Everything. The house was like walking into a quality show home. We didn't need to bring any toiletries, towels, or bedding. The kitchen was fabulously stocked with tea, coffee, and even a Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate maker ...... and a gorgeous home baked cake greated us on arrival. Also very flexible on check in and departure times.. Just so lovely. We will book again.

This is a lovely property just a 3 minute walk from the seafront. John took extra care to make sure we had all the local information and that we got into the property without any issues. West Mersea itself is lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Coast Inn, 5 minutes away provided excellent local catch of the day and there are several providers of seafood in the immediate area. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay.

    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.

    Great facilities, very clean and tidy, very helpful host and ideally located, A little over a 10 minute walk gets you to the Company Shed and West Mersea Oyster Bar, a 5 minute walk gets you to some lovely beach walks and views and the centre of the village is only 5 minute walk away too, can definitely recommend The Retreat
