Good quality fixtures and fittings have been used and the property benefits from a modern kitchen and two bathrooms, the en-suite also has a bath.

What a great base to explore everything that Mersea Island has to offer.
Only 300 yards to the beach where you can explore or just take in the seaside sights. On-site, there is a beachside café and park as well as a small shop (seasonal) and a bar serving food & drinks. Mersea Island is famous for its seafood, oysters and sailing, but has so much more to offer. Walkers, cyclists and water sports lovers will enjoy the location. Close by you’ll find tea rooms, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants as well as a butcher, bakery and supermarkets.
Cudmore Grove Country Park is situated a short distance away at East Mersea and is terrific those who prefer green open spaces and quieter spots. Mersea Island is a great base but if you want to get out and about then only 20 minutes away and you can be in the historic city of Colchester or the market town of Maldon, both well worth a visit. Further afield you’ll find both Chelmsford and Southend – why not put them on your bucket list? This property is perfect for guests who like to get out and about, or just pop their feet up!
