Basic but adequate.
Downstairs lino needs replacing particularly in the kitchen by fridge - looks dirty.As stated the stairs are very steep - hand rails on both sides but not lined up equally - could be adjusted. Patio slabs uneven. Pond is so overgrown with plants that it is not obviously seen so it could be a danger to small children. Found I had to wash some saucepans as not clean & big sticky mark on base of saucepan cupboard I cleaned. Good location for walk down (couple of mins) to boats,pontoon,restaurants etc. Rubbish collection is an issue. It says in info book it is collected on Weds, to double bag it & put bag out -not the wheelie bin. This we did late Tues night as we were not sure what time the bin men came & woke to rubbish all out the front where foxes had got into it. Cleaned it all up & re-bagged to put in wheelie bin. On driving off Thurs morning saw neighbours up the road had put bags out. Needs clarifying what day it's collected & also if there's time to put it out in the morning rather than the night before.

We did have a lovely stay at Ivy Cottage as the location is idyllic.
The house was very close to the sea and we enjoyed some lovely beach walks. The food at The Coast Inn was delicious and a 3 minute walk away, so absolutely perfect for dinner and they do a nice cooked breakfast. The house was clean and the linen and towels very nice. I appreciate it is a character property, however, the place does need some tlc. The "ensuite" was a toilet & sink in a cupboard and didn't have any shower. So all 6 of us had to share the main bathroom downstairs. Wasn't ideal but we managed! The garden is beautiful and private, but unkept. This place has potential and some improvements could be made. West Mersea has plenty to offer and is a great location for a little holiday.

We had a great stay at The Granary.
We are originally from the area, so were staying to visit family and friends locally. The accommodation was wonderful, with everything we required for a comfortable stay. The grounds were stunning, and there were plenty of options for walking our little dog right from the doorstep. Alice, the owner, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The games room was a great feature, and we enjoyed playing pool and table tennis during our stay. We were a little early for the pool to be open - but hopefully next time! We will definitely be back when we are next visiting Suffolk. All in all a fabulous location, great cottage and host, excellent facilities and would highly recommend.

This cottage is spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and secluded garden in an amazing location for easily accessing pubs/restaurants and the water's edge.
Communication with owners was excellent, Sadly though our overall enjoyment was let down by the following:- Overgrown and neglected garden with dirty outside windows with lots of cobwebs. mattresses on beds are poor, spongy, topper mattresses on some which makes for very uncomfortable sleep. Dated ramshackle furniture in bedrooms Sofas not cleaned properly, clumps of hair floating around on cushions and filthy underneath sofa cushions. No instructions for turning on heating Only one wardrobe between 3 bedrooms! tired stained sofas With a little TLC this house could be nice and homely. Sadly though in it's current state we won't be revisiting this property.

Clean, well provided, cottage.
Conveniently situated within walking distance of harbour, sea food restaurants, High street shops and beaches. We spent most of our time at Ivy cottage walking along the beach watching the many shore birds in the early spring sunshine. Note: take care on the steep stairs to the first floor; however, there are two handrails for those of us of a certain age. The 'en-suite' in the double bedroom is about the size of a fitted wardrobe but perfectly serviceable if you are not too large. Would certainly recommend the cottage to others.
