| The Feathers Inn has a rich history, dating back to the early 1600s when it was called The Princes Arms and had been owned by various blacksmiths and tanners.
In 1615, Ralph Osbertson purchased the inn and later, in 1670, allowed his son to change the name to The Feathers. It subsequently became one of the busiest coaching inns in the area, stabling over 100 horses. Documents of the period mention 5 bedrooms, a step parlour, moon parlour, lion parlour and various other rooms.
This 16th-century coaching inn has traditional charm, modern comforts, a restaurant and 2 bars. It''s well placed for Stansted Airport (20 minutes), Towerlands, Fennes, Leez Priory and Gosfield Hall.
The White Hart Hotel serves a wide range of freshly prepared meals, with an extensive bar menu and a separate à la carte menu also available. The excellent wine list offers a selection of wines from around the world to complement your meal.
The 2 bars are rich in authentic original character with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, a good selection of real ales and traditional log fires.
There are 31 comfortable and well-appointed en suite rooms.
The White Hart Hotel is an ideal base for exploring Essex, being a short drive from Chelmsford, Colchester and the pretty villages of Thaxted, Finchingfield, Coggeshall and Castle Hedingham.
