Excellent communication from the owners and they were kind enough to not only allow us to park at the property before our check in time, but also sort an earlier check in than planned.
It’s in a very good location and close to the beach.
Only tiny annoyance was that it was virtually impossible to get any channels on the TV. Had been out all day and evening and tried to put terrestrial TV on once we got back, but nothing I tried worked. After half an hour I gave up.

The communication from Georgie and Charlotte was excellent. They gave very clear instructions about how to access the property and our suite. Their tips about the tides that can affect one getting on or off the island were also really helpful (essential to know when high tides are otherwise the Strood (road onto the island) can be flooded). Also tips about where to eat: their recommendation of the Coast Inn gave us a wonderful meal there (pictures attached). Overall our suite was a very pleasant, comfortable place to stay, which suited us ideally.

Great location in West Mersea and fantastic to have a parking space at the front. Nice decor and good hotel-room style facilities.
Wall/door hooks in bathroom would very useful for robes/towels, plus a shelf/surface for toiletry items. A small bedside surface on each side of the bed would be great. Huge mirror slightly odd?

Toilet wasn’t flushed prior to our arrival !
6.0 / 10.0
Room was ok, would say perhaps needs a little update, we visited, but due to a family issue only spent a few hours in the room, due to having to come home.
Pleasant area, but not a lot to do, if you want peace and quiet, spot on location. Not a great deal to do I. The area apart from a stroll along the beach and a pint on the pub.
Can’t honestly say I didn’t like anything

8.0 / 10.0
Very quick and postive repsonse from owners about checking in a bit early and re: plumbing issue. Very clean and considerate re: supplyin dishes and cutlery so take away food possible.
No comfortable chairs or sofa and was promoted as a 'suite.' Just one dressing table stool provided. It was promoted as a 'sea front'propety on booking.com but acutually not on sea front.

Lovely large bedroom and bathroom. Parking at the front was a bonus.
We would have liked something to put our cases on like stools, chairs or ottomans rather than the floor.

We were pleased to come back again to stay for 2 nights tho not for a holiday.
Seconds away from the sea and very quiet. We did enjoy saying hello to the black cat that seemed to be just outside.
Comfy mattress but extremely squeaky bed, the pillows were ever so flat, I meant to ask for 2 extra but time flew by..

The rustic aesthetic was perfect for the house and was so cute. Everything you might need had been thought of. The contactless check-in/out was flawless. The bed was very big and comfy
I would have liked more pressure in the shower and also a smart TV but neither of those issues lessened the overall experience

The location was excellent with no problems parking and close to the beach and lots of nice walks. Bed was fairly comfortable. A few utensils and crockery had been left to make tea and breakfast but a couple of cereal bowls would have been useful.
The room was cold on our return from dinner at night as no heating was on. It was an old victorian house with a small fan heater to warm the bedroom but the bathroom was very cold. The shower did not get hot and as I am only 5 foot tall was way too high on the wall. I ended up washing my hair in the sink which was not pleasant and having a lukewarm shower. Only one plug socket available.

We had a wonderful stay! The room was incredibly clean, bright and well-maintained with all the essentials and the bed was super comfortable. The host was responsive and helpful, making our check-in smooth and easy. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful touches with helpful suggestions for local attractions. The location was also perfect, with easy access to everything we needed. Close to lovely beach, pubs, restaurants and cafes to cover all price brackets. Will definitely stay again and recommend.
Just that we couldn’t stay longer!

Plenty to like about this property! Clean, comfortable, great location with parking available. Has added touches such as tea/coffee/water with plates, cutlery and a fridge.

Comfy bed, so slept well while we were there.
We stayed two nights, couldn’t shower the whole time, the shower was freezing, no hot water. I messaged the owner and she said it would be fixed, it wasn’t, so I contacted the owner twice more and got no reply, so we couldn’t shower for our whole stay, very annoying, as this was a birthday treat for my husband’s 60th.
10.0 / 10.0
Everything was clean and tidy and we immediately felt comfortable upon arrival. The owners weren’t available to check us in but that’s not an issue for us as they left clear instructions on how to get to our room.
They also have a little friend that sits outside the building and loves all the pets it can get.
Nothing at all.

Really very easy to book. Host provided lots of information regarding accommodation and surrounding location and was quick to respond to any queries. The room was very comfortable, the bed was amazing, so comfortable, and we both had the best nights sleep, and everything you needed for a comfortable night's stay was provided, towels, toiletries, tea/coffee, hairdryer, iron/ironing board to mention but a few.
Being an older property, noise travelled and you could hear other occupants which made us very mindful of any noise we made which was a little difficult for my partner who has problems with his hearing and is not always very quiet. Having the little fan heater was a bonus as, with the curtains drawn, you did not feel the benefit of the heating from the radiator below the window. The above I mention more as observations and should not be taken as spoiling our stay.

Parking outside the property or on-street if you don't get one of the four spaces. Nice room, comfortable bed, great shower. Check in is remote, details given through Booking.com, key pad on outside door and your key is in the room door waiting for you. Wifi has a good signal and is relatively fast. Would happily use again.
For me it was all fine.

Very easy check-in instructions. Room was immaculate and beautifully decorated. Great location, close to the main town and the beach. Parking available on drive or right outside on street. Perfect stay, would 100% recommend.
