The Essex Golf & Country Club Hotel

For a couple nights away the swimming pool/gym facilities and room were ideal and food is great.

Pros: Gary? on reception when we arrived was great. Super friendly and helped us out as it was our first time visiting. The boys in the bar were all super polite and lovely. The room is big and comfortable for what we paid.

Cons: When we was eating both nights in the restaurant/ bar area we noticed little black fruit flys, a little off putting but we understand that maybe nothing can be done about that.

Nice location, comfy bed and satisfying breakfast

Pros: Comfortable bed and quiet room at the back of the hotel overlooking the golf course. Lovely breakfasts.

Great room, good facilities, lovely breakfast!

Pros: The room was very comfortable! A lovely large bed, a nice shower and tea, coffee and biscuits in the room always welcome. The pool area was great with the spa and sauna and steam room in use.

Cons: There aren’t many loungers around the pool area so you do feel you need to be lucky to get one. They aren’t that comfortable either!

Pros: room was comfy Bar and restaurant was nice a drinks were a bit expensive thou. Staff were helpful and friendly Gym and pool facilities were lovely

Cons: Its a cash free hotel but need a £1 coin for lockers in male changing rooms

Lovely relaxing hotel with great facilities

Pros: Great facilities. Nice staff. Lovely relaxing atmosphere

Cons: Nothing- would be great to have larger discounts on spa and golf for hotel guests

Handy for our needs .

Pros: Quiet clean comfortable and ideal location as we were attending a funeral in Earls Colne at 10.30 am

Cons: Nothing . We didn’t use the facilities so can’t comment on them.

Great hotel

Pros: Stayed here a few time and has always been good. Pool facilities are great. Staff are excellent.

Cons: Couldn’t fault it

Perfect placing for attending Houchins wedding venue. Ideal for a weekend of golfing, we'll be back.

Pros: The staff were so kind and helpful, we needed to check out the room for my frail, elderly mother, and Rebecca showed us the facilities to put our minds at rest. We were also upgraded to a newly refurbished room after my partner mentioned the difficulty I had in climbing in and out of the bath, ( I have hip problems ) as our room had not yet been refurbished. The restaurant staff were also kind and helpful, so I could get meals to my mother, as her mobility is so compromised.

Cons: Room service would have been helpful, but the staff made it easy for me to take food to my mother.

Overall, I would recommend The Essex and hope to go again with friends.

Pros: This is the second time we've stayed at The Essex and would highly recommend it. The room and breakfast are both great. What we like the most is the arrange of facilities available for families.

Cons: The tennis rackets we borrowed were awful. The handle was hanging off. Just a recommendation would be to have a couple of pool tables or table tennis tables for the family to play on.

Provided us with what we needed and it was clean.

Pros: Customer service really matters: Jacob was brilliant! He understood our situation and accommodated us accordingly.
