Situated on the outskirts of the lovely village of Coggeshall next to the church this historic Inn was a wonderful, peaceful get away. The bedroom had been refurbished to a high standard whilst retaining it's historic charm. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Room absolutely stunning! Bed really comfortable, bathroom enormous and spotless. Loved the breakfast hamper really nice touch.
Only downside was the noisy pub downstairs, would be really difficult to sleep. We made the decision to go down and have a drink, the locals and staff were very welcoming so we made the most of it 😊.

Lovely old property and nice quaint village. Breakfast hamper was good.
Unfortunately the hot water didn't work in our room despite flagging it with the staff. No staff on site in the mornings to speak to either.
Also, they have loud music in the evenings until 11pm/midnight - which isn't specified in their listing, and they only tell you by email after youve checked in.
Its a shame really - nice property but let down by a few serious shortcomings.

Room was excellent. En-suite was fantastic. Very clean and good stay. It is a public house and music finishing at midnight all good for us on first night but music being slightly turned down and finishing between 3 and 4am not so considerate for guests.

Very nice place to stay, great in room selection of snacks, breakfast items, teas and coffees. Shame the restaurant wasn’t open on my visit but there is options in the town within a few minutes walk. Overall very very good.

We were only there for 2 nights but everywhere was really clean and fresh. We were made very welcome and all staff were very friendly and helpful.
The garden/outside seating area was also well kept. It is obviously a locals pub and everyone we spoke to was very friendly.

Terrific stay, lovely room with a fantastic view from patio.
Great breakfast baskets which included all sort of quality goodies.
Only negative was no food available in the evening midweek.
Overall fantastic place to stay.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and well presented room.
Breakfast is just items supplied in the room, but they have made the very best of the situation. A full breakfast would have earned a top score.
