Two of the farm buildings still stand and were renovated as the Essex Barn and the Stable Inn. This former farmhouse boasts 36 en suite bedrooms, a busy bar and restaurant and three event spaces that can be used for meetings, dinners, family celebrations and weddings. The hotel lies in the heart of the countryside district of Rochford and is rich in history, boasting numerous medieval churches. The Chichester Hotel is a charming and historic boutique venue which boasts a warm and friendly service for business and leisure travellers and the surrounding community. The hotel takes its name from Sir John de Chichestre who was the original occupant of Chichester Hall, a 13th century moated farmhouse which still survives to this day.
