A charming, quirky cottage in a very quaint seaside village. Beautiful. Also the caretakers were so helpful.

A charming and attractive conversion, done with taste. Well equipped with an extensive library! Great location close to the waterfront, sailing clubs and The Company Shed. Couldn't fault it.

Absolute coastal perfection, we didn’t want to leave!We had an incredible weekend stay at Stoker Loft. The location is unbeatable with fabulous views out towards the water, boats, and beach right from the windows and balcony, making it a wonderful spot to relax with a morning coffee or an evening drink.It was extremely welcoming and comfortable for us and our Golden Retriever. The area offers fabulous coastal walks right on the doorstep, perfect for long strolls by the water.We made the most of the fantastic local produce during our stay, tucking into some incredible fresh seafood platter spreads within a 5 minute walk and pairing them with brilliant local wine from Mersea Island Vineyard.Stoker Loft is a charming, cozy, and spotlessly presented gem. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend getaway on the island and will definitely be recommending it to friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
