Not what was advertised at all.

The carvan was Nothing like described. I was very basic and needs a lot of TLC. The carpet was stained and dirty the pillows on the sofa dirty and fraying. The photos online and the actual accommodation are worlds apart. My partner is a dont complaint guy so we didnt. It was somewhere to rest thats it. But woukd never stay again. The park is very quite and on a lovely location near the beach. What a shame the van let down the park as a whole.

Mersea a gem

The accommodation was spotless. Very comfortable bed, nice crisp bed linen. Loved the welcome pack. All staff went out of their way to be helpful. Loved the pool. Basic tasty food at the Muddy duck. So quiet and peaceful. A haven of nature, full of birdsong. Would definitely stay again. Very good value for money

All good except few minor things

The TriBeCa accommodation is beautiful and hot tub area very private. Kitchen has all necessities inc dishwasher but imo should have a coffee machine or something to make filter coffee's. Roll top bath and in master bedroom a nice touch but the tv was not working on my visit I have rebooked to go in march so hopefully it will be fixed by then. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Area is quiet and peaceful.
