A perfect little place to prepare.

We stayed here the night before my daughter's wedding and it was perfect. My daughter had the deluxe room and they brought her a complementary bottle of prosecco which was a lovely touch. The breakfast hamper was excellent as was the coffee.

We were super impressed with our amazing room at the Woolpack Inn. Our room had so much character, was tastefully furnished, spotless and the bed was oh so comfortable. We liked the history behind the names of each room. We had a friendly welcome and enjoyed a relaxing evening in the bar. We can’t wait to have a return visit.

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.

Wonderful historic Inn with very comfortable room

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.

Great value, gorgeous room.

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 😊.

BOOK WITH CAUTION! The property is nice, and the staff on site were welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately, the pub does Karaoke (and didn't warn us in advance), and it was so noisy we couldn't even hold a conversation in our room, never mind sleep. The staff tried to be helpful on site but nothing could be done, so we didn't end up staying and went home instead. When we tried to raise the issue with the owner, they were very difficult to get hold of and refused to give the refund we were entitled to. Expedia eventually resolved the issue and gave the refund.

Great room

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.

When I first arrived I was excited for my stay as the building is stunning and the room was perfect. However, within an hour of arriving the noise from the pub became unbearable. I was hopeful that this would only last a short period but this wasn’t the case. The noise only increased once Karaoke started which I wasn’t pre-warned about at all. On the website it says karaoke isn’t on a Tuesday which is when I stayed and it also mentioned that the noise would only go on until 12:00. Unfortunately the noise continued until after 1am. I had an early start the next day for work so I was very disappointed with paying over £100 to not be able to sleep.

It was listed as having a restaurant, but hasn’t. It said breakfast included, but it was a yogurt and fruit in a fridge. When a British pub says breakfast you expect a full English not a continental.
