Great little getaway

The property was perfectly situated with local amenities withing walking distance - we didnt have to touch the car for the duration of our get away. The property itself was a great base with more than enough sleeping space for the 6 of us. The only downside that we noticed was the lack of a comfy sitting area after a long day of crabbing down on the jetty. The property did not advertise that it had a living room and did only mention a dining area, an over sight on our part, perhaps reducing the size of the table to a drop leaf table and moving the sofas from an upstairs bedroom to downstairs would remedy this? Just a suggestion to put the cherry on the cake. Thank you for allowing us to holiday in your home for a week. Mersea we will be seeing you again soon.

A nice flat near the ocean

We stayed here for two nights in order to take my daughter to Colchester zoo. We enjoyed the short walk to the seaside, plus some excellent seafood dining just 10 minutes walk away. Thanks!

The property was perfectly situated for us to visit our family and the beach. We left a set of keys behind and Mas and Tony got them back to us speedily for which we were very grateful
