Essex Stays at The Kings Head

🎉 Kicking off the week with something truly special…

An incredible family have just booked Essex Stays for a whole 7 nights this October to celebrate a very special 80th birthday 🎂

They’ve got wonderful things planned for their milestone week — and our venue will be the hub for it all 🥂

Time with loved ones across generations, we’re honoured to play a small part in such a beautiful celebration 💛

The Lead Booker sent us the most amazing planning email yesterday to get the ball rolling — we can’t wait to help bring it all to life!

Have you found your reason to stay yet?

Life’s short, and these moments are worth making.

✨ Now taking bookings for autumn & beyond
✔️ Just 8 guests minimum
✔️ Kids stay FREE

‘The Master’ En-Suite is ideal for your guest of honour — with peaceful ground floor access straight into the garden, and tucked away from the buzz of the house.

It’s the perfect spot for a quiet breather while the rest of the family sing and dance the night away in the private bar, karaoke and disco room 🎤🍸✨ 👇

Step inside the most talked-about en-suite at Essex Stays, featuring a Japanese deep soaking tub with champagne trough, double stone shower, marble vanity, mood lighting, and direct access to the private hot tub and garden.

From Intimate Dinners to Big Celebrations ⬇️

Leaning into the building’s rich history as a village pub, The Kings Head has likely hosted countless gatherings over its 400 years — and now, it’s your turn.

🍴Our dining space works beautifully for groups as small as 8 and up to 45 guests. Go formal with crisp white tablecloths or opt for relaxed grazing-style dining. For bigger celebrations, the space transforms seamlessly into a dance floor.

Twinkling curtain lights stay up year-round — just dim the lights, cue your playlist on the venue’s integrated iPad-controlled sound system with Spotify playlists at the ready, and enjoy your night.

👨🏻‍🍳 Cook for yourselves in the fully kitted-out kitchen, or book a private chef experience to make it extra special.
