Lovely rustic pub / hotel. Room was great with the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in for some time. Kitchen was closed for refurbishment but only a short walk into the centre of the village. Good choice of cask ales in the bar. Will stop here again if work brings me back to the area

I stayed at the Woolpack for a long weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better or ore friendly place to stay! The rooms was immaculate and had everything you could want or need, the breakfast hamper is such a nice touch and already included in the price. The staff all made me feel so welcome, a good funny bunch that went above and beyond. The atmosphere was even better with the live band in the bar Saturday night, having a good dance to some real music. Would 100% stay again!

I had a really nice stay at The WoolPack Inn. I liked the way the room was decorated and it was lovely and clean. Daily housekeeping too which was great. Staff were really friendly and happy to help. Only small downside was that the room was pretty small - no wardrobe (just some hangers on some pegs)/vanity area. However, this didn't affect my stay. The tea tray/mini fridge was well stocked with everything you'd need! There is very little sound proofing so it can be noisy - however when I stayed the nights were pretty quiet.

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.

My son moved into the area of Coggeshall a year ago and my husband and I really liked the thought of staying in the old building and having a social evening. Booked easily, got a good price on the room. Happy days! However, got a text in the afternoon saying kitchens were closed but we could get a 10% discount on food at the local Ranfield Brasserie, 6 minute walk. Great! Barman said just tell them you are staying with us and you will receive discount. After the expensive meal we said we were staying at the Woolpack and were told they are not offering that anymore as they were now a different company. Paid bill, what choice did we have. On return to the Woolpack we told the Barman who had absolutely no idea. Breakfast in room was ok but fruit in fridge 2 oranges and 2 apples were ver old and not worth eating. 6/10 from us slightly disappointing.
