Please note: Sorry, no hen or stag parties, couples, family bookings and holiday makers only.. Welcome to Sunnyside, a fabulous Victorian cottage set in an enviable location and only ¼ mile on foot to the beach. Sunnyside offers plenty of room for five people and space to relax. On the ground floor you will find a large entrance hallway which itself leads into the downstairs shower room. To the left you will move into an open plan living/dining room and then into a large, very light kitchen/diner, here you can open the bifold doors and enjoy the views of the garden. Upstairs you will find all three bedrooms, these consisting of two doubles and a single as well as the family bathroom. The house benefits from plenty of natural light.
Mersea Island benefits from some fantastic shops, tea rooms and pubs as well as being famous for it’s seafood and brightly coloured beach huts. Mersea Island is great for anyone who wants a break beside the sea but there is lots to keep you busy too; walking, cycling and sailing to name a few. Sunnyside is an ideal location from which to explore Mersea Island. The quaint high street is a short stroll away and you’re within easy walking distance of some family friendly pubs and restaurants as well as local shops. Cudmore Grove Country Park situated a short distance away at East Mersea and is terrific for those who prefer green open spaces and quieter spots, why not take a picnic? Should you decide to travel, only 20 minutes away and you can find yourself in the historic market town of Colchester or Maldon, both worth a visit.
