Summary: Overall lovely house lots of lovely quirky bits, just a couple of grubby bits. Small garden quite overgrown making it hard to walk up the steps, the wooden bench outside starting to rot. None of this detracted from our enjoyment, obviously the great weather helped 😎

Summary: Quiet position but easily accessed. Keen sailing family's genuine holiday home. Cosy feel but good size rooms with everything you'd need and thoughtful touches on arrival. Room for 6 but only 2 bedrooms, 2nd bedroom with 4 bunk beds. Private sun-trap courtyard.

Summary: Lovely house. Very well equipped for adults and children. Brilliant location for the harbour. Part of a small group of modern houses but very quiet and relaxing. A couple of very minor cleaning issues easily resolved

Summary: I grew up on Mersea and wanted to return with my teenagers. The cabin was perfect for us, both in location and layout. We loved its homely feel and would definitely recommend.

Summary: We chose this location as it is close to family in Colchester who we hadn’t been able to see for many months. Having spent my childhood in Essex I can’t believe that I didn’t know about the island. I absolutely loved it and hope to return. The cottage is perfectly located and has everything we could have wanted. It feels like a home as soon as you arrive. We unfortunately managed to lock ourselves out one day and it was dealt with extremely promptly. Thank you

Summary: A real cosy cottage that feels light and airy, with every home comfort. Within walking distance of the coast and all the walks that the island has to offer. Great food in the locality, from traditoonsl fayre to seafood specialities. Loved our week.
