My friends and I had a wonderful stay at the property. The house was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. The hot tub was an added bonus and was spotlessly clean. Our host couldn’t have been any more helpful and communication was seamless. I would highly recommend the property and hope to return.

Family Get Together

I couldn't fault this beautiful spacious home. It had everything we needed for the perfect family get away, and the playroom and trampoline in the garden got a big thumbs up from my grandchildren. The location was great for exploring everything that West Mersea has to offer, especially the seafood! Everyone went away feeling totally relaxed! One big thumbs up for me, was that John the owner greeted me at the property in person to show me how everything worked!
