Took the shine off my husband’s 60th, we had to meet up with family to celebrate and hadn’t been able to shower ☹️

Comfy bed, so slept well while we were there.

We stayed two nights, couldn’t shower the whole time, the shower was freezing, no hot water. I messaged the owner and she said it would be fixed, it wasn’t, so I contacted the owner twice more and got no reply, so we couldn’t shower for our whole stay, very annoying, as this was a birthday treat for my husband’s 60th.

Absolutely perfect and exactly what we needed.

Everything was clean and tidy and we immediately felt comfortable upon arrival. The owners weren’t available to check us in but that’s not an issue for us as they left clear instructions on how to get to our room. They also have a little friend that sits outside the building and loves all the pets it can get.

Nothing at all.

A comfortable and well thought out accommodation in a great location and excellent value.

Really very easy to book. Host provided lots of information regarding accommodation and surrounding location and was quick to respond to any queries. The room was very comfortable, the bed was amazing, so comfortable, and we both had the best nights sleep, and everything you needed for a comfortable night's stay was provided, towels, toiletries, tea/coffee, hairdryer, iron/ironing board to mention but a few.

Being an older property, noise travelled and you could hear other occupants which made us very mindful of any noise we made which was a little difficult for my partner who has problems with his hearing and is not always very quiet. Having the little fan heater was a bonus as, with the curtains drawn, you did not feel the benefit of the heating from the radiator below the window. The above I mention more as observations and should not be taken as spoiling our stay.

Nice room, nice stay, near the sea if you fancy a walk. One night business trip, ideal.

Parking outside the property or on-street if you don't get one of the four spaces. Nice room, comfortable bed, great shower. Check in is remote, details given through Booking.com, key pad on outside door and your key is in the room door waiting for you. Wifi has a good signal and is relatively fast. Would happily use again.

For me it was all fine.

Comfortable bed and nice touch with the bottle of wine

No contact with anyone , you let yourself in , and maybe a little expensive because of this

Perfect! Will definitely visit again.

Very easy check-in instructions. Room was immaculate and beautifully decorated. Great location, close to the main town and the beach. Parking available on drive or right outside on street. Perfect stay, would 100% recommend.

Really nice, clean relaxing room

Really nice room, very clean and relaxing space. Amenities were all thought off, we didn't want for anything. All information was clear on how to get in etc.

I would have liked a blind in the bathroom, I didn't want to open the window even with the privacy glass.

LOVELY ROOM & FACILITIES

The room was lovely but unfortunately I requested bed & breakfast with Booking.com. there was no breakfast plus it stated 5 mls from Brightlingsea and it was 20!!! Unless you crossed the water which is in high season only. This caused x2 expensive taxi trips. NOT impressed Booking.com!

The room it's self was lovely. The location bad on recommendation with Booking.com

A nice room in a very nice setting, worth the money.

The location was great, however I cannot remember ever being made aware that access to Mersey can be affected by the tide, whilst making the booking.

My only concern was the lack of any sort of covering for the window in the bathroom, which is right next to the toilet. We ended up trapping one of the towels in the window itself to give us aa bit of privacy.

Convenient, what we needed for a one night stay in the area with lots of space and comfort.

Everything was very good, comfortable, clean, good quality throughout. Had a little difficulty finding it as did not realise it was a house in the street and the name Blackwater Suite was nowhere. It would have been better to tell us the name of the house. No physical presence of anybody but that did not matter. We removed two air fresheners from the room as these were very strong smelling which we found unpleasant but the windows were able to be opened and fresh air soon cleared the smell. We slept well bathroom was clean and modern. The installation of the sink and taps could have been improved as they were rather wobbly.
