WELCOME
It's Emma and James, Venue Owners here - thanks for visiting!
The concept of Essex Stays started with our own love for weekends away with friends.
Newly renovated, we have converted The Kings Head from a local and historic pub, into an exclusive use Staycation venue.
Since opening in May 2022, our luxury staycation venue, with 5* hotel amenities has already become an award winning venue; winning 'Best Boutique Stay in Essex' 2023.
Sleeping 14+ guests and featuring a hot tub, karaoke room and private cocktail bar, the venue is perfect for weddings, milestone celebrations with family and friends, or corporate events.
Self cater or 'Make it Special' through our amazing #supportlocal partnerships, we can't wait to host your staycation!
Love Emma and James xx
