The White Hart Hotel Coggeshall is located in the centre of the Essex village of Coggeshall, near to Braintree, Marks Tey, Kelvedon, Witham and Colchester via the A120. The White Hart Coggeshall takes its looks and surroundings straight from a picture postcard, this stunning building dates back to the 15th century and still has a wealth of its original features, notably its attractive timbered rooms. The main part was built in 1526 as a home for one Robert Paycocke, but appears to have become an inn quite soon afterwards, patronised by merchants who dealt far and wide in the towns principal manufacture, which was lace. The oldest part of the building, was originally one end of the Coggeshalls Guildhall, was later incorporated into the White Hart Hotel and is now its residents lounge. The fine old White Hart Coggeshall suits its surroundings admirably. Its as perfect an English hotel as you could wish for, combining ancient dignity with the highest standards of modern comfort.
