A great one night stay.

We have stayed her before and we will stay again. A lovely location by the sea. Very efficient and friendly staff. A few issues with room (no.5), water not draining from bath, mirror light not working. I know maintenance will be sorting these out soon, probably already sorted! Wonderful cooked breakfast in the morning.

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.

Great value for money

We had room 9 which had an upstairs with twin beds as well as the double room down stairs. Plenty of space for just my friend and I. Beds very comfy, and we loved having our own outside space at the back. We couldn't put our finger on what the slight odour was in the room, but it didn't spoil our stay, so we didn't report it. The breakfast was absolutely gorgeous! as was our meal the night before. This place is very good value for money, and I would stay here again.

It was a good stay eventually after the upset of being told they were serving food and the kitchen never opened. Could do with some staff training, and customer service.

A Victory for The Victory

I only stayed one night but I cannot fault the experience. The staff members were very friendly and helpful and the room was warm, clean and comfortable. I slept really well! Breakfast was plentiful and the full English looked amazing but more than I could cope with. I settled for Eggs Benedict and coffee, which was plenty to keep me going for the morning. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

A stay away

We were made welcome on arrival and helped to our room with our bags. We enjoyed the balcony with a view and the comfort of our room, although the space was limited. There was a tiny space for clothes hanging and nowhere to store cases or bags. The bathroom was lovely and was very clean. We had a good breakfast and an evening meal which was disappointing, the menu was short of fresh options and lacked imagination. The attention to detail was poor regarding the food & service and really needs to improve. The staff were engaging and friendly, happy to help. The location is good and there are other local places to eat nearby.
