Great host, really helpful and accommodating. Private parking to the side. Enjoyed a quiet break away and walked for miles along the shore which is close by to the park. Lots of interesting war related information and old pill boxes scattered along the beach. Short drive to the village which had plenty of little shops, cages and pubs.

The host Jacqui provides a real caring approach to her business ensuring her customers feel welcome comfortable and special with personal touches. The caravan is maintained to a high standard and the host communicates promptly with her customers.. The caravan is a lovely stay and as a regular I thoroughly recommend it for consistent quality value and customer care. Thank you Jacqui.

It has been 8 weeks since my partner and I checked out and the host, Jacqui, still hasn't refunded our security deposit. We left the property spotless and she confirmed in writing that it would be refunded in full and has subsequently stopped replying to messages.
Per the T&Cs, Jacqui was required to process the refund within 10 days of checkout. Jacqui is not responding to my messages. I have escalated this to Booking.com who have tried to contact Jacqui on several occasions. Jacqui answered the phone to Booking.com once and said she would refund the deposit the following day. This still hasn't happened and she has still not contacted or responded to me.
Booking.com are aware of this issue and have not removed the host from the platform which is concerning.
I am still trying to secure this refund and am very disappointed in the host and the lack of action taking by Booking.com against her.
Avoid this place.

The host is very friendly and genuinely wants you to enjoy this " Happy Place" and we certainly did and look forward to returning ASAP!

The caravan was okay for a two-night stay.
There was no reception and the WiFi didn’t work at all, which was inconvenient.
What really let the experience down was the deposit process. The owner insisted on a £60 cash deposit upon arrival, which (the point that it had to be cash) wasn’t mentioned in advance, and refused to accept card payments.
Instead, she asked for the money to be transferred to a private bank account, which felt unusual and unprofessional. We had to go back and forth several times to try and sort it out, and our payment provider (Wise) even flagged the transaction as suspicious.
We’ve never encountered anything like this before—normally, any deposit is handled through the booking platform or by card, not by transferring money directly to someone’s private account.

The van felt comfy and cosy and allowed for a good wind down from life, me and my fitness enjoyed being able to relax, play some card games and enjoy a new area
There is nothing that comes to mind when I think of problems with the van

Friendly host.
Had all amenities needed, oven, microwave, fridge, hob, table and chairs, saupans etc. Tv, sofas etc
Cosy place.
Car space outside.
Near to the beach.
Some board games to keep the kids occupied.
Great price
Outside table and chairs waa lovely on a warm day having lunch.
Lovely to sit in the restaurant outside and look towards the sea with a drink or ice cream
Great playground for the children.
It was nice and quiet and I did switch off from life's worries.
Good food at the restaurant.
The Internet was intermittent. Data rarely worked. But if you're there for the beach then it's fine.
Tv signal and phone signal was in and out but it's the area rather than accommodation.
We paid for passes, kids free. So 18 for 2 adults but on Mondays the pool is closed and they only let you in the pool for 45 mins at a time, so literally had to get out and occupy a toddler for 15 mins and then go back in. It says heated pool but it was luke warm. Our boy still absolutely loved the pool. The outdoor pool was closed as they said it was being cleaned but it wasn't at the time.
The beach was good, sand with stones and pebbles. The food at the restaurant was very good and the staff friendly.
The kids club for the build a bear (squishes) was not included in the pass but our 2 year old found it fun still.
Overall a good trip. First time in a static caravan and it was good.

Probably the best caravan we have stayed in! Clean, comfortable and well stocked! Is rare to have a kitchen with everything you need to actually cook a meal. The added extras were such a lovely touch and well appreciated.

Lovely caravan. Very tidy and Jacqui ( Owner) always lays the dining table for guests . Caravan Warm for colder months once heating warms up . Jacqui adds many little personal touches and cleaning supplies and various little essentials are to hand that many other caravan owners do not provide... Nice little welcome touch on my trip. Shower excellent. Wi-Fi not the best. Would thoroughly recommend this caravan and stay especially for long weekends. Shame about No Pets but this adds to The overall cleanliness of the caravan.
The shop on the Coopers Beach site ( In season) is poor for choice and very expensive in my view so go the 2 miles into West Mersea ( CO-Op - Tesco Express) for most bits of bring your own supermarket groceries if you can... Their are some little farm shops just before you turn into the lane leading to camp site.
West Mersea is lovely in the summer, especially along the seafront with nice little alfresco restaurants and lovely seafood platters.
East Mersea Cudmore Grove Country park is a lovely ,clean, large area for family picnics and outdoor games. Great for dog walking and bird hut/watching, with beach and wildlife walks combination. P!entry of parking space with Toilets and little Cafe in Season... Dog and Pheasant pub near to country park has a lovely garden area and food.
Their is also a Boating/ sailing lake just before Coopers Beach caravan site and an area for sea going boating activities at the Mersea Stone ( East Mersea). The whole island is flat and great for cycling although some of the country roads are narrow.
Mersea Island still retains its old fashioned, seaside feel, is more beach in West Mersea, with East Mersea providing more country walks with a little beach stretch combination.
NOTE: Be aware and check on the internet the tide times as,you will not be able to get on or off the Island at High (Spring) Tides as the Strood roadway connecting access to and from the Island floods during high tides.
Poor campsite Shop.. Wi-Fi on the site not great.. I have never tried the campsite entertainment so cannot comment although the swimming pools look nice.

Lovely caravan and a lovely host who keeps it well and takes pride. I did have problems on my stay with the Wi-Fi and TV reception with only the BBC channels being regular in signal. However Jacqueline really takes pride in her caravan and it's facilities and apart from the issues above that perhaps may need looking into at some point I thoroughly recommend this caravan and stay for other guests and families.
Thank you Jacqueline..
