Welcome to Wivenhoe House. Surrounded by glorious parkland, yet only minutes from Colchester, Britain’s oldest recorded town, Wivenhoe House is a beautiful four-star luxury hotel, combining the romance and history of an eighteenth century Grade II listed house with all the comforts of contemporary living.

Our brasserie and bar is open every day for lunch and dinner and our impressive afternoon tea is served in our elegant lounges in the main house, where John Constable stayed as he worked on his landscape painting of ‘Wivenhoe Park’.

Since its earliest days, Wivenhoe House has played its part in shaping history. As the home of the pioneering Edge Hotel School it continues to do so.

Dedicated undergraduates looking to make their mark in the world of hospitality, work alongside our highly skilled professional team, ensuring a superb level of service for all our guests.

At Wivenhoe House we are committed to ensuring every guest, adults and children, enjoy a memorable experience from the moment they cross our threshold
