The Essex Golf & Country Club Hotel

A great place to stay for business or with friends and family, with excellent facilities for golf, tennis, fitness, spa and a beautiful pool.

I’ve just returned home from 3 nights at this hotel. The first night wasn’t great, the hotel is used by lots of tradesmen and unfortunately I had one either side of me who both were up and about at 4am. One had their tv on so loud I could hear every word and the other was just making a racket. The rooms are mainly overlooking the car park so you will hear the traffic noise, doors slamming etc. The windows could do with replacing. I actually complained as I was travelling for work and had a heavy 4 days ahead of me, booked into the hotel. The lovely people on reception actually moved my room completely and I ended up in one of the suites. It was upstairs and looked like it had been upgraded compared to the room downstairs. All in all, the room upstairs was lovely and I had a peaceful further couple of nights. In future I would request a room upstairs out the back of the hotel

Was a spacious room. Good food. Nice staff. Only issue was your don’t have a card to get to the swimming pool/cafe/bar and reception have to let you in. Two times we spent at least 10mins waiting at the gate. Reception was busy with other customers.

The manager, Paul Mednick was amazing. Super manager, great energy, customer support and attention to detail. Our room was dated and in need of tlc but it was clean with a great shower. Also, no place to get a drink after 10pm. Really surprising.

The rooms were dirty and dated the glass was blown in the windows so you couldn’t enjoy the view. The rooms needed to be updated and wasn’t very clean the wallpaper was stained and the carpet was nasty. They charge full rate for these rooms and it was no way worth the money. I would not go back or recommend

What a luxury place to stay. Clean, warm and comfortable rooms. Real value for money.

Didnt have any food but the gym is good and the rooms are spacious clean with nice view of 10th fairway

Booked a last minute stay and was lovely. Used the pool area and changing rooms etc all good. Had a drink in the bar terrace which was lovely. Room was spaces and fan provided due to hot weather. Lovely and quiet no issues at all.

The hotel is set in beautiful surroundings and only a short drive into town. Room was very clean and tidy with everything you need. The bathroom needed a bit of an update but not sure if this is on there to do list. Breakfast good along with the gym , pool and health spa a bonus although didn’t get time to use them. Overall great stay, will go back again.
