The Pheasant, Essex

Description: The Pheasant

Located between Halstead and Sudbury amid rolling the Suffolk countryside, The Pheasant is set in a carefully renovated traditional English country inn. The winner of the AA Pub of the Year award for 2014-2015, this charming property offers cosy accommodation and great food in a friendly, relaxing traditional pub atmosphere.

Nestled on the Essex/Suffolk border, with delightful views over the surrounding landscape, The Pheasant has just five individually themed and decorated rooms. Each room is named after a legendary local personality - Thomas Gainsborough, Titus Oates, John Constable... and comes with all modern facilities and amenities, including plush bedding, luxurious en-suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi.

The Pheasant's warm and inviting restaurant serves freshly prepared, locally sourced regional food every day of the week, much of it from the hotel's own fruit and vegetable garden. Comfortable chairs, beautiful oak tables and an open fire in winter create an intimate and friendly atmosphere, and in summer, guests can also enjoy meals in the sunny garden terrace. Guests can choose from an excellent wine list and a great selection of locally brewed ales and beers.
