An ancient pub with fantastic bedrooms. Easy parking, excellent range of beers in the bar, great staff, clean and well looked after room. No restaurant at the pub but a fantastic breakfast basket in the room. Really nice place. Thoroughly recommended

Historic pub in Coggeshall.
Very characterful property which was very picturesque. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a continental hamper in the room and included a fresh coffee pod machine.
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.
Check in lady's were lovely, locals were lovely and welcoming, the breakfast was a lovely treat, the towns beautiful and the staff thought about us and provided support
Beautiful rooms. Spotlessly clean. Ample parking. Staff are lovely and friendly. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend. A real little gem
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!
Absolutely amazing!
The staff were fabulous, and so friendly, and very accommodating. Thank you so much Rosie and colleagues.
Our rooms were immaculately clean with lovely bathrooms, and a picnic breakfast basket.
I highly recommend this beautiful pub/ hotel.
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 bedroom’s good friendly service and their restaurant is especially good

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.
