2 Bedroom Cottage in West Mersea

'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.
