Top Mersea Island Museum Hotel Reviews

The Victory at Mersea

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely room with balcony overlooking the harbour. Everything about the room was perfect and it was excellent value for money. The bed was comfortable and it was exciting to wake up with such amazing views. Our first visit to Mersea. The draw was the possibility of fresh seafood and we found that at the Seafood at Dawn restaurant just over the road. The hotel was fairly quiet during our stay but we imagine it must be difficult to get a room there during the summer season. We enjoyed the walks along the Coast Road, excellent cafes and seafood outlets. Out of season Mersea is very quiet and relaxing! Plenty of fresh air. Highly recommended."
