Coastal 2-Bedroom Cottage with Hot Tub, Log Burner & Estuary/Sea Views

Elmtree Cottage offers unforgettable views of the Blackwater Estuary and National Nature Reserve. Visitors to the island always pile down to West Mersea for the views, the food and the atmosphere, but you'll have your own private cottage (with parking!) right in the heart of the action for you to soak up and watch the world go by.

Once you’re awake, take time to enjoy the views from your triple aspect bedroom and very comfortable king size bed. Once you're ready for the day, stomp along the protected and historic beaches on your doorstep, or indulge in some of Mersea Island's world-famous Oysters and seafood.

At the end of the day, retreat back to your cottage and enjoy a hot tub whilst watching the sunset, perhaps followed by a comforting and romantic fire in the living room whilst streaming a movie on your HD TV.

Whatever you choose to do during your stay, Elmtree Cottage is certainly the perfect location to create your own wonderful memories you'll cherish for a lifetime.

Amazing
This place is magical, if you love the old world, bygone times as I would put it. The cottage is amazing. You have a view from every room, kitchen, lounge, master bedroom, even the bathroom (if youre sitting on the loo) Its amazing.Whoever built this place years ago, they knew what they were doing. Im missing the view so much now Im home, its amazing. The hosts are great. They really do everything they can to make you welcome. This is a fabulous place. So glad I booked it.

Just love this location
Amazing location. Right in middle of where you want to be but so peaceful too. Love dual aspect windows in main bedroom which overlook the sea. Rowland has added a great garden sofa/table area outside with optional sun screen, so we spent most of our time chilling in the garden, soaking up the view and enjoying the fresh catch of the day from over the road. If you want to unwind, this is the place to do it. Rowland is a great host and a pleasure to deal with directly. Love West Mersea and Elmtree Cottage is the best place to stay on the Island without doubt.
