Reconnect with nature at a classic, Grade II-listed country manor with AA Rosette dining and a spa in the village of Stock - includes breakfast, one optional dinner, and spa access
  • A true hidden gem: Nestled in the picture-perfect Essex village of Stock, Greenwoods Hotel & Spa offers a stay brimming with country charm. Refurbished in-keeping with its Grade II listed status, it combines modernised guest rooms with clear nods to its long history, which dates back to the 17th century. Panelled walls, chandeliers and elegant fireplaces, together with a refreshing and bright colour scheme, serve to create a most relaxing escape.

  • Pamper yourself: The relaxing facilities extend to the spa and wellness area, made up of a Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, indoor pool, relaxation zones, and a fitness suite. Round things off with an Elemis treatment, a MEDIK8 facial or a signature Greenwoods massage, perhaps followed by a pampering nail treatment. You'll likely never want to tear yourself away from this quiet haven, but rest assured - the primed and polished rooms, each equipped with all the necessary mod cons, are just as idyllic.

  • AA Rosette dining: Taking pride of place at the hotel's heart is Ellis's Restaurant, whose commitment to excellence has afforded it an AA Rosette award. Whether you're feasting on its Sunday roasts or savouring British and European flavours, a memorable culinary journey is always guaranteed. The Lounge Bar makes the perfect spot for unwinding by an open fire, and of course enjoying a quintessentially British afternoon tea.

Location and what's nearby

Stock Rd, Stock, Ingatestone CM4 9BE

In spite of its quaint size and green surroundings, Stock offers plenty for guests to see and do on a relaxing weekend escape. For an active morning, tee off at the Stock Brook Country Club or head east for a walk around Hanningfield Reservoir - a lovely landmark surrounded by woodland and brimming with birds and wildlife. Also within easy reach for a day of local history and culture are Hylands House and Ingatestone Hall, both about a 10-minute drive away. Of course, nearby Chelmsford is also worth a visit for some retail therapy, a scenic stroll along the River Can, a wander around its cathedral, and a spot of great food.
