2 Bedroom Cottage in West Mersea, Mersea island

Island Cottage is a traditional waterside cottage with wifi and parking on the grounds, sleeping 4 people in 2 bedrooms. It is just a stones throw from the Mersea Island swimming and beach as can be seen in the pictures. This is a real, original, period cottage dating back to 1700s with the inherent charm and characteristics of an old cottage. It has a delightful, sunny, beach-house feel, a comfortable sitting room, dining area, well -equipped kitchen (washing machine, hob/cooker, microwave) and bathroom, all downstairs. Upstairs there are two bedrooms - a good sized double and a twin (2' 6' beds) with a 10 step staircase to the upstairs, see pics. It is in a perfect location with a path to the water and beach, 2 minutes from the village shops and a short stroll along the coast to the waterside restaurants e.g. The Company Shed (renowned as one of the best fresh fish/shellfish places in the UK), the Coast Inn and the Dukes waterside eating.

Elizabeth said 'We enjoyed a lovely stay at Island Cottage. It was beautifully clean and tidy on our arrival. The cottage is ideally located. Walking distance to the village and just a stones throw from the beach! My children particularly enjoyed the large garden. And I loved a soak in the bath after a day at the beach. We will definitely book again.'

If you want to travel off this peaceful island you are near to Constable Country (Dedham, Flatford Mill), Wivenhoe (lovely riverside location), Mistley, Malden, Colchester and lots of delightful villages in the countryside. The island is reached by a causeway and is popular for sailing, lovely walks, birdwatching, watersports, lovely fish restaurants and generally a relaxing time. If you take the car off the island you can reach Suffolk Constable Country easily and all the lovely pubs and restaurants of Essex and Suffolk. Colchester Castle and shopping is just 9 miles away.
Local shops, delis and pubs are very near by – just a short stroll.
For fans of radio - Enjoy a visit Radio Caroline's legendary former pirate radio ship Ross Revenge where it is moored on River Blackwater in Essex.

Summary: The check-in was easy and very well explained before. We found everything we expected since the description in the ad was very accurate. The house was mostly very clean and we felt good. The surroundings are very beautiful. Colchester, Chelmsfordand London are easily accessible and enabled a variety of exciting activities. We take home a big suitcase full of beautiful memories.

Summary: Overall good. In a good location with easy walking to beach and shops. Also daughter and son-in-law close to parents house. Slight problem with shower - possibly caused by weak water pressure as not always easy to wash hair.

Summary: We had a lovely relaxing stay at the cottage. Such a warm friendly welcome from Diane. The facilities in the cottage were fantastic with everything we needed. The location is also perfect and close to everything from shops, pubs and the beach. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice little getaway in a beautiful part of Essex.

Summary: We (my husband and I and our 17 year old son) spent 10 days at the cottage in July 2023. The cottage is centrally located and close to the beach, restaurants, cafes and grocery stores. We highly recommend the Art Cafe for breakfast and lunch (call to reserve a table as they get busy) and the Coast Inn that overlooks the water for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Both are within walking distance of the cottage. The cottage itself it absolutely lovely and comes with everything you need for your stay. As mentioned in the listing this is a small cottage with tricky stairs so although it was perfect for us it may not be suitable for the elderly or people with little kiddos. We will definitely stay here again as we loved every minute of it.

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, it's in a lovely quiet location and so close to the beach and short walk to the village. We had everything we needed for our stay and were very comfortable there which is important to us after traveling from the US. We will keep this cottage in mind for future visits. The host was easily reachable, friendly and helped with heating etc even though we weren't expecting to need it.
