Fabulous location and very close to Monkey beach and the village High St.
Suite was spacious and in all well presented.
It was pitch black when I arrived so having the porch light on would’ve been helpful to see the key code box, and more welcoming.
On my first morning I went out for an early long walk and breakfast, there was NO hot water for a shower on my return mid morning ☹️
There was however hot water in the evening but the shower/water is almost nonexistent!…. I get the 3~leaf thing but, seriously I’d rather be in the shower for two minutes than having to spend more than 10 minutes trying to rinse shampoo out of my hair! 🤦♀️
Plus the shower leaves a big puddle on the floor so be sure to use the bath mat provided… I also had to place towels on the floor so just as well it was just me.
The TV was HALF the size of the one shown in the photos and certainly NOT a Smart TV as stated, so NO Netflix or iPlayer, just bog standard Old School channels
I’d messaged the hosts prior to my stay about the buses into the island but they didn’t respond and In fact not only do they have 2 year out-of date magazines on the coffee table, they also have notices that ‘recommend’ getting the number 67 bus….. which doesn’t actually exist anymore 🤦♀️

Lovely comfortable stay so close to the front with lovely walks. We stayed last year in the retreat and also enjoyed our stay in the mariners Suite. Great location
The only slight complaint would be the water pressure on the shower but this was explained and totally understandable. But the shower was lovely and warm and soap, shampoo and conditioner provided which was god quality

Location is very good. A short walk ( 5 min ) to the beach, town centre cafes or the riverside restaurants and marinas. No problem parking. Spacious apartment and very quiet at night.
Decor a little bit run down, a bit shabby. Shower OK, but very poor hot water supply to the basin. Poor water pressure.

Good space and great location.
Very reasonably priced
Nice having the space all open planned.
The bathroom needs a little updating, shower not great and shower tray needs mastic changing to freshen it up a little. Bed a very small double and unfortunately the matress had stains on that showed through to sheet and the duvet itself didn't fit the cover and unfortunately was very grubby and stained.
Would have liked a bedside table and maybe a fridge not a cooler.

Overall appearance was good. The location was very good for our purpose.
The shower was temperamental. There was a smell of stagnant water in the bathroom.
The rug in the lounge area was filthy. A locked cupboard had a green glow emanating from it. It was disconcerting not to know what was in the cupboard. We switched off the small fridge because it was noisy..

The location is perfect..and parking on drive for 4 cars very convenient although there is also parking in the Rd .
Just a 5 min walk through 'the folly' 2 doors down takes you into the town..and monkey beach a stones throw away
Main Door entry easy with door code . Room was
Spotlessly clean and lovely fresh scents greeted you and the finishing touches appreciated. There was tea, sugar, coffee and milk on the welcome table and Fridge and fan were very welcome editions on our hot weekend. bed very comfortable and lovely fresh cotton linen. Towels were also supplied.
Good strong wi fi connection and no problem with the tv.
Bathroom and shower cubicle a nice size with quality toiletries.
The shower has quite low pressure.
..we would definitely return if Shower pressure was up -graded..
But still had a lovely weekend thankyou.

We were wowed on arrival by the lovely tranquil feel to the room.. no other guests on arrival, so we did feel like we had it to ourselves.. the temperature was lovely& warm for a walk& beautiful and cool inside, the sound proofing was amazing and it was the first time in a long time to relax& watch a bit of tv
No hot water, which did unsettled the routine in the ambulance.. the tides can be a bit of a problem, the town is overpriced though it's near Tiptree.. some of the locals are hostile& intimidating,have weird rituals being a 1 road in& out town, first time we visited in a long time and no one looked normal on the public transport

A bedside table would have been nice with a lamp. Also maybe a message how to get the shower flowing with warm water. The tv remote gas list it’s battery insert backing. Overall a very lovely room, great location to West Mersey and very peaceful.

Location for beach, town for breakfast and Mersea Yacht Club where I went to dinner.
The room was cold over night with no heating and only one very small extra blanket.
10.0 / 10.0
Everything, it’s comfy and cosy. Very clean and beautifully decorated. We were pleased to have been equipped with a small heater that warmed the room up nice and quickly. We just can’t fault the attention to detail.
It’s not feasible sadly but would be nice to have a bed side table on both sides of the bed but with the bathroom door placed where it is, it’s not possible but maybe just a plug socket to allow charging of phones etc would be really handy but other than that we loved it all.
