About this cottage rental
'The Cabin' is a pretty, coastal, two bedroom cottage on West Mersea Island, Colchester, Essex, England. It is a few steps to the sea on a much sought after quiet lane. There are beautiful beach walks and bike rides. Stop on the way at Dukes Sea Food, Seafood at Dawn, The Coast Inn, White Hart or the infamous Company Shed for some fabulous fresh fish either to take home or eat in.
The cottage sleeps 6 in two good sized bedrooms, one with a Super King size bed and Tempura mattress & and one with a King size double and a bunk bed, only children on the top bunk please). Black out blinds in both rooms and so so quiet... Watch for the red squirrels in the garden in the early morning.
The bathroom is upstairs and has a large walk in shower cubicle.
The kitchen is well equipped and has bright seaside design which continues into the comfortable living room. It has a small enclosed private courtyard garden which is a sun trap in the summer and out of the wind during the colder months.
Well behaved dogs are welcome, there is a gate and hose in the back garden for muddy paws.
There are two sailing clubs close by, a Stand up Paddleboard and windsurfing rental shop and Fishing trips are available.
Coming to Mersea is a little like stepping back in time, well known for it's traditional sailing and fishing boats. There is a nature reserve on the other side of the island and a perfect spot for walking, birdwatching or photography. You can also have the use of the two man kayak for a small extra fee.
There is a smart TV with use of Netflix and Amazon Prime (payment per view).

5.0 / 10.0·Oct 2020
Clean, comfortable, stylish and spacious cottage. Excellent base for walking, cycling, kayaking and boat trips. Within less than five minutes walk there are plenty of lovely places to eat and watch the sunset. Turn right at the harbour for a wonderful walk along the water towards the Strood. The cottage itself is tucked away down a quiet and idyllic lane with easy parking if you come in two cars. Highly recommended this cottage and the Island. We have come away with wonderful memories and some fantastic photos! Have already recommended this cottage to friends and family. Thank you Emma for your attentive communication and comfortable stay.
