For a golf break it’s ideal with other facilities to enjoy. We weren’t here for golf, but just staying for a wedding. The room and bathroom looked a little tired but for just sleeping in it’s ok. My wife pulled on her side of the bed cover to get in and the bedside cabinet draw came out completely landing on her foot bruising it. The breakfast was good and staff were nice.

Service was excellent from check in to check out. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly. Room was modern, clean and very comfortable. Fantastic facilities to cater for the whole family! Our breakfast was delicious and staff were kind to prepare a special dietary meal for my husband. Will definitely visit The Essex again.

Great room!

Room is great. Would go as far to say as looked better than the photos which is rare. Only downside was that there is no mini fridge which was disappointing. But would for sure stay again if I’m in the area!

The property location was beautiful. Our room only had one bed in it, we had 2 adults and a child, staff did bring a fold out bed down after requesting. The bed was small, the mattress was very thin which meant you could feel the wooden slates, therefore resulted in a poor night sleep and bad back. In the bathroom there was red stains on the wall, the wash gel had nothing in. The towels had signs of staining. The bedding also had a stain. Swimming pool was good
