The Pier is a small AA-recognised hotel set in a beautifully restored 1860 listed building on the quayside in historic Harwich, Essex, with sea-view rooms overlooking Harwich Harbour. Its 14 individually styled bedrooms make the most of coastal light, while the first-floor brasserie restaurant offers estuary views from every table and fresh fish landed on the doorstep. Downstairs, the NAVYÄRD bar and terrace serves cocktails, craft beers and an extensive gin library just steps from the working harbour. The hotel is less than half a mile from Harwich Town station, close to Ha'penny Pier, and within easy reach of Dovercourt beach and Harwich's museums, making it an ideal base for exploring the coastal town and its Mayflower history.
