You are guaranteed a warm welcome at Church Hill House, a 500 year old Tudor guest house in the centre of an attractive village, situated in the rolling countryside on the Essex-Suffolk border. The house is listed grade 2 and heavily beamed, yet providing two comfortable en-suite double bedrooms, one with an adjoining single - ideal for a family with a child and another with a four-poster bed.
We are situated conveniently for the market towns of Braintree, Halstead, Saffron Walden and Sudbury and within easy reach of Cambridge, Colchester and Bury St Edmunds. The famously attractive village of Finchingfield is within 2 miles and Thaxted, 'home' of Gustav Holst and Dick Turpin, 5 miles away. The house is in the centre of Wethersfield, at the edge of the village Green and directly opposite the historic Parish Church.
For walkers, there are some attractive rambles starting in Wethersfield and the River Pant is only 5 minutes away. For lunches and evening meals there are several restaurant and pubs within a short drive or bike ride from Church Hill House.

In 2012 Visit England removed all B&Bs from their web site and outsourced responsibility for quality assessment to G4S.
Thus Visit England ceased being a shop window for UK or overseas visitors wanting B & B accommodation.
We do not agree with this change of policy and so, after being accredited by Visit England/Britain for 9 years with four stars and 4 years as Gold Award, we left the scheme in 2012.
However we strive to maintain and indeed improve on the 4 star gold standards we achieved.
