4-Star Hotels in Essex, United Kingdom

I had a great stay in this hotel. Friendly and accommodating staff. Very clean and tidy. Food is amazing especially their breakfast. I was happy my room was on the ground floor coz i don’t think there is a lift. I has a nice view from my window too. Will definitely recommend. Worth my money.

Great location, parking eas a squeeze bit we managed to park both days. The room was lovely with a spacious bathroom, had aircon whoch was a treat for uk rooms but it was very noisy even on low. The bed was on the small size which meant my 6 ft 2 husband found it uncomfortable especially given that it was hot during our stay. The blackout window blind was helpful, but could have done with being a few millimeters wider to prevent the bright morning light from shining in. We didn't eat at the hotel but the menu looked great and we saw others eating as we entered and exited. We did have a few drinks (our non-alcoholic drink was more expensive than an alcoholic drink) which were on the expensive side, but again to be expected when you are in a hotel. All in all we would stay again if there was a room with a bigger bed.

A lovely warm welcome on arrival. The room was beautiful, spacious and in such a lovely little village

I booked a last minute night away with the children: afternoon tea followed by an overnight. The afternoon tea was delicious and I was really well catered for as a vegan diner. The Grand Hall was a beautiful setting for afternoon tea. The children also loved their food - the sandwiches were much simpler for the children and they got seconds based on how delicious they were. Our room was large and had a sofa bed and a cot bed. We enjoyed playing in the grounds including the play area, outdoor chess, boules, the scavenger hunt and the fitness trail. My son also loved playing football in the garden - he was excited that there were goals set up. We had dinner in The Fox Bar and had drinks and played cards in the Grand Hall afterwards. Breakfast the next morning was delicious. We were really excited to find newts in the pond. They would love to stay again. I would love to come for an overnight with my partner to experience it differently without the children.

Staff were great all very friendly Room was spacious wardrobe big enough for a 4 yr old to sleep in ( excuse my humour ) and very clean Evening meal portions great food very tasty & staff looked after granddaughter well with keeping her occupied . Breakfast was a little of a let down as under the warmer food was still cold and bacon very dry … cheese was dried up with the cold meats only I flavour yoghurt I wish I had ordered off the fresh cooked menu of eggs selection ( but I never left hungry ) Despite second paragraph I would defo return

I wouldn't recommend this hotel. First off, the triple room photos online were misleading and didn't match the actual room, which put us in an unsuitable space. Secondly, the hotel's service attitude was very average; we could never get through to the front desk when calling. While the room initially seemed okay, we discovered later that the cleanliness was poor, with colored stains on the towels. The only upside is its location, being the closest hotel to the airport. Unless you absolutely need to stay near the airport, I'd advise against it.

The hotel is very njice a reward. The lkxation is from.the station a taxu or a bus . A hotel.aervice busses for this area . The polution leverls are falling rapiduly and helping the staff stay.qirh tje plans ia to uae feet cover s i have golashes palatix then off my boota and on theae over my socks.. or slippers or a hosue shoe ..like a indoor trainers or shoe fpr sports. The carpest are tp be kept but if the customera kwpw tjis bargin the staff can have many many pther taaka compelted within health and safety. The only.fripe.is thd insiatance to use the swivel sink block.. i loke wpaom salts this brings that watwr alkine ovwr and it sets off a magnet. Or similar the water in side the human needs this and the bathing water but the plumbing is hoinf to readjuat as nearly all hotels haev this ambitons .

Our room was spotless , a comfy bed and a good shower , the pool+ hot room area were really good, but for reference there are 3 (members only) aqua aerobics classes a week which use the whole pool , and whose participants’warm up’ prior to the class -so it’s very busy to the class , there are a great selection of (pre bootable )classes , treatments and a well equipped  gym (all obviously open to  members ) , the meal options are delicious, and the staff are charming

Fabulous location, if you need the airport. But, you have to bus/cab/drive into Southend/Rayleigh/wherever if not wanting the airport. 15min walk to various eateries, if you don't want to eat in the hotel, like Toby Carvery, Hungry Horse, African, fish and chips. Majority of staff seen were happy and chatty, nice to see. 5* breakfast, would definitely recommend as had lots of choice. Room was clean, included bed, desk, chair, armchair, safe, kettle, iron, toiletries, bath&shower.

The room is OK, the landlord can arrange a drop-off at the airport, 7 pounds. It’s a bit early to check out.
