THE NOBLE GOOSE GAINS TWO AA ROSETTES Just three months after opening its doors, now under Blackwells, The Noble Goose is absolutely thrilled to have been awarded two AA Rosettes following an inspection by AA Hospitality. Nestled in the heart of Coggeshall, The Noble Goose’s approach is simple yet considered: elegant food served in a relaxed, welcoming setting. The AA says, “Formerly Ranfields, The Noble Goose may have a new name but it has been a stalwart of the local dining scene for almost 30 years. Set in a 16th-century timbered house, the mood is laid-back, upbeat and cosmopolitan, and the quirky decor akin to an eclectic art gallery with antique linen-clothed tables.” To receive this recognition so early in their journey is a reflection of the passion, talent, and hard work of the team.

Upgrades over the last year have seen the enhancement of bedrooms, public areas and leisure facilities, introducing a more contemporary design throughout the hotel. A key addition to this property is the Open Lobby concept, now a signature feature across many LGH hotels, creating a flexible, all-day social space for dining, working and relaxing, centred around a tiled bar. The Spirit Health Club offers a fully equipped gym, an indoor heated swimming pool and relaxing sauna and steam rooms - all complimentary and available to overnight guests. Dining is a key part of the hotel experience. Guests can enjoy a relaxed meal in the hotel’s Marco Pierre White New York Italian, with the menu featuring a range of Italian favourites alongside American classics such as ribs and burgers.
