Wivenhoe House Hotel, Essex

Description: Wivenhoe House Hotel

Nestled in the dramatic grounds of Wivenhoe park, between the historic town of Colchester and the pretty riverside village of Wivenhoe, Wivenhoe House Hotel is set in a painstakingly restored 18th century mansion, originally commissioned in 1759. Immortalised in Constable's painting ''Wivenhoe Park, Essex'', part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, the house has had an eventful and varied history, including use by the War Department and as the original home of the University of Essex. With the addition of a modern wing, this beautiful property is now a luxury hotel, offering exclusive accommodation, award winning cuisine and bespoke service in a beautiful parkland setting.

Ideal for business or pleasure in this pretty corner of Essex, Wivenhoe House Hotel is just a short drive from the historic centre of Colchester, the oldest recorded town in Britain, while the charming villages of the river Colne, Dedham, and many more historic landmarks are also within easy reach.

Wivenhoe House Hotel is home to The Brasserie Restaurant, the proud holder of two AA Rosettes. Cuisine is contemporary British, with the accent on the finest locally sourced produce and daily changing menus. Delicious afternoon tea is also a firm favourite with guests at the house, and private dining is available at the Signatures restaurant for parties of eight or more.
