The Essex Golf and Country Club

Good place to stay if you want access to road links. Golf course is busy and the lawn mowing starts at 7am so if you want a lie in that's not always an option.

Stayed in the old part of hotel ,no 1 corridor was not clean at all fire door cobwebs and dragon flies by the fire exit Please mention to staff I don’t want to hear conversations outside my door in morning Receoption was friendly Lovely warm pool

Hotel and staff were lovely. Showers are a nightmare though, the design is terrible as they just leak constantly all over the floor.

Clean and quiet hotel lots of parking .. arrived late so missed dinner so only downside was no real bar meals or snacks

Nice hotel stayed many times before can’t go wrong staying here

I enjoyed my stay at The Essex, I was a female solo traveller and stayed for 2 nights, I couldn't fault the spa facilities they were lush! The breakfast buffet was a bit small but you could order what you liked from the menu at no extra charge with plenty of options! Unfortunately there was a problem with the electrics in my room and they had to be rebooted a couple times. The electrics had damaged my hair curling tongs. I mentioned this to the manager and she even tried fixing them which I really appreciated. When they couldn't fix them she stated they would buy me new ones as a replacement! The manager Elaine, emailed me the next day with the order number on Amazon stating they would be delivered the next day, so I am so so chuffed at the help I received from her and couldn't be more grateful I have had the curling tongs replaced. The staff also moved me rooms to another deluxe double to solve the faulty electrics. I am very happy with the staff who were lovely and really helpful. Would really recommend this hotel. Thank you again guys 🙏

It was a pleasant stay with clean modern room and bathroom. We were on the ground floor and was woken up at 5am with the person upstairs going to the bathroom and having a walk around on the creaky floor - not ideal when away for a relaxing break. We fell asleep again only to be woken up by golfers with noisy caddies walking right past the open bedroom window as the room window opens out onto the golf course walkway + this happened on Saturday and Sunday morning. EV charger outside kept cutting off part way through charging and only managed 11 miles of charge in 2 days. On a more positive note, the room came with access to the swimming room, sauna and hot tub which was lovely. Staff all very pleasant and will return (albeit in an upstairs room] if in the area again - we stayed to attend a nearby wedding at Gosfield Hall. Uber to wedding venue averaged £22 each way

Brilliant hotel with excellent staff.

Nicely placed hotel with reasonable room rates, looked like the pictures. Very happy.

Lovely hotel and nice pool steam sauna.. just not near any shops etc
