It is a unique and enchanting little cottage with prodigious character, nestled on a quiet lane, just steps away from the boats, and mussel-catchers' sheds along the waters' edge. It is like stepping back in time, but with added WiFi, televisions, a gorgeous wood-burning stove, and a wet room.

There was nothing I didn't like. The ladder up to the bedroom demands you to mind your step, but this is clearly highlighted on the website and it is just one of the quirks of this lovely place.

The Nutshell is a beautiful little cottage. Equipped with everything that you could possibly need for your stay. Cerian is most attentive & couldn't be more helpful.

The only thing that gave me some concerns was the ladder up to the bedroom. I was staying with my mum who isn't as agile as she used to be. We did manage & became quite adept at going up & down.

Everything..... it was just perfect we will definitely stay again and Cerian was so helpful

Nothing.....but just some little tips maybe just warn others staying that the door out is low as my partner hit his head several times.Also we had a power cut it was ok as my partner knew how to rectify it ie finding the fuse box it but maybe just add to the info you send out.

Characterful and quirky property; good fish restaurants close by; pleasant strolls on the beach.

The whole place felt grubby and was far too stuffed with the owner's property and just too much stuff generally - as the cottage is tiny this made for a very claustrophobic feel, especially as plates/cups etc. were dirty. The garden needed sweeping and there were dead pigeons on the ground and lots of bird muck - we couldn't sit in it.

Quirky beautiful old fisherman cottage

Nothing

Location of this little cottage is perfect short walk to 2 very good pubs and beach plus The Company Shed is at the end of the road family run seafood restaurant excellent. The cottage is very well equipped the ladder to the bedroom could be tricky with anyone who has mobility issues. Nice patio garden.

Really quaint, very comfortable, very quiet at night, yet best possible location for coastal West Mersea. Well equipped and owner provided lots of useful info.

Steep stairs ok for us but wouldn't suit elderly or infirm guests
