About Alma Inn and Dining Rooms

Harwich's old town, with its narrow streets running down to the water, is where you'll find the Alma Inn and Dining Rooms on Kings Head Street. The building's history gives the place its character, with a relaxed pub-inn feel rather than anything corporate, and it makes a good base for exploring this old Essex port.

Rooms are comfortable and straightforward, with drinks provided and the option of a packed lunch if you're heading out for the day. The dining room focuses on local produce, and breakfast is included to set you up before exploring. Free WiFi is available throughout, and there's a garden to sit out in when the weather allows. Practical extras include luggage storage, a laundry service and meeting rooms, and pets are welcome to stay too.

Beyond the inn itself, Harwich offers fishing and watersports along the coast, a golf course nearby, and plenty of pubs, bars and restaurants within easy reach for evenings out. It's a solid, unfussy option for anyone visiting this part of the Essex coastline.
