Hotels near Grain Fort

"Hotel looks very tired and needs updating Window seals have gone and on a very windy night that didn’t help "

"Staff friendly and attentive, cozy room, comfortable bar, nice breakfast freshly cooked."

"There was not really a beach to view"

"What an awful stay - everything was OK until I woke up in the small hours of the morning with bites all over my arms. I ended up sleeping width ways at the foot of the bed as I am certain that bedbugs had bitten me whilst lying on the pillows by the headboard. I complained to Debbie in the morning and she steadfastly refused to acknowledge that it could be bedbugs even though I showed here all the bites, including 2 on my neck. I visited a pharmacist in Southend Tesco on Tuesday morning and he assured me that they did look like bedbug bites and prescribed me antihistamines. My arms swelled up on Tuesday - I had been bitten approximately 26 times and I was very uncomfortable. I have used Expedia to book hotels all over the continent over the last 15 years and have not had a single complaint but this was a very unpleasant experience which I do not believe was adequately dealt with. Shame on you Hamilton House - a more sympathetic response would have negated a response such as this. "

"Lovely stay at this comfortable hotel. Staff very friendly, room had everything I needed for the night, beautifully decorated and great breakfast "

"The hotel room was recently refurbished and clean, staff very friendly. However I think I was in the only refurbished room with active work taking place into the evening. I am sure the property will be lovely when completed ready for the summer tourists but I only managed to stay one of my two nights."

"Great hotel with great facilities and loads of free parking across the street. Really friendly and helpful staff, good food and a fantastic location. I would thoroughly recommend the Queen Philippa as a great value hotel."

"Very old and tired hotel. Room could do with a make over and a clean. TV remote was filthy, stale smell in room, soap dish fell off the wall then touched. "

"The linen was very fresh and clean smelling, owner very pleasant. The property is undergoing refurbishment, hence the low price. TV didnt work and fridge needed a clean, the loo brush was source of nasty smell. "
