Cottage vacation rentals in West Mersea

The pictures really do match the reality. Beautiful house, large private garden, peaceful surroundings. Kitchen was as shown, large, all the neccesary pots, pans, crockery and utensils. Lounge was large and comfortable. Hot tub is obviously a large plus and the location makes for a peaceful a d private experience. If I had to provide feedback, the only change I would make would be the mattresses. We are possibly a little spoilt at home but a small upgrade to them would make the difference. Overall the accomodation was exactly as shown, Russell was a friendly, helpful and responsive host and we had a great time.

Great location and Paul was a very helpful and communicative host, even helping one of our guests recover some belongings they had left behind. Thank you very much, Emily

Was already impressed with the pictures on the listing but the property exceeded my expectations. Somehow it was better than the pictures would suggest!! Secluded, clean, charming, comfortable, spacious, characterful. Beautiful views. Friendly donkeys. Immaculate gardens. Tranquil walks. The most equipped kitchen you can imagine. We were a group of 8 and everyone felt at home instantly. The one thing I would say is that the hot tub certainly needs pre-heating before you arrive if you intend using it the day you get there- it took at least 8 hours+ of rigorous attention to the wood fire to reach temperature. Overall a truly memorable and lovely stay. Thank you.

Hollie was fast responsive when I had messaged her before booking. The cottage was lovely and warm when we arrived and the hot tub was ready for use. We had a great stay here and enjoyed our time x

A beautiful cottage set in beautiful grounds. Perfect for our teenage girls who loved the hot tub and fire pit. Amanda our host was great and very helpful. Would definitely would love to stay again.

As a family of foodies and in particular loving shellfish West mersea and the cottage were absolutely perfect for us. Our two teenagers loved the hot tub and we thoroughly enjoyed cooking good food in the small but perfectly formed kitchen and sitting in the sunshine in a very pretty deck watching the world go by. three nights was a treat, But perhaps a few extra just to make sure we could try all of the wonderful food offerings West Mersey provides . Thanks Roland for being a great host - we loved the cottage and would love to return.

Fantastic cottage in idyllic location. Photos do not do it justice - it’s a beautiful cottage, full of character and charm. Lovely garden too. Had a wonderful stay and communication was excellent.

Our stay at Rise Cottage was perfect. The cottage itself is charming and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Mark was the perfect host. He showed us round the grounds and the cottage and gave us some helpful tips as to local places to visit. We would definitely visit again!

We had an amazing stay at 4 Angel Lane, Woodbridge. The cottage is small but has everything that you need as well as being in a perfect location. With the bonus of a lovely garden to enjoy the early spring sunshine our break was everything we were wanting. Thank you x

Adam welcomed us on arrival and was friendly and accommodating. When we needed to contact them about a couple of minor things, they were responded very quickly and dealt with any small issues immediately. Very friendly and provided local information. Accommodation was as expected, presented well - a 400 year old cottage with quirky, rustic and therefore in keeping decoration. Well appointed and plenty of kitchen accessories for cooking in if that's what you want to do. A lovely welcome pack provided :-) Nice pub over the road, beautiful walks to local villages with other great places to eat, a good location for a relaxing and walking and admiring the local scenery.. Area popular with bird watchers it seems (being right on the estuary...) Some road noise outside as the cottage is right on the road, but you soon get used to this if you're not already.

Fabulous week long stay at The Stables. Really nice, well appointed, private accommodation and a perfect location for walks with the dog or as a base for exploring the area. Amanda was the perfect host. We thoroughly recommend The Stables.

Had a wonderful Easter with relatives in Chelmsford. The property was beautiful. Everything we needed and more. The welcome hamper was a very thoughtful touch. Great shower and the beds were extremely comfortable. Will definitely book again. Thank you Helen.

Really enjoyed our stay in Burnham on Crouch and this property is very well located to explore the area. Quirky, tastefully decorated and well furnished. Lovely, well designed garden allows you to take in the sun all through the day. Local convenience store is very close by and Burnham has many great pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. All of which are pretty much a stones throw away. Parking was a little tricky as we had to use the free public car park but once we found the little alley at the end of the terrace the car park is actually only 1min away. Really enjoyed our stay.

We had a great Easter break, it was quiet and met all our needs to be able to walk each day and not really need to get into the car. The layout was ideal for us and the 2 dogs and though there are people around you we felt private and did not hear any of the neighbours, the kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was very comfortable and so was the bed which was a plus. Would definitely consider using this as a base again.

We had a lovely time at Rockhopper. It is warm and cosy, the beds were extremely comfortable and the appliances are very modern. The kitchen/dining area is large and very attractive with lots of light coming in. The sitting room is cosy with a large TV. It was fabulous being able to walk to the pub within a minute and we loved the walk along the river and particularly to go out to see the sunrise over the water. Megan is a very proactive host, allowing us to go in early because the cottage was ready early and helping us by organising something we left behind to be sent on.

Cottage in a great location. In quiet lane. A short walk into historic Woodbrige - 3 mins. Similarly a short stroll to river front. Cottage is very comfortable and welcoming. Excellent. Thoroughly recommended. Would go again :-)

Cumfortable, well equiped accommodation. Excellent location for quiet stay. Owners are super friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much. Definitely recommend.

The cottage is beautifully presented and the location is great - private and quiet but within a short walk of the harbour and the beach. This was our first time on Mersea Island but I’m sure we will return. Judy was an outstanding host, answering all our questions very promptly, and very kindly leaving provisions for us. The quality of the accommodation was even better than we expected from the photos. We visited with our grandchildren aged 3 and 5, and they loved the cottage and crab fishing from the nearby pier. I completely agree with the high ratings in the Air BnB website, and I recommend the cottage very highly indeed.

We had a fantastic stay! The house is incredibly cozy, making for a truly special experience. West Mersea was a delightful surprise—a charming and beautiful town that we absolutely loved exploring.

Lovely place, exactly as described and with everything you could want. Close to all we needed - town, beach, walks. Appreciated all the extras (and bottle of wine) provided by Angie. Mersea island is a fantastic place for a rest, for great seafood, for walks (we managed a 15 mile walk around the island) and nearby nature reserves.

Authentic little bolt hole in the middle of Lavenham, yet just away from the hustle and bustle of the high street making it lovely and quiet. Quirky, boutique and perfectly formed for such a traditional cottage, with a gem of a garden. Lovely linens, comfy beds and fluffy towels too.

Stunning cottage in stunning grounds of a stately home / manor. The cottage is in a private orchard so you have a lovely very large green / garden with the accompanying birdsong to enjoy to yourselves! There are no other cottages so the grounds are private and wonderful to explore on foot too. The kids brought their bikes for some cycling on the attached woodland paths and lovely for morning or evening walks. The cottage itself is modern, spotless and well heated, lovely roll top bath and walk in showers. The cottage from outside to in is all one floor so great for our baby who was crawling (there is one step between the kitchen and living room). Hosts were very responsive and welcoming.
