The property was very clean, comfortable and warm. It had everything we needed, and was of good quality. The property owner was excellent. Communication was good, and was available if needed. We couldn't have asked for more. If we decide to stay in the area again we wouldn't hesitate to stay in this property again.

Sunshine Cottage West Mersea Island.
Property is situated in a nice, quiet neighbourhood.
The cottage itself is well equipped with everything that you could possibly need, with a few added luxuries. Definitely a home away from home. It is spacious, comfortable and very clean.
It is not far from restaurants and amenities.
We did not meet the hosts, but the messages from them were welcoming and friendly.

Fabulous property in a great location
We loved Sunshine Corner and would absolutely stay again. It's beautifully proportioned, and the conservatory is a blissful place to spend time even if the British weather isn't kind! The bedrooms are really comfortable, and the decoration throughout is so tasteful.
Mersea is a lovely place to spend time, and you can easily walk to the beach, shops, pubs and restaurants from Sunshine Corner. We hired a beach hut during our visit too, and that was brilliant fun.
Thanks so much for having us, and we hope to come again. Thank you too for the lovely treats you left us on arrival. Great promotion for the local brewery in particular!!

Absolut empfehlenswert!
Sehr schönes, sauberes und ruhiges Haus. Das Meer in 5 Minuten zu erreichen, Lebensmittelgeschäfte ebenfalls. Mersea ist eine Reise wert. Die Vermieter haben wir nur per e-Mail kennengelernt. Bei unserer Ankunft lagen Tee, Kaffee, Milch, Kekse etc. als Gastgeschenk für uns bereit. Ich kann dieses Objekt guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen.

A peaceful, well equipped property.
This property was well equipped, in a peaceful location and had easy access to the coast, restaurants and shops. The owner ensured that we had prior knowledge of items of food, drink and cleaning materials etc. that she had provided which was over and above our expectations for a self catering property.

Happy Customers
We loved this place. Good host and hostess - helpful and friendly. Cottage was sheer luxury. Private garden - quiet and peaceful. We came away relaxed and refreshed and intend visiting again if we possibly can.

Comfortable and well-appointed
A distinguishing feature of this property is its conservatory which is light and warm if winter sun has been shining, and there is decking outside for summer, in a small garden. Birds come to the feeder and are a pleasure to watch. The interior has been furnished very comfortably, with a thoughtfully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a heated towel rail which makes all the difference in winter. The bed is well-upholstered. The overall impression is of care and imaginative welcome.
The situation on unique Mersea Island is ideal for visiting fabulous nature reserves, particularly nearby Fingringhoe Wick . The island is doubtless very crowded in summer, but I was there in March .
