Very nice house in great location

The house was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Lovely welcome from the propery owner. Dog friendly beach only a short walk away. Shops etc. a slightly longer walk, or a short car journey. Great place from which to explore Mersea island and the surrounding area.
