Alma Inn & Dining Rooms - A historic 3-star inn with sea views, pet-friendly accommodations, and locally sourced seafood
Standing at the center of Harwich life since the 1850s, Alma Inn & Dining Rooms occupies a 15th-century building with nine uniquely styled rooms, including a family-friendly suite. Each room features en-suite bathrooms, luxury cotton linen, flat-screen TVs, Nespresso machines, and free Wi-Fi; some offer sea views, exposed Tudor brickwork, or four-poster beds. Guests can dine in the rustic on-site restaurant, which serves fresh seafood like Mersea oysters and local lobsters alongside a full English breakfast with homemade sausages. The inn is 500 meters from Harwich Town and a five-minute walk from Harwich Town Station, with nearby attractions including Halfpenny Pier and Dovercourt Bay Beach. The Alma Inn & Dining Rooms also houses a CAMRA-recognized real ale pub and a courtyard garden.
Pros
The historic building features original details like medieval windows and Tudor brickwork.
Many rooms have sea views, including partial vistas of the estuary once seen by the Mayflower's captain.
The on-site restaurant emphasizes fresh seafood, with a menu dependent on local supply.
Pet-friendly accommodations are available.
Located within walking distance of Harwich's cultural landmarks, including the Harwich Mayflower Project.
Cons
The narrow stairs and lack of elevator may challenge guests with mobility issues.
Some rooms have limited or obstructed views, such as an electrical substation or chimney pots.
“This harborside inn possesses a distinct charm; the staff's warmth immediately sets a welcoming tone. Rooms are well-appointed with thoughtful touches, and the food-both in the pub and its sister restaurant-impresses, particularly the fresh seafood. Its pet-friendly policy and convenient location near transport make it a practical and appealing choice.”
