Looking for places to stay in Essex? Whether you are visiting Essex for a holiday, a weekend break, or just for one night, there are so many choices to choose from that it can be time consuming searching through individual websites to find a place to stay. The Tourist Trail is a great place to start as it allows you to look through listings for different types of accommodation, filtering the results according to your requirements. This makes it quicker and easier to compare options for places to stay as all the information is in one place, ready for you to browse through a selection of different types of Essex accommodation.

There is a lot to consider when choosing where to stay. If you already know that you would prefer to stay in a specific area, you can view listings of just the options available in that area- for example Colchester accommodation, Southend accommodation, or Clacton accommodation. If you are open to ideas for places to stay in Essex, you can narrow down your search in other ways.

It can be useful to think about what you want from the accommodation, and which features are important to you. If you are planning a family holiday, you might want to filter the results to show only ‘child friendly’ options. If you are going on a romantic break, you might want to see ‘tranquil’ options. Hoping to bring your dog with you? Refine the results to show only the ‘pet friendly’ options. If you are visiting for work, it might be important to have Wifi, or in-room tea and coffee making facilities to set you up for a productive day.

There is so much choice when it comes to the types of accommodation out there that you may even come across something you hadn’t thought of. There are friendly B&Bs, campsites with beautiful views, and pitches with electric hookup- perfect for a campervan, motorhome, or caravan break. Choose from family friendly holiday parks, budget friendly hotels, luxurious hotels with spas, glamping pods, and self-catering holiday cottages, just made for a relaxing retreat.
