All round excellent experience. The tent is close in quality and comfort to a nice lodge, but the front canvas awning and spacious setting gives the feeling of space and peace that camping affords. …

We have just returned home from a weekend glamping at Mersea Barms in one of the glamping tents and couldn’t recommend it more. The setting is idyllic and peaceful but near enough to everything on Mersea Island to make it an easy trip. The glamping tents slept six comfortably, were spotless , well equipped and luxurious. There was lots of games and sports equipment to play in the vast outdoor area and some card and board games too. Plenty of soft towels and blankets and the beds were comfortable too. Communication was excellent before and during our stay and you have the added bonus of booking in for a delicious breakfast at next door Mersea Barns if you want to add that on, where again the staff and setting are lovely and food delicious. Great value for money and we will definitely refund next year.
