Quirky property that had all you need for your stay. Right on top of the waterfront bars and restaurants, lovely walks and plenty of sailing going on. Weather was unbelievable, lucky us! West Mersea is a great place to visit, very friendly and welcoming people.

You don't need to leave mersea Island as everything you need is close by and within walking distance. You can even walk around the whole Island if you want (16 miles).
Essex Wildlife Trust Fingringhoe and Tollesbury Wick not very far away have some excellent walks also.

Fantastic gem for couples seeking a short break by the Essex estuary which pulls of a successful mix of traditional boating activity and significant gentrification. Highly recommended.

Mersea Island and Stokers Loft (masterminded by Sue and Ian Sharpe) are such a great combination that we are reluctant to share them with other visitors to the island! The Coopers August 2019

Stoker Loft is the perfect getaway cottage by the sea.
Stoker Loft is the perfect getaway cottage by the sea. We loved opening the loft doors and chatting to occasional passers by. Everyone in West Mersea is very friendly. Our dog had a great time too, plenty of opportunities to walk and play on the beach. Relaxed places to eat along the seafront, the local seafood is excellent and the sunsets are incredible. Would definitely recommend.
