The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast provided a good level of choice and was tasty. The only downside for us was that there was a high level of noise from a band (I assume) playing in the bar downstairs which we found irritating when trying to settle down to sleep. Otherwise we were very happy with the hotel.

The victory at Mersea is a nice holiday hotel in a really nice location. We walked to sandbank holiday resort along the beach and walked back through the little town. We will definitely be back again as we still have a lot we want to see. A friendly island, with plenty to do. We stayed in room 8 which was noisey during the day as a childrens play park right next door, but we were out most of the day, but would be too noisy for elderly people. Had 2 breakfasts included in the price which were big and delicious. Highly recommend, just make sure the tide is out or have to wait before crossing the bridge.

We found the Victory Inn at Mersea to be very comfortable and the service was brilliant. Staff were especially helpful and the position was great for my 6 year old grandson as he spent lots of time in the play area and we could keep our eye on him. We will definitely be booking again for sometime in the summer for a longer stay.

We have stayed at The Victory three times now, it is very convenient if you want to go out for food around West Mersea and don't want to worry about driving. Plus it is close to the seafront walk of West Mersea Beach. Rooms are very clean, plus you have the advantage that they are part of a pub, therefore the ability to step down for a drink or food at any point.

A small victory

Loved the position, had a balcony overlooking the estuary. Staff very friendly. Needs extra attention to cleanliness. Shower drain not cleaned, water collected in the tray couldn't run out quick enough. Tea tray not clean and cobwebs above the bed.
