From the owner

Island Cottage is in a great location on the coast just across from the West Mersea beach, sea, shops and waterside restaurants on Mersea Island. It has a lovely beach house feel with wooden floors upstairs and white walls everywhere. From the kitchen there is a large terrace/garden with sun from morning and dining table plus at the front another delightful sitting area with both afternoon and evening sun. It is a charming, traditional cottage built in the 1700s with the characteristics of a traditional cottage but now featuring modern items like wifi, Netflix TV (password needed) and private parking.

Sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms, a double and small twin (2'6" beds suitable for children and most adults).. Downstairs there is a kitchen with double oven, hob, microwave, washing machine, a family bathroom (bath+shower over), a dining area and sitting room with TV getting Netflix and BBC iplayer (you need your log in). The bedrooms are up a few cottage steps which very elderly and immobile people can find difficult. There is a dining room area inside if not eating outside. Parking for your car in the grounds (vital in high season). Due to the increase in electricity November to March a small heating charge is payable.

    A little gem
    May 2023

    Bijou cottage with lovely garden near the water with views of the sea from the bedroom. Bonus is the off street parking.
