Guest Reviews
- Stephanie (10/5): Relaxing, comfortable and simply perfect! - Fabulous house which was extremely well-equipped. Excellent location. Everything was perfect - loved everything.
- jane (10/5): exceeded our expectations - we had an amazing stay - will def return - it is amazingly furnish and so many thoughtfull bits. You could literally just go there with spare clothes and anything else you need, whether its baths bits, dog bits, games, books it's all there. Amazing. Location is great - 5 mins to the beach and amenities all close by nothing
- chris bangs (10/5): EXCEPTIONAL!!! As good as it gets - Asimply wonderful house for a coastal break. Absolutely dog friendly with a lovely garden our 2 dogs loved. Amanda the host gets 11 stars for one of the nicest placed to stay we have ever enjoyed and we travel a lot from short break trips and family visits
- gary (10/5): - Great size fully equipped and clean, the cake was a lovely touch
- Deana (9/5): Comfortable and cosy! - We stayed over Easter and had a great weekend. The house really is home from home…so comfortable! And ‘Red’ loved the garden and all the doggie treats 😊 Amanda is an amazing host and made us a delicious Victoria sponge…with fresh eggs left for our breakfast too. Would highly recommend! That fact we had to leave 😩😂
- Emma (10/5): -
- Anna (10/5): This is an exceptional property to stay in and explore West Mersea and the surrounding areas. - The contact prior to our arrival, the location, the cleanliness of the house, the attention to detail, the care and thought from the host. Everything had been thought of and Amanda (the host) had also made us the most fabulous cake. No negative comments
- ruslanas (10/5): -
- TERENCE (10/5): Fantastic stay in a lovely house .... would return. - Attention to detail in the property was excellent (nothing was overlooked)
We had everything we needed and more.
The cake and fresh eggs were a very welcome bonus. Cannot think of anything that would improve
- Rebecca (10/5): A great house in a brilliant location. - This house was amazing! Very clean, lots of lovely touches, everything we could have wanted. It is in a brilliant location with the beach, cafes and restaurants all in walking distance. The host was lovely, so accommodating. We would definitely recommend. Nothing.
- Panos (10/5): Comfortable, quality family break in a peaceful Essex countryside place. - We were particularly impressed with all the amenities in the house; all the potential needs and requirements were anticipated / taken care of. The house layout makes one feel comfortable and there is a lovely conservatory looking at the back garden. We intend to visit again. The visit was a result of a re-booking (originally booked for May but the visit needed to be postponed). However, it seems that there was a miscommunication between booking.com / ourselves / the landlords and this was dragging on for some time. I am not sure whose responsibility was that, but I tried my best to sort out.
Also some of the personal car drivers in the wider area did not seem to concur with the peaceful countryside setting....
- Robb (10/5): Wonderful! - Everything was wonderful – the hosts, the location, the accommodation, the cleanliness, the cake! And my partner particularly appreciated the coffee machine (and coffee pods). ☕️
Pet friendliness was really important to us, so it was lovely to find dog toys (and treats!) We had a lovely time playing and lounging with our dogs in the garden, and the beach was only a short walk away (as were a few shops, cafes and restaurants). I only wish we'd been able to stay longer… ♥️
Just one suggestion: maybe pick up a few cheap DVDs from a charity shop to leave for the DVD player? I don't imagine many visitors will bring their own! But I couldn't bring myself to type this into the "What didn't you like?" field, as there was really nothing that we didn't like. 😊
- Kate (10/5): Fabulous stay at Klara’s House - Beautiful, comfortable home from home. This was our second time staying here as we absolutely loved it the first time. Amanda thinks of everything - including a home baked cake on arrival. She also left us some fresh eggs and the house is well stocked with luxurious Neals Yard hand wash to use etc.
the house location is great - very close to the beach and shops. The garden is a good size and my dogs much appreciated all the dog-friendly touches - dog treats, dog blankets. We will be coming back! Nothing.
- Sian (10/5): Simply perfect! - Everything!
The house is beautiful, filled with home comforts. So much thought has gone in to make sure you have all you need and more. The Xmas decorations were fabulous and the cake was divine- what more could you ask for 😊 Nothing
- Julie (10/5): Brilliant - So well stocked, comfortable, very clean and peaceful Nothing. Just needs a bath mat for inside the bath
- christina (10/5): What a great find - This is such a well thought out property. Everything has been thought of. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely products. Great communication prior to arrival. Homemade cake to greet us! I wish I’d booked for longer

- chris (10/5): -
- Kim-marie (10/5): Wonderful home from home - This felt like a home, not just a rental.
Great location and all those little touches to make you feel welcome are wonderful.
Pet friendly and still fresh and clean. Could do with another bathroom but with management it wasn’t an issue. The pros far out weigh any cons.
- Gary (10/5): Home away from a long way home. - Feels so homely and a great base to explore Mersea and the surrounding area. Nothing - it’s great
- Lyndon (10/5): -

- Stephanie (10/5): A truly delightful stay filled with comfort, warmth, and unforgettable memories. - Just prior to arrival, we were sent the key to the lock box to obtain the key. This was a very easy, smooth process. When entering the property, it reflected owners who care about your stay. Great attention to detail. The house was immaculate and every room had thoughtful personal touches. We were welcomed with a home-baked cake, which was extremely tasty and needless to say, did not last long. We also had specific needs which were catered for again with great thought. Provisions for dogs were extensive. Overall, our stay was extremely enjoyable -this was our second time at Klara's House and we are now looking forward to our third! Nothing - everything was spectacular
- Amy (10/5): Excellent location and host. Beautiful well appointed property at a very reasonable price. - Excellent location, well appointed house with superb communication from the host.

- Liz (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - Very comfortable and very clean, everything was perfect.. lovely cake, too Nothing to dislike
- Sharon (10/5): Excellent property in great location - The property was clean, spacious, beautifully furnished and equipped with everything we needed.
We were three couples and appreciated the three spacious double bedrooms and ample living space, including a small sunny conservatory and secluded back garden with outdoor table and chairs.
The hosts could not have been more helpful before and during our stay, offering us early check-in and late checkout.
The location is very peaceful and perfect for walking to the seafront, restaurants and pubs. The outside appearance of this property might not be as appealing or attractive as some of the period cottages in West Mersea but the inside is hard to beat.
Highly recommend Nothing. Everything was great.
- James (10/5): Lovely presented property. - Plenty of space and well equipped. Nothing.
- Shane (10/5): Exceptional -
- Holly (8/5): Charming house on a charming little island - Lovely welcoming home; tradition but with modern touches for comfort.
A lovely welcome from the host with a home made cake waiting, and all the little essentials we might need from tea and coffee to soaps etc.
walking distance to the beach and the victory inn.

Just amazing Nothing couldn’t have been better
- Jim (10/5): Lovely homely house close to everything - House is a generously proportioned 3 bed detached on an estate 5 mins walk from the beach. A lot of care has been taken to ensure a homely feel. Provision of cake, milk, plenty of coffee pods for the machine, some basic food items enough for a meal if you arrive late (replace on trust). Tastefully done xmas decorations were up for our stay (27-30 Dec). We were able to host extended family during the day without feeling cramped. Simple instructions for entry, and enough information about the area provided. Would stay again as have relatives nearby. Wifi was adequate for our needs, but may have struggled to work from there (video calls etc) if that were needed.
- Gary (10/5): An awesome place to stay on wonderful Mersea Island - An amazing place to stay. Warm, homely and had everything we needed. The homemade cakes left by the owner were a nice touch. Would stay here again.
- Atkinson (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gary (10/5): Exceptional - Totally fell in love with this place!
- Adela (10/5): This is a 10 star location!! - I want to start by saying that we travel quite often, we have been to many places in the last three years,but this house is special and has won our hearts!! It is perfect for a 100% British experience! Maximum cleanliness, attention to detail and super kind and discreet hosts! We were even welcomed with a cake made by the host especially for us! We received fresh eggs from the free-range chickens! We received fruit from the hosts! There is also coffee, tea at your discretion!! In the cupboards there are provisions (canned food, pasta, beans, rice) that you can use and replace later! There is a beautiful courtyard where you can drink your coffee! The house is chic, recently renovated, we enjoyed the intimacy of this house! Thank you for this authentic experience that we were really looking for!

Lovely extra touches included a freshly baked cake, newly laid eggs, a coffee machine, a variety of teas and even a chocolate velvetizer. There’s a nice garden too and the house’s location is within easy walking distance of the restaurants in West Mersea. The host was on hand to offer help and advice and certainly made us feel very welcome in this lovely holiday home. Would return in a heartbeat. Nothing.

Instantly felt at home: by far the best cottage/house we have stayed in when visiting Mersea.
Excellent location - easy walk to coast road, walks and pubs, etc. Nothing
- Lisa (10/5): Perfect location on the island and is the home from home amanda and family are aiming to achieve! - The house was perfect for our family. It was immaculate, well presented, and all the added unexpected extras were a treat to arrive to. Nothing.
- Susan (10/5): Excellent - very comfy sofas and beds . - Very cosy and home from home.
Generously cooked scones and provided strawberries and cream to go with them. Recycling wasn’t mentioned and we only found the recycling bins down the side of the house just before we left!
- Mary (10/5): Perfect property, excellent value and the friendliness of the hosts made it even better. - It was just perfect - the house itself was lovely, and the warmth and friendliness of Amanda were really very special. Nothing could be better - it was terrific.
- Duncan (10/5): It was perfect, totally relaxing for us all. - Beautifully looked-after property. The decor was exceptional making for a relaxing and clutter free environment. The kitchen was fully equipped with high quality appliances. Lovely touches of milk in the fridge many different teas and coffee. Delicious home laid eggs and the yummy home made gluten free cake, very much appreciated. The location was in a quiet residential road, but only a 10 minute walk from the quayside and delicious fish restaurants. Each bedroom had extremely comfortable beds with quality bedding. The Neal's Yard toiletries were a luxury we all enjoyed. The bathroom and cloakroom were spotlessly clean, like all the rooms. 10/10 There was nothing in the property that we did not like, it was a perfect place to stay. We will return...
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Margaret (10/5): Wonderful spacious, family and pet friendly home from home. - Freshly laid hens eggs were provided by the hosts, and these were marked with the date they had been laid - they were full of flavour. Along with a bowl of fresh fruit and a delicious home-made raspberry and white chocolate cake this was a real welcome into a beautiful, high-end, family home. The hosts were fabulous at communicating and did everything to make our stay trouble-free. The only thing that would make the stay smoother is some bins for recycling/general waste/food waste - it wasn't a huge problem - we worked out that we needed to bag up our recycling in one bag and double knotted all waste and left it by the back gate ( and we received advise from the hosts regarding this).
- Carol (10/5): perfect - it was so tastefully done
- Pxb (10/5): Exceptional -

- Gem (10/5): Perfect getaway with friends for a peaceful & cozy stay x - Everything about Klara's house is absolutely faultless. A true home from home feel with exceptional standards, the hosts make you so welcome that you feel like family.
A spotlessly clean house, home baked cake & fresh eggs & fruit on arrival is such a nice touch. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could ever need and high quality toiletries in the bathroom too!
Furry friends are very welcome and everything is there for them too. X Nothing could have been better!
- Kim (10/5): perfect getaway to relax and unwind in comfortable surroundings a home from home. - comfortable, warm quiet, quality furnishings, sun room. nothing to not like!
- Flynne (9/5): Superb - Very clean and everything you could possibly need, like a home from home. Superb customer service. Nothing
- David (10/5): Fantastic weekend in a fantastic property! - The house is beautifully presented to an excellent standard. The furniture and furnishings are top notch, bathrooms are brand new as is the kitchen.
The kitchen is very well equipped with lots of extras....tea, coffee, milk etc and a lovely cake on our arrival.
I would highly recommend this property and location wise, it is perfect for the West Mersea coast as it is a 5 minute walk. Only very minor things really. The shower was difficult to get to the right temperature but fine once set.
- Anonymous (10/5): Great accommodation, would recommend to anyone. - Extremely clean and comfortable. Nothing
- Sarah (10/5): Last minute booking - almost glad we were let down by our original booking. - Was a last minute booking as was let down by another provider.
Customer service was friendly & personable. House was clean & tidy with lots of little extras that didn't need to be included but were. Even the addition of a games chest was welcome. Great that linen was included. Plenty of pillows which is always a sticking point. The fresh eggs, milk in the fridge & fresh fruit in the fruit bowl was a lovely touch especially after a 4.5hr journey. Not really a criticism but for me there were a little too many trinkets around the house as a short term rental.
Only other thing was the home made cake - it was such a shame it didn't get eaten as it was coffee & walnut. We had a member of the group with a nut allergy so the tin stayed shut once I realised (before this member of the party arrived at the house).
