Stoker Loft is in West Mersea. It's about twenty yards from the water. You cross the Strood causeway to get onto the island.
It's a loft conversion, so you go up some stairs to get in. All on one floor after that. It sleeps two. One bedroom, one bathroom. It's got a 4 Star rating. It's a clean, modern sort of place.
The main living area is upstairs. Big windows. You get a good view out over the water from there.
There's a shop about 75 yards away and a couple of pubs within five minutes' walk. Two fish restaurants are very close by.
If you sail, the public hard for launching dinghies is just along from the cottage. The beach is sand and shingle.
There's a country club nearby with golf, about a ten minute drive. For a longer day out, Colchester is nine miles. You've got the castle and the zoo there. Dedham Vale and the Stour Valley are about half an hour's drive.
The facilities are what you'd need. Wifi, TV, washing machine. Parking is right there. Bedding and towels are included. You can bring one dog.
