You won't be disappointed! This Secret Mersea Island retreat offers stylish contemporary-styled self-contained accommodation in West Mersea just minutes from the anchorage, restaurants, world-famous Company shed, yacht club and local cafes. This is a real couples or small family getaway. The living area is open plan to the dining and kitchen areas, the double bedroom overlooks the courtyard garden and a contemporary-styled bathroom has both a bath and walk-in shower. Small pets welcome. Parking
I've been hosting properties for several years and enjoy making sure that my guests have a great experience staying in our accomodation on Mersea Island
Mersea island has so much to offer from couples to family alike with beautiful walks along the estuary to walks through the village, water sports including sailing, boat trips and crabbing. Lots of restaurants including the famous Oyster Bar or you may want to source local produce from the village shops with its abundance of coffee shops.
