- Guest (9/5): -
- Graham (9/5): - Location. The site was very well maintained. Accommodation generally very clean and well equipped. Maybe a coffee table in the lounge would be good?
- Alison (10/5): Great accommodation thank you - Perfect, clean and well equipped
Highly recommended Nothing
- Cherie (10/5): Fabulous value - Size Nothing
- Stephanie (9/5): -
- Jackalyn (7/5): -
- Verity (9/5): -
- Sarah (10/5): - Great place!
- james (9/5): -
- Lewis (9/5): -
- Atkinson (10/5): - Location
- Dean (8/5): Great value for money and had all we needed for a short break. -
- Hanli (7/5): Nice caravan, but wifi and beds let it down - The place was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked with plates, pots, pans, cups etc. The extra toilet connected to main bedroom was a bonus. Bathroom very spacious. Great shower! We had issues with the wifi. At arrival it wasn't working but I texted the owner who quickly rectified. After one day it stopped working and we were told that we used all the data. The owner then advised that they loaded another 20GB for £20. Not sure why I needed to know that information, I just needed it to work. Then after 2 days, viola, it stopped again. I had to message again. I travelled with my 3 teenage children all with their own devices, so I would expect free unlimited WiFi as standard. They loaded another 20GB which lasted.
My 15 year old was quite uncomfortable in the single bed. We tried using the pull out couch for my 13 year old, but the mattress is so thin, that it was impossible to sleep on it. We eventually left a day early as they found the sleeping arrangements too uncomfortable. I would suggest that a family with much younger children would enjoy this accommodation more.
- samantha (10/5): Lovely - Bedroom was lovely and left things like washing up liquid hand soap x No faults
- Vivienne (10/5): Will definitely book this accommodation again if available for our next visit to West Mersea - The accommodation was perfect. Very clean with everything you could need for a holiday.
WiFi good and all information available Nothing to dislike
- Amanda (9/5): filled a need - convenient location, able to park outside caravan. normal caravan site
- Sarah (10/5): -
- Andrew (9/5): Superb -
- Susan (10/5): A beautiful caravan. - This caravan was amazing! We loved it! It was clean and comfortable, just as shown in the photos. Everything looked brand new actually. The double bedroom had an en-suite. There was another bedroom with twin beds. There was a separate bathroom with shower. The kitchen was kitted out with absolutely everything you could need for cooking in the caravan. There was also a microwave (I think a previous review said there wasn’t one). The fridge had a small freeze box as well. There were four of us, two adults and two children and there was plenty of room for us all. We were looking for a quiet place for a break for a few days and this was perfect. In terms of the camp site itself, there is a tiny camp shop, a fish and chips shop and then a large restaurant. The restaurant had a little amusement arcade. We ate in there and food was lovely. It also did take away which was very handy. The beach was very close by. If you want to leave the campsite then you can drive to some little grocery shops and there was also a park. We would definitely recommend this caravan and the campsite. We have a child with autism and this place was not at all overwhelming for him. Communication with the caravan owners was great as well. Nothing really, it was lovely. Some extra pillows would have been handy.
- Stephen (9/5): Superb -
- Teresa (10/5): An excellent all round experience - The mobile home was clean and comfortable. A lovely location.
- Joshua (10/5): Relaxing - Cosy. Well stocked with pots, pans, towels etc.. great location on the Island. Nothing
- Alan (5/5): Ideal for summer. Not so good for a winter stay. - Location. We had a few problems but they were sorted.
- Elaine (9/5): Perfect for a getaway - All brand new in Nov 24. Sparkling clean, quiet, safe. A lovely retreat.
- Joseph (10/5): Exceptional -
- Deb (9/5): Cosy and clean in a good location. - The property was clean, well equipped and in a good location. It didn’t have a number on it so was a little awkward to find
- Jill (10/5): Lovely few days - The carvan was clean and well stocked with pots pans etc.
The bedding was spotless and lots of clean towells supplied.
We did have a problem with the wifi but Kirsty helped us sort that out.
Close to the beach with a local shop within walking distance.
I would stay here again. Just problems with the wifi droppng out every now and again.
- Kellie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marilyn (10/5): The accommodation was spacious &The beach gorgeous. - Excellent! Everything you could need was available in the caravan. It was very clean. All working well. The only thing I personally had a problem with was the
Internet assessable Guest /visitors book. I did have it available for a short time but when I went back to read properly unfortunately I couldn’t find it. Maybe just me 🫢. I did remember the essential number for key locker though. Everything was great.
Although, the site shop needed a lot to be desired. What they did have was expensive and not much choice. So please take things with you. All else good.
- Jimmy (10/5): Smart, clean, tidy, comfortable caravan - A superb retreat. Clean and tidy, lots of kitchen equipment, comfortable bed, efficient plumbing. All great! A reading lamp in the main bedroom would be handy.
- Gwyn (10/5): All in a good weekend stay - Everything was as new very clean even fresh bread and milk left for us GREAT The Weather!!!
- Lucy (9/5): Great stay, very comfortable - Very clean, comfortable beds, easy to find, good location Communication could have been a bit better but we found the caravan easy with the instructions given
- Nicola (10/5): Exceptional -
- Richard (7/5): Comfortable/ clean caravan . We had a pleasant short stay. - The caravan park is in very good location and is our second stay. The Wi-Fi needs some improvement. Eg: had to leave the caravan to make a call .
- Sherry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alex (9/5): Perfect as short break base in one of my favourite places. - I love Mersea, I love the location of the caravan. Its brilliant, lovely and clean :-) It looks very new.
I loved the shower and hot water on demand.
It was brilliant as a base for a few days for me. "Didnt like" is not the right phrase because I liked everything. It was good, but I feel perhaps it could have a basic microwave, doesn't have to be a fancy one, but something basic would have been good for me.
Also I couldn't find a dust pan and brush, yes there was a vacuum, but I think a basic dust pan would be useful.
Overall it was really good. Thank you, you are very lucky to own something like this. Thank you.
- Tom (9/5): Exactly what we were after! Really comfortable place in a great location. - The cleanliness and comfort were superb - exactly what we were after. Really good location too! Can’t complain about anything!
- Payne (7/5): It was good. Owners were very accommodating. - Clean and tidy
Comfy bed
Kitchen well equipped except for no microwave.
The peace and quiet. There could have been a microwave which we think is essential.
There were no deck chairs to be able to sit outside.
No iron which would have been good.
Caravan was further away from the beach than was shown in the pictures.
Luckily we enjoy a leisurely stroll.
- Lesley (9/5): A good place to unwind to blow away the cobwebs - the accommodation and facilities provided were excellent very clean and welcoming
The location was great near the beach with a restaurant and bar on site there wasn't anything not to like except could do with a door mat to stop grass being walked in and a microwave peovided
would be handy
- Cara (9/5): Lovely stay here. Hosts accommodation has everything and they were very helpful. -
- Rachel (9/5): Lovely home from home. Clean and comfortable. Great location, very close to the beach. - It was very clean and comfortable. A great source of information was provided about the local area too which was helpful. Washing liquid but nothing else available to use to wash up with ie sponge or cloth. BBQ available for use but no utensils or tongs to cook with.
- Alzalek (7/5): Very nice caravan, very clean. Nice and helpful staff - Disappointed no microwave
Wifi was turned off at 12 am and check out was 10 am on the same day, so left all night with no wifi.
