"This property is in a great location. It was spotlessly cleaned and had everything you could possibly need. The owner had liaised with me before arrival and had toddler proofed the property so we could relax and enjoy the space. So many quirky touches that enhanced the experience. This was a family break with a toddler, her mother, grandmother and great grandmother, and each generation was comfortable and enjoyed the stay. "

"Prior communication was comprehensive and helpful. Location was excellent with easy drives to Canterbury and surrounding area. Loved the pool. "

"This home was beautiful it looks even better in person. Daniel was an extremely great host, easy to communicate with and overall just a lovely person. I hope to book again in the summer!"

Large south facing lounge. A lovely place to sit and look at the garden. Always

"This is an excellent location to stay when staying on Mersea Island. Plenty of restaurants nearby and few minute walk to sea. Well appointed house with good garden facilities, owner in good contact if needed. Thank you"

"Unfortunately the apartment was doubled booked on the day of our arrival so our short holiday had to be cancelled. We await a full refund. Fingers crossed!"

"We get good responsive action when we needed the flower and front garden cut. back garden need cutting, insect started entering the house, shower curtain need to be fixed but response, we mop water everyday after shower. We stayed over 3 weeks no cleaner to clean and we paid for cleaning each time we extend our stay. We will go else where so that the house can be cleaned when we leave instead of extending it and remain in the unkept environment. We stayed that long because of nearness to home...

"The price was great, good location if not the prettiest of views. Right next to the high street and lots of shops, restaurants and local transport. Next door to a large public car park which can be paid with the ring go app. Not the cheapest parking but we knew before booking and were away from the flat for the days anyway. The flat lock is accessed by an app which took a bit of getting used to, but was much more convenient overall than an in person check in. Service was really attentive and...

"We really enjoyed our stay here. Host was excellent: knowledgeable and welcoming. Location was good, secluded enough but easy to get to all areas of the island. Food selection in kitchen was fab and available 24/7, never had that at a b&b before. Room comfortable and internet readily available too. "
