Mersea Anchorage Cottage | Estuary Views

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely short break in this charming cottage. The location is one of the best on the island, down a very quiet track with views out to the estuary and a short walk down to the harbour. Cottage was well equipped and has been renovated to a high spec. Steps upstairs are steep, reflecting how old the property is, so won’t suit anyone with mobility issues, but fine for us - just added to the character of the property. Would love to return!"

Beautiful period fisherman's cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Just as described. Traditional and cosy."

A wonderful retreat on the Island of West Mersea

10/10 Excellent

"Sunshine Corner was amazing. The décor was blues, greys and other neutral colours. The goodies were appreciated: loo rolls/ brush, bathroom toiletries, salt, pepper, coffee, tea, sugar, washing up liquid/tablets, wine, biscuits milk. Recycling was easy.The king-sized beds and reclining sofas were comfortable; the cosy living room rugs were stylish. The kitchen bathroom was well equipped, but I didn’t like the bathroom light that came on if I did a night-time loo trip! It was like being under the floodlights at Wembley Stadium!The pamphlets were helpful especially the Ordnance Survey map. It was interesting, in the Visitors’ Book, to read about the origin of the name Sunshine Corner, being linked to Christian Beach Missions and now part of Scripture Union.The home is 10 minutes to the beach; it has sand, shingle, beach huts, great shells and a café. It’s a great place to fly a kite or build sandcastles. West Mersea is quite big and we found it was worth taking the car to the shops/ down to the beach at the far side of the centre. The small Coast Road carpark is best to use as: it’s beside the loos, The Blackwater Pearl Café, the crabbing pontoon, boats and old town. We did a lovely circular walk from the free app. called “Go Jauntly” around the old back streets. Colchester Zoo is worth a visit (book before to save money); we had a Wednesday Roast at The Fox Inn, which was good.Staying at Sunshine Corner is wonderful as is Mersea Island in general; the skies!"

Charming 2-bedroom terraced house in quaint West Mersea

10/10 Excellent

"Pretty cottage, in a beautiful sunny garden. We loved eating on the terrace under the wisteria. It's an old cottage with low doors, so don't forget to duck if you're tall! The stairs are very narrow, not suitable for someone with mobility issues. Only one street back from the beach and a short walk to the shops and pubs. West Mersea is very picturesque!"

1 bedroom accommodation in West Mersea, near Colchester

"Holiday was excellent. West Mersea is beautiful. Just a little more detail to cleanliness. A bistro table at the front would be perfect so we could sit outside. Restaurants just a walk away and food excellent."
