    The location is excellent. Literally a three minute stroll to the seafront and eating places. The accommodation is very stylish with a very swish modern bathroom. Very clean, everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Small pets welcome. Parking
I've been hosting properties for several years and enjoy making sure that my guests have a great experience staying in our accomodation on Mersea Island
Mersea island has so much to offer from couples to family alike with beautiful walks along the estuary to walks through the village, water sports including sailing, boat trips and crabbing. Lots of restaurants including the famous Oyster Bar or you may want to source local produce from the village shops with its abundance of coffee shops.
