Not what was advertised at all.

The carvan was Nothing like described. I was very basic and needs a lot of TLC. The carpet was stained and dirty the pillows on the sofa dirty and fraying. The photos online and the actual accommodation are worlds apart. My partner is a dont complaint guy so we didnt. It was somewhere to rest thats it. But woukd never stay again. The park is very quite and on a lovely location near the beach. What a shame the van let down the park as a whole.

Mersea a gem

The accommodation was spotless. Very comfortable bed, nice crisp bed linen. Loved the welcome pack. All staff went out of their way to be helpful. Loved the pool. Basic tasty food at the Muddy duck. So quiet and peaceful. A haven of nature, full of birdsong. Would definitely stay again. Very good value for money

All good except few minor things

The TriBeCa accommodation is beautiful and hot tub area very private. Kitchen has all necessities inc dishwasher but imo should have a coffee machine or something to make filter coffee's. Roll top bath and in master bedroom a nice touch but the tv was not working on my visit I have rebooked to go in march so hopefully it will be fixed by then. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Area is quiet and peaceful.

So so

We booked an 8 berth superior mobile home. It was okay. Close to main entrance. No front deck but a side deck with a table and chairs to seat 4 people. It was clean and tidy with fresh linen although the smell of damp dog was very strong! Everything in good working order but one of the windows didn't fit the space properly and was letting cold air in. A good site with everything obviously well maintained and cared for. We arrived at 6pm and the reception was closed. We followed the out of hours instructions as per the notice on the door but no-one answered the phone or returned our call until the next day! Thankfully we found an email from hotels.com with a code to access our key, otherwise we would have been stranded. Google says site is open until 7pm but no-one available to help at 6pm, so just be aware.
