The property itself was a great base with more than enough sleeping space for the 6 of us. The only downside that we noticed was the lack of a comfy sitting area after a long day of crabbing down on the jetty. The property did not advertise that it had a living room and did only mention a dining area, an over sight on our part, perhaps reducing the size of the table to a drop leaf table and moving the sofas from an upstairs bedroom to downstairs would remedy this? Just a suggestion to put the cherry on the cake. Thank you for allowing us to holiday in your home for a week. Mersea we will be seeing you again soon. ##### Charlotte O.
