Nice accommodation, lovely hosts, not a great deal to do in Mersea

Pros: Excellent communication from the owners and they were kind enough to not only allow us to park at the property before our check in time, but also sort an earlier check in than planned. It’s in a very good location and close to the beach.

Cons: Only tiny annoyance was that it was virtually impossible to get any channels on the TV. Had been out all day and evening and tried to put terrestrial TV on once we got back, but nothing I tried worked. After half an hour I gave up.

Great communication, very comfortable, ideal location

Pros: The communication from Georgie and Charlotte was excellent. They gave very clear instructions about how to access the property and our suite. Their tips about the tides that can affect one getting on or off the island were also really helpful (essential to know when high tides are otherwise the Strood (road onto the island) can be flooded). Also tips about where to eat: their recommendation of the Coast Inn gave us a wonderful meal there (pictures attached). Overall our suite was a very pleasant, comfortable place to stay, which suited us ideally.

A lovely find for a short stay - would recommend!

Pros: Great location in West Mersea and fantastic to have a parking space at the front. Nice decor and good hotel-room style facilities.

Cons: Wall/door hooks in bathroom would very useful for robes/towels, plus a shelf/surface for toiletry items. A small bedside surface on each side of the bed would be great. Huge mirror slightly odd?
