Mersea Island Holiday Park
St Nicholas Hotel
"We have stayed here a few times and this experience wasn’t our favourite. We had booked for breakfast and were forgotten about by the breakfast staff. My partner had to flag down a member of staff and ask if we could order. When the food did arrive, mine was burnt, it certainly wasn’t worth the £19. ..."

B&B HOTEL Ipswich
"Close to the train station which is why I chose it. About a 1 km walk to waterfront restaurants and bars. There is really not much nearby. Buffet breakfast pretty good. Bizarre system where you get a 7 digit access code for your room. Tip: photograph it on your phone."

"We had a very cosy and comfortable first ever stay in a caravan. It was freezing outside but the central heating was very effective, the kitchen was well equipped and the communication with the owners was very good."
