Gosfield Hall is a magnificent building with noble connections, home to many kings and queens in the past. Overlooking a tranquil lake, the historical mansion is set among 10 acres of parkland in the heart of picturesque rural Essex. A seamless combination of Elizabethan charm and Georgian elegance, the grand interior of the house is home to the Queen’s Gallery, Grand Salon, Marquis of Buckingham’s former Ballroom and Library along with a number of stately bedrooms.

Externally, Gosfield Hall is equally as impressive. The property has retained many of his historical period features including its leaded windows, chimneys and clock and weathervane.

After being exiled from France King Louis XVIII of France and Navarre, and his Queen Mary-Josephe-Louise of Savoy took refuge in England. Lord Buckingham had long been in sympathy of Royalsit France, and in 1807 offered to loan them Gosfield Hall. They gratefully accepted this offer and along with a huge entourage of courtiers and staff they stayed there for the next couple of years. Over this time the Hall become a home of lavish French hospitality, with many social gatherings including such distinguished guests as the Prince Regent. According to French tradition on Sunday's the villagers were allowed into the kitchen to see the dinner set out for the King, and on occasions were allowed into The Grand Salon to watch him dine. King Louis and his Queen moved out of the Hall in 1809.

"A good property for 3-4 adults, the attic might be good for agile children and teenagers. The eclectic decor is a mixture of Middle Eastern and Baltic. The off road car park is a bit small for family estate cars, but on road parking is free."

"It was a great pleasure to cycle through the really beautiful country side . My brother and I enjoyed staying in the pod . We lacked for nothing. The slight down side was at 7pm when we arrived we had received no instructions as to how to get get into our accommodation. I had to send an email to Matt who phoned with the details of how to get I'm. We would love to make a returned visit later in the year."

"My husband & I stayed for two nights at the cabin, Maria is an exceptional host & thought of every little detail, the cabin is equipped with everything's you could need for a short stay. The attention to detail & the decor gives it a luxurious feel. Would highly recommend. "

"spotless , I like the little touches like the bottle of bubbly and chocolate Easter eggs. It is a lovely location , in a beautiful village, and the sunset over the field from the veranda are stunning. Highly recommended"

"We really loved the private and peaceful "

"Lovely stay in a surprisingly spacious cabin in a lovely rural setting."

"Amazing what you can fit into a small space! Microwave and toaster are good for basic self catering, though we were glad that we had brought containers to cook in and our normal camping plates and cutlery. Location is very good, quiet and private, but with plenty to explore in the nearby area."

Novotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent room, lovely breakfast, good staff very happy"

B&B HOTEL Ipswich

10/10 Excellent

"Easy walk to and from the train station. Very convenient if you are going to an event at Portman Road, that is also within walking distance. My room faced the parking lot which wasn’t ideal as I had requested a room facing the river. However it was quiet and at night the hotel sections off the corridors with doors which makes it nice and quiet for sleeping. The breakfast was a nice selection of hot and cold breakfast items. The hotel felt very safe and the room was clean and comfortable. "
