Cosy beachside home with hammock and terrace

Welcome to ‘Rosalinda’ - moments from West Mersea beach. A stroll to cafés, pubs and shops in the quaint village of Mersea, this seaside retreat is a home away from home. We also have good WiFi and I often work from home. Please note that this is my home and has personal and eclectic design touches. If you like the idea of a cosy retreat with lots of foraged seashells and a hammock, then this is the perfect place for you. The caravan doesn’t have a tv so this is your chance to digital detox.
