The White Hart Inn - Inn in Essex
1 High Street, West Mersea, CO5 8QD, Essex
England,
Regno Unito
At the heart of the village, this inn packs a punch with its modern British menu. Produce is sourced from the island or nearby: fish from East Mersea and Wivenhoe; oysters arrive daily on boats at the bottom of the hill. Breakfast is a relaxed affair: a high-end fry up to set you up for the day or smoked salmon, porridge, fruit and homemade bread.
Upstairs, six smart, colourful bedrooms have huge cloud-comfy beds and drenching walk-in showers, views look over the church green or towards the sea. It's just a few minutes stroll to the closest beach with its cheerful beach huts - hire one and make a day of it. If you forget to pack a picnic walk to one of two oyster shacks serving up bucketloads of the island's much-celebrated mollusc.
The island is a haven for wildlife, spot red squirrels and all sorts of water birds. Visit Cudmore Grove Park for walking trails, a playground, a Roman fort and views over the estuary to Brightlingsea.
