- Prested Hall
-
- Prested, whose site is mentioned
in the Doomsday Book, is a fine, part-moated Hall, 15th Century
in origin, set in its own 80 acres of park and woodland - an
oasis of tranquillity - on the outskirts of the village of Feering,
9 miles south of Colchester.
-
- The atmosphere at Prested is
relaxed but efficient. We hope you will find our staff friendly
and helpful, your accommodation and the setting peaceful.
-
- We have 10 en-suite bedrooms,
and we've been given Four Diamonds by both the RAC and the Eastern
Tourism Council.
-
- The rooms can be booked individually
or by a group. You might want to come while working temporarily
in the area, or for a bit of a break - but only mid-week as all
week-ends are taken by wedding parties.
|
 |
 |
- During club members' opening
times visitors can make free use of our pool & sauna, the
gym (subject to the manager's assessment and agreement for health
& safety reasons), and the tennis courts.

Double Rooms from £115 Prpn including breakfast
Superior Double Rooms from £135 prpn including breakfast

|
- All rooms have en-suite facilities;
some with baths, some with showers, some with both.
- If specifically a shower or
a bath is important to you, please say so and we'll choose your
room number accordingly.
-
- Tennis players will find the
best showers are, anyway, at the club.
-
- The full cooked English Breakfast
is normally served in the conservatory.
- Dinner is available but must
be booked in advance (by lunch-time please) and ordered from
the menu. As most of our mid-week guests come on their own and
would - we are told - enjoy a bit of company, we presume they
will want to eat at one big table together and this is what we'll
provide.
- If you'd rather eat alone and/or
are there for an intimate tête-à-tête please
ask and we'll gladly seat you in a corner.
-
- A buffet supper is always available
on Tuesdays up at the club (but again please warn them if you
can) and some nights we will in fact invite hotel guests to eat
at the club where the menus is a little cheaper.
|
 |
 |
- The adjacent villages of Feering
& Kelvedon have several much-enjoyed pubs for evening meals
as well as a good Indian restaurant.
-
- A few miles away are a couple
of really excellent and popular restaurants, The Barn in Marks
Tey and Baumann's in Coggeshall.
-
- We can organise you a very
special reduced price deal in Crispin's, a lovely 16th C restaurant
in the very adjacent village of Messing.
|
- If you want to really get away
from it all, come by train and we'll meet you at Kelvedon station
(on the Ipswich/Colchester line from Liverpool Street).
-
- But be warned, if you're thinking
of walking to & from the pubs and/or station, our tree-lined
avenue is itself nearly half a mile long.
-
- It's yet further into the village,
and a bit more still to the station.
- Smoking is not permitted anywhere
on the premises.

 |
- Special 2-night
offers:
- We have a treatment centre
in the grounds, and we can usually offer a special away-break:
come for any two nights (we can never include a Saturday) and
we give you: for £110 pp (couple) or £125 single,
2 nights B&B, a welcoming bottle of wine, and one hour's
massage (aromatherapy or traditional Swedish) in total - which
can be taken as half an hour each for a couple or a whole hour
for one of you; or it would be one full hour if you are on your
own.
- Plus, during members' opening
times, free use of the pool, sauna, steam-room etc, lawn tennis
courts and - subject to the manager's approval - the gym.
