You’ll have plenty to enjoy at this historic place in a picturesque setting on Mersea island.
Converted from cattle barn to cookery school and now a lovely holiday home in a courtyard with parking and bike rack.
Situated on the east of the island down a quiet country lane close to the sea, vineyard and boating lake.
Peaceful with nice walks
We don’t live at the premises but live on the island so are available if there is a problem
