Mersea Island Cottage by the beach and coast. August & September availability!

A top location - with the beach and waterside just across from the cottage, and views towards the waterside from both bedrooms. Lovely local food shops and excellent seafood restaurants like The Company Shed just a short stroll away along the waterfront. Parking at the property and wifi is free.

There are two bedrooms a good size double bedroom and a twin with two beds (2'6" wide single beds suitable for children and most adults ). The family bathroom is downstairs with a fully equipped kitchen and dining room area. The sitting room includes a TV with Netflix and BBC iPlayer. As this is an old, original cottage built in 1750 the stairs are a little steep and can be difficult for those with mobility issues.

Two super sitting out areas - the back terrace with dining table and chairs, off the kitchen, gets sun from morning and the front garden gets the sun from mid morning until sunset. Also a good size garden delightful for relaxing all day.

The kitchen includes a washing machine, cooker with hob, fridge with small freezer and microwave plus all utensils for cooking and eating out on the terrace or indoors.

The island will keep you entertained with superb fish restaurants like The Company Shed, The Dukes (outside only) and Seafood at Dawn; beaches; lots of walks on West Mersea and East Mersea (sometimes a ferry taking you to Brightlingsea); boat trips and watersports (paddleboarding/kayaks etc). Mersea watersports can rent to you paddleboards, kayaks etc. If you want to go further in a car, day trips to Colchester, Maldon, Wivenhoe, Rowhedge and Constable Country are super.
