This 18-room historic hotel features a reception area, bar, restaurant, Internet access and a car park and is non-smoking throughout.||All of the hotel's bedrooms have the usual modern facilities, providing guests with the comfort and charm they would expect from an old English inn, and yet they still manage to retain the flavour of the original building. In addition to an en suite bathroom with a shower/bathtub, each room features a telephone, television, Internet access, tea and coffee making facilities and an iron and ironing board. Furthermore, a daily housekeeping service is also provided.||Every care is taken to source local, seasonal produce, and Coggeshall is well placed in the heart of rural Essex. Colchester oysters, Coggeshall asparagus and Essex pork are available to be enjoyed, to name but a few. The hotel chef uses these wonderful English ingredients to produce delicious fresh flavours. The restaurant has recently received such accolades as an AA Rosette and is Michelin recommended.||By car: take the A12 and follow signs to Kelvedon. Follow the B1024 to Coggeshall.
