Really quaint, very comfortable, very quiet at night, yet best possible location for coastal West Mersea. Well equipped and owner provided lots of useful info.
Steep stairs ok for us but wouldn't suit elderly or infirm guests

we loved staying at The Nutshell. The cottage has all the amenities one could wish for, with loads of character and in an excellent location in the island. The kitchen is fully equipped and even has two excellent nespresso machines, a very welcome surprise. Cieran was very welcoming and informative. We could have not wished for more.

Fantastic location and such a lovely cottage. And great communication and kindness from the host Cerian. You could feel her love for the cottage.
The stairs were steep up to the (really lovely) bedroom and rather difficult to negotiate. So one would need to have awareness of this depending on mobilities etc. As long as this isn't a problem , then the cottage was perfect.

The owner of property was most helpful with an issue on the Internet (provider had a major issue).
Was a bit apprehensive about stairs, but I found them ok, had no issues getting up or down.
Luvly quaint home.
Don't think there was anything otherwise wouldn't have booked to return.

All good.

It is the quaintest and cosiest little bolt hole, with a really friendly welcoming feeling. It’s small but perfectly formed, with everything you need to be comfortable and snug. The location is perfect for walks and very quaint.
Obviously the ladder to the upper floor isn’t the easiest to navigate but with a little care it isn’t a problem at all. Older or more infirm people might struggle, is the only reason I mention it.

great location and a beautiful little house
stairs to the bedroom not for the faint hearted
