★★★★★ – David (Google Review August 2025)

What a stylish and trendy hut!! We had a fabulous day at Frinton 188, its in the most perfect location right in front of the steps down to the beach, close to the toilets, free parking and water tap. Rain or shine this hut has everything you could need from buckets and spades to board games and binoculars. It was immaculately clean and well maintained with lovely kitchen area with a fully working sink and hob top to the perfect seating area and comfy deck chairs. Thank you for having us we cant wait to come back!!

★★★★★ – Blanca (Google Review July 2025)

We booked the beach hut for a day during the heatwave. It was a weekday so we can enjoy the beach and surroundings more. The 188 beach hut is so beautifully decorated, clean and well equipped with essentials. The sofa is very comfy my dog loves laying around. It’s definitely a 5-star front row beach hut just a few steps to the beach to cool off
