It goes without saying that Gosfield hall itself is the best starting point for accommodation and they boast 23 suites, comprising of 14 double rooms and nine family rooms. This makes it perfect for wedding guests as all they have to do is take a short walk back to their room after an action-filled day celebrating. another great plus is that the morning after you can enjoy a bit more time with your guests and recall some of the wonderful moments about the wedding.


the marquis wedding accommodation

Located in the Village of Gosfield and a mere couple of minutes drive away from Gosfield Hall, The Marquis wedding accommodation offers 9 en-suite bedrooms, a private bar, lounge and dining facilities. This recently refurbished grade 1 building is the perfect place for your wedding guests to stay before the actual wedding day. This makes it ideal for the groom and groomsmen to stay there, cutting down on getting ready time and no excuses for being late!

You may also hire rooms at the marquis for wedding guests for the night of the wedding. This solution provides close accommodation to Gosfield without the extra cost of hiring rooms at Gosfield itself. In essence, a good budget alternative.


the annexe at gosfield lake resort

The annexe at Gosfield lake resort is really close to the wedding venue, like a mile away close, however, there is limited accommodation here, so booking early is essential. The rooms are annexed off the main residence, the lake house. Prices start from £90 per night for a double or twin room or £100 per night for a deluxe double room.

Although the lake resort doesn’t have a lot of accommodation, I’m including it due to it’s close proximity to the wedding venue and could be ideal for a family wishing to be close.

the bull hotel – halstead

The bull hotel in Halsted is located right in the middle of Halsted town centre & whilst not on the doorstop of Gosfield hall itself, it is only a 10 minute drive away. The Bull as the name might imply is a pub, though it does have accommodation on site, plus you can check in and have a pint too. Wedding guests staying here can also have a hearty breakfast before heading off to the wedding if they are staying the night before, or before they leave to go home.

All of the rooms offer the typical amenities you’d expect and with good transport links too. You can check in at 2pm and check out by 11am, so there’s no need to rush about. A short journey in a taxi will get you to Gosfield in plenty of time ready to enjoy the wedding.


holiday inn express – braintree

Located approx 5-6 miles away from Gosfield hall in Braintree is the holiday inn express. The holiday Inn offers cheap and flexible accommodation and is located just off the a120, so getting there is pretty straight forward. As a hotel chain the holiday inn offers all your typical amenities and is just down the road from the freeport village, so if you need any last minute dresses or wedding gifts then you’re well served there.

Braintree is a major town in Essex, so getting to and from Gosfield hall wedding venue, won’t be too problematic, with Taxis a plenty.


premier inn – braintree

Everyone loves a premier inn right? Okay so it’s not exactly the Ritz, but the Premier Inn at Braintree is a perfect place to crash after a hectic wedding at Gosfield. It is also budget friendly too and just like the Holiday Inn, it is just a 10 or so minutes taxi ride or car drive away.

The added benefit is that there are fast-food restaurants aplenty here & freeport is just a quick walk away if you fancy doing a bit of clothes shopping before the big day (I’ll add that many guests, usually the guys, have often found themselves looking for a shirt they forgot at home and having to fast track to freeport to buy a replacement).

With food on site, courtesy of the Mulberry Tree restaurant, you can have a full English breakfast and evening meal too!


Travel Lodge – Braintree

Another budget friendly option is the newly built (as of 2022) travel lodge located in the very heart of Braintree. With plenty of offsite amenities nearby & only approx 5 miles from Gosfield Hall, this is a good budget alternative to any of the above mentioned hotels. Having stayed at various Travel Lodges I’m personally a fan of them as you can find one pretty much anywhere and in close proximity to where you may want to visit too.

One potential hassle you may find with this Travel Lodge being smack bang in the middle of the town is on-site parking, or lack of. This isn’t too much of a problem though, as Travel Lodge offer 24hr parking in very close car parks for the wallet friendly price of £3 for 24hrs. The hotel also offers an onsite café serving breakfast and evening meals, so at least your covered for a bite to eat if you don’t want to go out and about for something.

If coming via train, then Braintree station is only a short 10 minute walk from the hotel too!
