of stuff from 52in tv to xmas decorations. Sofa looks great but is low and seating is very deep to thRead moree backrest so not good for those with bad knees. Having said that it is a lovely place with great walks from the doorstep and basic needs 5 min walk. Hide
