Excellent Place with or without a Dog

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. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A great location for a holiday by the sea, which is what we wanted. The kitchen had loads of equipment, plates and cups but very little cutlery. The whole cottage could do with a good clean. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A small quirky upside down cottage perfect for a couple to get away from it all and enjoy a relaxing break. Lots of character and everything you need is provided. Park the car and forget it, just 15 minutes walk into town with pubs and restaurants on the way.

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.

Perfect accommodation and location for exploring Mersea Island.

Perfect accommodation and location for exploring Mersea Island. Loved the quirkiness of Stokers Loft and the view of the boat yard. Everything you could need for a week away within the cottage and the bonus of great walks, amazing sunsets and exceptional seafood on the doorstep. We will definitely return!
