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

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was very small (size of room is not included on details). There was nowhere for our bag other than the floor, space was limited. 2 bedside tables & coat hooks with coat hangers on. There was a broken bedside lamp, the toilet seat was loose & wonky, the bedknob kept falling off at the slightest touch, the Wi-Fi wasn't working on Sun morning. Other guests were in the bar til 1.30am, the noise travels quite considerably & when they went to bed at 1.30am, one of the men shouted, "Is anyone awake"- well we were! We were disappointed with the room for the price we paid, you expect better for over £170 a night (only £80 for the same room on the following Fri). We booked it as it had 10/10 good reviews, those people must've been in the huge bedrooms and not ours.
We were in the 3.09x3.15 room

The Woolpack

From the moment we walked in we felt very welcome by not only the staff but by the locals and were made to feel at home Our room “Dedham”was amazing,very clean and modern but still in keeping with the period of the pub. They had thought of all the facilities that we may need along with a varied selection of food and drink for breakfast . The bathroom was very impressive with an extra large bath and shower along with a great view of the church. We could not recommend this hotel more and shall be returning

Lovely friendly staff, working in a wonderful grade 2 listed building. Bedrooms are all beautifully decorated with extremely comfy beds and very cosy. All come with very handy fridges with fruit, fruit juice and milk also a very well stocked hamper greets you with muffins, biscuits, oats and cutlery. This is our fifth or sixth stay, which normally ends up with us booking another night or two!!! The young lady housekeeper is always so happy to help and makes sure we’re stocked up when we do end up booking another night. We’re big fans!

Very noisy

We arrived at the hotel. Was shown to our room. The lights weren’t working, was told we would have to wait 10 minutes as the room hadn't been occupied for a couple of days and due to the building being old the lights were temperamental. We had to ask again at the bar about the lights as they still weren’t working. Someone came up and sorted them but there were only 2 lamps working which made the room very dark. We were above the very noisy bar area. When showed to our room we were told the bar closes at 1. We went back down to the bar to say we were leaving and asked about a refund as the room was dark and wanted a quiet night away for our anniversary. No chance of that with the base from the music and roudy drinkers in the bar. I was told to email about a refund which I did as soon as we returned home. I've not even had a response from them. I emailed again before writing this review.

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.
