2 Bedroom Cottage in West Mersea, Mersea island

Island Cottage is a traditional fisherman’s cottage with wifi and parking on the grounds, sleeping 4 people in 2 bedrooms. It is just moments from Mersea Island swimming and beach as can be seen in the pictures. This is a real, original, period cottage dating back to 1700s with the inherent charm and characteristics of an old cottage. It has a delightful, sunny, beach-house feel, a comfortable sitting room, dining area, well -equipped kitchen (washing machine, hob/cooker, microwave) and bathroom, all downstairs. Upstairs there are two bedrooms - a good sized double and a twin (2' 6' beds) with a 10 step staircase to the upstairs, see pics. It is in a perfect location with a path to the water and beach, 2 minutes from the village shops and a short stroll along the coast to the waterside restaurants e.g. The Company Shed (renowned as one of the best fresh fish/shellfish places in the UK), the Coast Inn and the Dukes waterside eating.

There is a large garden with sunny sitting out area back and front and garden furniture also Smart TV with Netflix, iPlayer and digital channels. Elizabeth said 'We enjoyed a lovely stay at Island Cottage. It was beautifully clean and tidy on our arrival. The cottage is ideally located. Walking distance to the village and just a stones throw from the beach! My children particularly enjoyed the large garden. And I loved a soak in the bath after a day at the beach. We will definitely book again.'
The cottage is available to start on flexible days through the week for 2, 3, 6, 7 nights or monthly depending on time of year, please contact the owner to request via this website - just ask!
Parking is available on the property grounds.

If you want to travel off this peaceful island you are near to Constable Country (Dedham, Flatford Mill), Wivenhoe (lovely riverside location), Mistley, Malden, Colchester and lots of delightful villages in the countryside. The island is reached by a causeway and is popular for sailing, lovely walks, birdwatching, watersports, lovely fish restaurants and generally a relaxing time. If you take the car off the island you can reach Suffolk Constable Country easily and all the lovely pubs and restaurants of Essex and Suffolk. Colchester Castle and shopping is just 9 miles away.
Local shops, delis and pubs are very near by – just a short stroll.
For fans of radio - Enjoy a visit Radio Caroline's legendary former pirate radio ship Ross Revenge where it is moored on River Blackwater in Essex.
