Top Mersea Island Museum Hotel Reviews

The Victory at Mersea

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely room with balcony overlooking the harbour. Everything about the room was perfect and it was excellent value for money. The bed was comfortable and it was exciting to wake up with such amazing views. Our first visit to Mersea. The draw was the possibility of fresh seafood and we found that at the Seafood at Dawn restaurant just over the road. The hotel was fairly quiet during our stay but we imagine it must be difficult to get a room there during the summer season. We enjoyed the walks along the Coast Road, excellent cafes and seafood outlets. Out of season Mersea is very quiet and relaxing! Plenty of fresh air. Highly recommended."

The Boat House at Tides Reach

10/10 Excellent

"Lovers place with everything catered for lovely host first class"

Mersea Anchorage Cottage | Estuary Views

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely short break in this charming cottage. The location is one of the best on the island, down a very quiet track with views out to the estuary and a short walk down to the harbour. Cottage was well equipped and has been renovated to a high spec. Steps upstairs are steep, reflecting how old the property is, so won’t suit anyone with mobility issues, but fine for us - just added to the character of the property. Would love to return!"

Beautiful period fisherman's cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Just as described. Traditional and cosy."

A wonderful retreat on the Island of West Mersea

10/10 Excellent

"Sunshine Corner was amazing. The décor was blues, greys and other neutral colours. The goodies were appreciated: loo rolls/ brush, bathroom toiletries, salt, pepper, coffee, tea, sugar, washing up liquid/tablets, wine, biscuits milk. Recycling was easy.The king-sized beds and reclining sofas were comfortable; the cosy living room rugs were stylish. The kitchen bathroom was well equipped, but I didn’t like the bathroom light that came on if I did a night-time loo trip! It was like being under the floodlights at Wembley Stadium!The pamphlets were helpful especially the Ordnance Survey map. It was interesting, in the Visitors’ Book, to read about the origin of the name Sunshine Corner, being linked to Christian Beach Missions and now part of Scripture Union.The home is 10 minutes to the beach; it has sand, shingle, beach huts, great shells and a café. It’s a great place to fly a kite or build sandcastles. West Mersea is quite big and we found it was worth taking the car to the shops/ down to the beach at the far side of the centre. The small Coast Road carpark is best to use as: it’s beside the loos, The Blackwater Pearl Café, the crabbing pontoon, boats and old town. We did a lovely circular walk from the free app. called “Go Jauntly” around the old back streets. Colchester Zoo is worth a visit (book before to save money); we had a Wednesday Roast at The Fox Inn, which was good.Staying at Sunshine Corner is wonderful as is Mersea Island in general; the skies!"

Charming 2-bedroom terraced house in quaint West Mersea

10/10 Excellent

"Pretty cottage, in a beautiful sunny garden. We loved eating on the terrace under the wisteria. It's an old cottage with low doors, so don't forget to duck if you're tall! The stairs are very narrow, not suitable for someone with mobility issues. Only one street back from the beach and a short walk to the shops and pubs. West Mersea is very picturesque!"

Spacious Island beach house. w/Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Island House is a spacious 4 bedroom detached house

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful time staying here, the house is very spacious and the kitchen had everything we needed. Jamie was very responsive when we ran into a small issue with the oven and resolved it very quickly. We would definitely stay here again."

1 bedroom accommodation in West Mersea, near Colchester

8/10 Good

"Holiday was excellent. West Mersea is beautiful. Just a little more detail to cleanliness. A bistro table at the front would be perfect so we could sit outside. Restaurants just a walk away and food excellent."
