Welcome to Monkey Beach Cottage...
We have been offering self-catering accommodation on Mersea Island since 2010 and we are proud to have been featured in several magazines
and newspapers.
Formerly fisherman's cottages, this 300-year-old Grade II listed building is now chic and characterful self-catering accommodation for up to 7 people.
Located moments from the beach and only a five-minute walk to the village, the cottage has bags of character and bucketloads of charm.
With stunning views of the sea, salt marshes, beach and boats, and a short stroll to the island's famous seafood restaurants, this cottage is the number one place to stay on Mersea.
WHAT TO EXPECT...
Everyone is Welcome at Monkey Beach Cottage
Monkey Beach Cottage sleeps up to seven people in two double bedrooms, one single bedroom
and a sofa bed in one of two sitting rooms. A baby cot and high chair are available for our very young guests. Pets are warmly welcomed by prior arrangement.
A Holiday Home Like No Other
Monkey Beach Cottage is one of the oldest and most beautiful houses on Mersea Island. Our aim
has been to create a coastal hideaway that is characterful, cosy and comfortable, with a mixture
of vintage and contemporary furniture, and artwork on the walls by local artists.
Large Garden and Summer House
The cottage has a large enclosed back garden and a charming smaller front garden.
A stunning summer house provides the perfect place to snooze in the sun or snuggle
up with a book in the colder months, whilst a large outside table offers
excellent al-fresco dining opportunities.
