About this property

The Bakehouse, Coggeshall

A beautiful, bright and spacious self-catering cottage in a converted Bake House. This one-bedroom property with space for additional guests is nestled in our garden right in the heart of beautiful Coggeshall.

A moment's walk from the shops, parks and historic treasures of the village (or town, depending on who you ask!), the Bakehouse is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway.
The space
When you enter the Bakehouse, there is a little entrance hall for your coats with a downstairs loo and sink. Then into the spacious kitchen diner. With dual aspect it is always filled with light and can comfortably seat 8 guests at the table. We provide 6 chairs but feel free to ask for more if you have guests coming. The kitchen is well-equipped with good quality cookware and knives to make your stay feel as much like cooking in your own kitchen as possible. There is a utility cupboard with a washing machine and microwave. If there is anything else you need kitchen-wise, our own home is next door so feel free to let us know and we can probably find it!

Upstairs you enter the beautiful living space. There is a sofa bed as well as two stylish easy chairs and side tables. The perfect space for curling up with a book or having a relaxing drink with friends. Sound systems in both the kitchen and the living room are easily connectable via bluetooth. If you have some work tasks to be getting on with there is a desk and the Bakehouse has its own wifi connection. The widescreen smart tv is ready for you to log into your own streaming services. The large trunk is the perfect hiding place for any spare bedding if you are using the sofa bed.

Next this leads into the bedroom with a luxurious, extra-length superking bed and en-suite shower room. The beds can also be made into twins if you prefer. There is a large wardrobe and chest of drawers as well as bedside tables with a drawer. There is an extra-large full length mirror is on the wall and soft uplighting throughout the upstairs which sets a calming mood for the space.

There is the option to use the single pull out bed as well, and the sofa-bed (pictured) which is a small double with topper mattress for added comfort. We have travel cots available for young children too and stair gates can be added ahead of your stay on request. Please also let us know the ages of your children if you would like a basket made up for them with a few toys, games and books to enjoy during your stay.

The Bakehouse is set within our own garden and our house is next door. There is a secluded area of the garden, through the arch, with a table and chairs available for your exclusive use. It leads into our herb and vegetable patch. Please help yourself to herbs for your cooking! There is no parking for guests at the Bakehouse though you are welcome to use our drive on arrival and departure for un/loading. Street parking & paid local car parks available 3-5 mins walk away.

Delightful Place

Fabulous location in the most charming village I have come across. Very spacious accommodation and super comfortable bed. Lovely touch by Tori with fresh flowers and scones and jam for our arrival. If we have the opportunity to return we will definitely book again.

Characterful Property

Torie, the host, was very friendly and helpful. The Property has a well equipped kitchen. There is plenty of space in the living area and bedroom. Parking in the public car park nearby was easy with the App. Coggeshall is a beautiful, quaint, characterful town whilst still being easily accessible to larger roads. There are walks from the front door.

Lovely homely property in the centre of Coggeshall

We were looking for a dog-friendly base over the Christmas period to visit local family in Coggeshall.The bakehouse was lovely and homely with a fantastically equipped kitchen where we were able to host the all-important Christmas day lunch.The superking bed was probably one of the comfiest my wife and I have ever slept on and the linen was of the highest quality. I don't often sleep well in new places but I slept like a log in this massive, soft, warm bed.Our 19-year-old daughter was happy on the sofa bed and the downstairs stairgate meant our dog could just sleep in the kitchen in front of the electric radiator.Everything was of the highest quality and it our first experience of branded hand soap which was a really nice touch as were the arrival scones.I really couldn't fault anything and we will certainly look to stay there again in the future.

no parking

found this cottage when searching for accommodation with parking so was surprised to find we were expected to unload and move the car to a nearby pay and display carpark when we arrived. bizarrely there are two lists of amenities on the website the one I had seen before the trip said "Parking on sight" whist the second less noticeable one explains that there is no parking for guests. I suppose technically there is parking on sight but it seams dishonest to advertise that if it is not available to the customer.

A beautiful property in a charming location

Needed somewhere to stay that was commutable to Basildon for our specific needs , dog friendly and a place to de stress. Couldn't have found a more lovely place. As all the reviews have said it was simply immaculate, the bed linen smelt heavenly and was so comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to self cater and even has a little store cupboard of spices and condiments for your use. A lovely bag of scones and jams were left for us on the table on arrival, fresh flowers and heaters left on so that the home was lovely and toasty. We knew nothing about Coggeshall until we arrived and couldn’t believe what a stunning place it is. This property is really well located right in the hub of everything with easy access to pubs n shops and fabulous takeaways. Parking near the property wasn’t a problem as plenty of spots to find around the village and then the nearby car park as needed. Torie and her husband made us all feel so welcome and communication was brilliant so highly recommend this gem of a place.

The Bakehouse

Had a lovely stay, good size kitchen, living room and bedroom. Enjoyed sitting in the garden that was reserved for guests. Hosts were very pleasant and helpful. If you like history, nature, beautiful old villages, and the sea nearby, this is a great place to visit.
