Your break starts here! Relax in this new Hamptons-style loft apartment just a few minutes walk from the anchorage with its fish restaurants, cafes and pubs…it’s also the best place to see the amazing sunsets across the water! The loft apartment is self-contained having its own staircase from the ground floor with parking beneath. Open plan living, balcony, fully equipped kitchen, contemporary bathroom with massive walk-in shower, double bedroom and boot room with drying facilities and washing machine... All designed with you in mind!
I've been hosting properties for several years and enjoy making sure that my guests have a great experience staying in our accomodation on Mersea Island
Salt Lodge is tucked away down a private driveway and is within minutes walk of the anchorage, where you'll find some great fish and European style restaurants and pubs. There are some great walks on the Island and miles of beaches as well as watersports and cycling.
