“Perfectly perfect”
23 Jun 2025
Ten out of ten! What a wonderfully cute little cottage. My wife and I enjoyed every minute spent in The Nutshell. Set in a quiet corner of West Mersea just a short walk from the water with several lovely places to drink and eat, Seafood at Dawn, The Coast Inn, Waterfront Pizza, The Blackwater Pearl, The Victory and the famous Company Shed are all within a 5 minute stroll.

Amazing quirky little cottage. We loved the fact that it was almost 500 years old and has been loving cared for to create a lovely space to enjoy Mersea Island.

Amazing place. Our second time staying and we will definitely be staying again very soon. Perfect host and perfect little cottage. Highly recommend

“A beautiful situation close to the sea, quaint ancient cottage sadly didn’t live up to expectation.”

Beautiful little cottage, so close to the sea, a fantastic coast line. The bedroom was fantastic. The cottage was well equipped with everything and more for 4 people. ( we were only 2). The wood burner added a warmth and glow as evenings were cold, but we took are own wood. Everything was easy to find and use as listed.
