Liked: Lovely park, so close to the beach, nice pitches and really safe for young kids. Well kept and lovely atmosphere, reception staff were lovely!
Disliked: Park could be a little better as not very good for 3 year olds that don’t climb well however still lovely. Not sure why the showers are in the caravan part but didn’t bother us much.

Liked: Friendly site (both staff and holiday makers). Really good location, close to the beach. Good club house, with a quirky circular rotating pool table. The wash facilities were a short walk away from the touring area, but showers were hot and powerful. Good price and last minute availability. Overall a very enjoyable stay.
Disliked: It was a shame that huge piles of sand had been left in the showers by users and the shower security door had been left open to all. Nice for those coming off of the beach to quickly hose off before retiring to their static caravans with fully equipped showers. Not so nice for those of us in touring caravans who were relying on the shower facilities to get clean. Soft beeping sound all night across the touring area, kept us awake for the first night. Either over tired or used to it by the second night though.

Liked: A wonderful experience at West Mersea Holiday Park. Touring site was close to the main clubhouse and walking distance to the beach. A wonderful play park for children and great choice of foods in the restaurant. Staff were welcoming and friendly.

Disliked: Was told on the Friday morning before a bank holiday weekend and school holidays that they didn't have any disabled toilet or shower facilities and therefore could not meet my needs so cancelled my holiday. Not impressed 😡

Liked: the location is good for the Beach, very clean and tidy, reception very organised and friendly made us feel very welcome.
Disliked: the parking of individuals either using or working at the resturant as they block the road for entry and exiting the first 2 rows nearest the beach huts. having to pay for Wifi.
