The WoolPack Inn

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.

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.

Excellent accomodation. Lovely room. Breakfast hamper very good.

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.

Very nice place to stay, great in room selection of snacks, breakfast items, teas and coffees. Shame the restaurant wasn’t open on my visit but there is options in the town within a few minutes walk. Overall very very good.

Room was very small but clean. In room breakfast was good. Very noisy. No food at the pub.

A lot of noise from the bar late at night.

Beautiful building, stunning rooms & the staff are a credit to the business, especially Chris who keeps the rooms spotless. The reason for the one star rating is that due to it being a pub you will experience unbearable levels of noise due to the karaoke & dj on a Friday or Saturday. The rooms should be heavily discounted on those days. They do warn you that these events are on but you honestly there’s noise and then there’s noise which is so loud that items on the tables in the room actually shake from the bass! Earplug muffled it very slightly but not enough to be able to sleep until post 1am. Then at 8am the daily cleaning starts. If you’re staying mid week that would be perfect I should imagine.

Unfortunately only stayed one night , it was a mile from Houchins where we attended a wedding. We stayed in Maldon room , so gorgeous and comfy , we had breakfast provided in our room , everything has been thought of and attention to detail was second to none !

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and well presented room. Breakfast is just items supplied in the room, but they have made the very best of the situation. A full breakfast would have earned a top score.

Great welcome and beautifully furnished, large room and bathroom. We will go back again next year!

A very pleasant stay in Coggeshall.

One of our two nights was very noisy. Attractive period property

Really lovely property and very charming

We were only there for 2 nights but everywhere was really clean and fresh. We were made very welcome and all staff were very friendly and helpful. The garden/outside seating area was also well kept. It is obviously a locals pub and everyone we spoke to was very friendly.

Nice room and bathroom. Also very happy for us to check out later than the required time.

Wonderfull Old building nicely restored inside.

Bed was very comfortable, and the staff was extremely helpful. Easy walk to the downtown area with some nice shops.

We stayed in the Dedham room which was beautiful, spacious and comfortable. The room was spotless and the breakfast basket ideal. Thank you to Mel for a warm welcome and completely relaxed stay.
