The Ongar Bell, Chipping Ongar, Essex

The Ongar Bell has been lovingly restored and tastefully modernised to provide our guests with a home-from-home feeling with the added bonus of being your own landlord/lady in the heart of Essex, surrounded by beautiful countryside and close to Brentwood where TOWIE has made the Sugar Hut famous for a fantastic night out in true Essex style.

With 6 individually-styled bedrooms, there's enough space for up to 12 guests, but with so much on offer we're certain that you won't be spending much time in your room. At the heart of The Ongar Bell is an opulent lounge bar where you are the landlord/landlady, making it the ideal place to host the ultimate lock-in or relax over a casual drink with friends or family. The lounge bar also boasts a snooker table, darts, game consoles and an impressive 75” plasma TV with Sky HD - perfect for watching the latest movies or catching up on the sports games.

On the first floor, a spacious living room with a vaulted ceiling and wood burning stove awaits, while the adjacent dining room offers a stylish setting in which to host your own dinner party - there's even a dumb waiter to send food up directly from the kitchen.

Outside there is a beautiful garden laid over three levels, the first level is a large walled patio area with more than enough seating to enjoy the barbecue. The second tier is laid to lawn and flower beds with a picturesque gingerbread house that is lit up by fairy lights at night, creating a magical ambience. The third tier is a private walled garden that houses a 10 person hot tub together with a changing room, shower toilets. The hot tub is covered by a Japanese styled pergola situated in our Japanese garden together with koi carp pond. Please note that the hot tub carries an additional charge and can only be rented by the day, we also offer spa treatment and afternoon tea for a minimum of 8 guests. This area is also lit by fairy lights creating a wonderful experience especially for a special occasion.
