Lovely Relaxing Stay!

Lovely quiet relaxing stay. Lovely room with nice modern decor. Spa facilities great but unfortunately the pool was closed during our stay but we made use of the hot tub, sauna and steam room. Only reason I haven't given five stars is because the pool was closed and the room (mainly bathroom) could have been slightly cleaner. All in all, a lovely stay, great price for what you get and we will definitely return once the pool is open!

Nice enough for the money

We stayed here for a night, helpful staff, room was massive and cleanish, the floor needed a much better hoover as hair was everywhere. Breakfast was good, nice grounds and very quiet come night! Plenty to watch on tv like Netflix, Disney etc. Overall we’d stay there again!
Darryl, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great facilities. Staff really friendly and helpful. Room looked great, bed nice and comfy. I’m not one nitpick but there was a used dirty towel in the wardrobe though. Bar and food reasonably priced, pizza was delicious!

Website pictures were definitely not the bathroom we had , Staff lovely though but room really out dated . The Bed though was very comfortable and had a good sleep.

Jennie, 1-night trip

A pleasant stay

We had a good stay - the pool is a welcome addition - check times families can go in so you’re not disappointed. Staff friendly and helpful. Also we didn’t realise food stopped at 8:30pm so we got a take out. Staff helpful with ordering and gave plates and cutlery etc so no problem. Fire alarm in the middle of the night so all evacuated. It was dealt with efficiently and calmly however not much communication or apologies for disruption from staff the following day. That would have been my expectation. Overall a pleasant stay in nice grounds.

1 night stop

Have seen this hotel come up a few times and thought i would try it when i was working in the area. Being a golf club it has lots of extras, gym, spa, pool etc. The gym was well equipped with the latest tech, the pool area was lovely with a jacuzzi ,steam and sauna room. Clean changing rooms with ample lockers. The room was spacious with one of the largest beds ive seen, decent amenities, tea,coffee n biscuits. Great bathroom and shower. The restaurant was nice, the food was decent with plenty of options and great prices. A great place to stay and i will return.

I’d stay again in cooler months and not eat there

The rooms are pretty basic like a Travelodge, it didn’t have air con which it does state I just overlooked. The bar over looks the golf course which is pretty, the food at the bar wasn’t very good specially for the price.

Overall feedback

Tidy room but unfortunately housekeeping had left some rubbish on the floor from the previous occupants. The road at the front is very busy and noisy from about 5.30 a.m. onwards disturbing our sleep. Otherwise the stay was okay.

Great room!

Room is great. Would go as far to say as looked better than the photos which is rare. Only downside was that there is no mini fridge which was disappointing. But would for sure stay again if I’m in the area!

Concert

Our room was right opposite the housekeeping room, so was noisy in the morning, also could hear people talking in next room late evening. We paid extra for early check-in but had to wait nearly 15mins until room was ready. Note, we rang prior to advise hotel of our request. Staff were friendly and there are good facilities.

Well done The Essex!

Fab place. I’ve stayed a few times and it’s always good quality. Staff went above and beyond this visit. Gym was excellent with good quality air con. My room was nice & comfy. I did 3 classes during my stay, all classes were of high quality. I had an evening meal & breakfast, again good quality. I sat out on the veranda overlooking the golf course. I also used the sauna during my visit which was one of the hottest I’ve been in! Top notch! Well done The Essex
