Hotel Pantai di Mersea Island

"Expedia did not relay my original request for a twin-bedded room (we were two elderly ladies) and we were allocated VERY SMALL double bed which was totally unacceptable. Fortunately the hotel were eventually able to arrange a twin-bedded room by splitting a king size bed into two sections and the situation was resolved. BUT it could have spoiled our holiday had a solution not been found (the hotel was fully booked)."

"Perfect central location. Good value for money."

"This quirky stay was right up our street, accommodation was clean and tidy, breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice, the views were beautiful and a relaxing and calm environment. the staff were so accommodating and pleasant with great sense of humour and genuine people. We will definitely book here again on our travels. I can't fault our stay in any way."

"Jo and her staff couldn’t be more helpful. Breakfast was lovely starting with a fresh fruit platter. Beautifully turned out and very comfy beds "

"I loved this B&B. Very welcoming right from the start. Outside beautiful with lovely flower baskets and tables and chairs to sit at. Everyone we met was happy and welcoming and the breakfast was amazing. Good size room and lovely shower. Some of the fittings were a bit worn but this you expect in an old building. Would definitely use again."

"Lovely, interesting old building in a very good location. Given the age of the hotel there are the inevitable uneven floors and slightly steep stairs. The free parking at the rear of the hotel is a real bonus. Our room was comfortable, well equipped and pleasantly decorated. The breakfasts were consistently good but sadly the hotel does not provide evening meals. All the staff were cheerful and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again."

"No parking when I got there and not a big car park anyway, room was dirty with hair left in the shower, bed was lumpy and creaked everytime I l moved. Also wasn't made aware that there was a function on until I checked in which was noisy up until midnight."

"The room was clean and the staff were great. If I had to downgrade it at all I have to say I’d expect all sockets to have USB ports as standard."
