Happy Place, hotel in West Mersea

Situated only 37 km from Freeport Braintree in West Mersea, Happy Place offers accommodation fitted with a patio, garden and seasonal outdoor pool.

Everything! The caravan has everything you could possibly need for your stay. Fully equipped kitchen, powerful shower, fresh bedding and towels and comfortable beds. The caravan site was perfect for our family (inc 11 year old boy). A short drive away from beautiful beaches and lots to do for the family. The island isn’t a tourist trap which we liked a lot.

Brans Estate, hotel in West Mersea

Brans Estate is located in West Mersea, 5 minutes' walk from the beach and shops. There is a dining room and a kitchen on the ground floor, with a table for 6 people, along with a wood stove.

Property was fine. As stated, downstairs was a little bit small for the number of people it can sleep. Access to beach not really suitable for elderly people with walking issues. I should have done more research on that score. 5/6 people staying another toilet would be preferable but it was what it said it was. The milk and tea and coffee available was a nice touch. Again should have done more research on places to eat and their opening hours.

    Breakfast was not included, as property was self catering. However, the accommodation was very spacious and beautifully furnished and decorated, to a very high standard. The bed was extremely comfortable - making it difficult to get up in the morning! We had our own patio and garden, which was most appreciated. We liked the large walk in shower, especially as there were grab rails to steady ourselves. Overall we had a great holiday in a lovely holiday home.

    Mersea Villa itself was a beautiful place to stay, very comfortable, clean, and well equipped. The location was perfect, the beach in view from the decking and less than a minute's walk away. The area was incredibly quiet too,, presumably it may be a bit busier during school holidays, but it seems this would always be a peaceful place. We went for peace and the sea, so this was absolutely perfect.

    The room is freshly decorated and plenty of natural light, the bed is very comfortable end the bedsheets very soft. The location is great, close to the sea and not far from the village. In the garden there is a little table and two chairs to enjoy the sunshine. Soaps and shampoos smell delicious.
