The Kings Arms in Coggeshall was lovely - as were the staff. Breakfast was very good in the morning. Note that there is significant traffic noise from the busy main road that it is on.

What a lovely place to stay! Stayed here for a night for work nearby. The room was pretty, the bed super comfortable, the temperature lovely and cosy, the bathroom toiletries and bed linens all super high quality. Wi-Fi was strong and meant I could work. But best of all, they really had thought of everything in the room… a thoughtful and plentiful hamper of breakfast items and treats; a mini fridge with fresh milk, juice, water, fruit and chocolate; a hairdryer; and even a pretty stone coaster by the bed for your evening cuppa. The place where you stay is attached to/ above a brasserie; you can hear some noise from there but it’s very muffled so no impact on concentration or sleep and it was silent from 10.30pm. It’s quirky and pretty with little staircases and winding corridors and wooden slat doors. There’s a communal room downstairs before you go up to the rooms which has a big wooden dining table and chairs (and coffee maker etc) so if you wished to you could easily sit to eat or work there if you wanted to get away from your room. The village itself is pretty and there’s easy parking nearby (either free on the road outside or free or low cost - depending on time of day - in a public car park 3 mins walk away). A perfectly formed and really lovely find. If I’m back in the area again for work in future I will return (with enthusiasm!)

The gentleman who checked me in was really pleasant and helpful. I was only staying one night but the room was clean and had everything necessary. Decent shower.

The staff were lovely but we only stayed for one night and unfortunately the room stank of cigarettes in the morning (clearly someone had been smoking just outside it) the staff came to check and were apologetic but we weren't offered compensation. We also found an old sock that had been left there. Again we told the staff and they apologised but nothing further.

The surroundings were really pleasant. The staff couldn’t be more helpful, offering to take luggage to my room. The room was extremely clean and was above my expectations.
