Latest Harwich Ferry Terminal parking reviews
  • Parking on Premier Inn Harwich, CO12

    Ideal parking space for short cycle/trip to Netherlands by ferry. Easy to find once you realise it is behind the premier Inn and access is via the Lidl supermarket turn - The St Nicholas roundabout not Parkeston Road. It probably should not be named Parkeston Road at all as you cannot access it from there! Naming of addresses is in the hands of the Post Office and I see that Lidl is also supposed to be on Parkeston Road (It is not) Hope this helps - Certainly good value!
