Very spacious kitchen and sitting room and having the extra outside table space was a bonus.The location was very quiet, and ideal for walks or just sitting looking at the view.The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms had excellent showers with plenty of hot water.

Family Get Together

I couldn't fault this beautiful spacious home. It had everything we needed for the perfect family get away, and the playroom and trampoline in the garden got a big thumbs up from my grandchildren. The location was great for exploring everything that West Mersea has to offer, especially the seafood! Everyone went away feeling totally relaxed! One big thumbs up for me, was that John the owner greeted me at the property in person to show me how everything worked!
