TRANSPORT

Accessing Osea Island:
Travelling by Car: Since Osea Island is accessible via a tidal causeway, we recommend contacting us for precise directions and guidance regarding the best times for your journey. When crossing, use the Osea Island leisure park's address (CM9 4SA) for your satellite navigation system.
Using the Train: Commence your journey at Liverpool Street Station and go to Witham Station, which is less than 50 minutes from the city. A pre-booked taxi service can transport you to Osea Island from there. Please contact us at enquiries@oseaisland.co.uk (during Monday to Friday office hours) for assistance.
Arriving by Helicopter: The closest airfield is Battersea, just a 20-minute flight from the island.
Opting for a Water Taxi: To ensure a smooth arrival, you can arrange for a water taxi in advance to transport you to Osea Island. There is a parking lot where you can leave your car.
✈ Nearest airports:

∗Osea Island is self-catering, and each cottage has fully-equipped kitchens to support this. We recommend purchasing as much of your required groceries as possible before you arrive. However, Ocado will cross the causeway and deliver to the island if you select a one-hour delivery window within the low tide.
∗Pets are welcome on this property, but please bring food and any essentials for your furry friend, as the island has no stores.
∗WiFi is available in most properties on the island and is powered by mobile 4G routers. Due to our remote location, the WiFi can occasionally prove temperamental. We ask guests to please refrain from using the WiFi for streaming purposes.

∗The heated outdoor swimming pool is open from April to October.
∗Outside barbecues are permitted, and guests may bring their own.
