Stayed at the hotel as I was attending a birthday party in nearby Earls Colne. The hotel was easy to find and location to the village was excellent. Staff were so helpful from check in to check out. Was a slight issue with my room during my stay but this was sorted expeditiously by the duty manager and housekeeping. Would recommend a stay here and would certainly stay again next time I visit the area.

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.

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!

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!

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.
