About this cottage rental

'The Cabin' is a pretty, coastal, two bedroom cottage on West Mersea Island, Colchester, Essex, England. It is a few steps to the sea on a much sought after quiet lane. There are beautiful beach walks and bike rides. Stop on the way at Dukes Sea Food, Seafood at Dawn, The Coast Inn, White Hart or the infamous Company Shed for some fabulous fresh fish either to take home or eat in.

The cottage sleeps 6 in two good sized bedrooms, one with a Super King size bed and Tempura mattress & and one with a King size double and a bunk bed, only children on the top bunk please). Black out blinds in both rooms and so so quiet... Watch for the red squirrels in the garden in the early morning.

The bathroom is upstairs and has a large walk in shower cubicle.

The kitchen is well equipped and has bright seaside design which continues into the comfortable living room. It has a small enclosed private courtyard garden which is a sun trap in the summer and out of the wind during the colder months.

Well behaved dogs are welcome, there is a gate and hose in the back garden for muddy paws.

There are two sailing clubs close by, a Stand up Paddleboard and windsurfing rental shop and Fishing trips are available.

Coming to Mersea is a little like stepping back in time, well known for it's traditional sailing and fishing boats. There is a nature reserve on the other side of the island and a perfect spot for walking, birdwatching or photography. You can also have the use of the two man kayak for a small extra fee.

There is a smart TV with use of Netflix and Amazon Prime (payment per view).

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 😎

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.

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

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.
