Nice place, shame about the duvet.
Staff were friendly. Building was nice, but the room was not that comfortable. No fridge and the safe was broken. The worst thing was that the bed was a 6ft mattress but we only had a 5ft duvet, which didn’t cover two people in the bed. This meant we had a poor night’s sleep.

Overall very good hotel with excellent facilities
Very comfy bed , quiet , nice leisure centre with excellent facilities that you can use for free during your stay
Spacious and quiet room
Room service food was very nice (sandwiche/fries/salad
Although quite expensive totalling £19
I can't really fault the hotel in any way
Only thing I would say is that I was told I could use the pool until 6pm when I arrived only to be told it was closing at 5 40 which was disappointing. But other than that I have no negatives to mention

Nice place but wish we knew there was going to be a wedding band blasting towards our room until midnight. Knowing we had a baby it would have been nice to warn us of the noise or offer a room away from the music.

The restaurant staff are wonderful, tbh I'm reluctant to share how wonderful this place is would like to keep it secret.
A family were v annoying with a tennis ball and needed to be stopped only down side.
Cocktails are excellent.

The hotel, staff and the food are all excellent. The grounds are lovely to explore and walk around.
If that is not enough, there is an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool.

Call ahead for the spa/pool, check the rules
Very good hotel, but would caution if going with children if you want to use the pool. There are very strict restrictions of when and how the pool can be used, but the small print is only shared once you arrive at the hotel.
We booked and paid full price for my stepson to stay in a separate room only for him to be turned away from the swimming poo. It turned out that supervised 15-year olds are only allowed in the pool during a 2.5 hour period during the day, and that was only pointed out to us in the small print as he was turned away from the pool. Hotel management told us rules are rules and as the spa/pool is not part of the hotel, they can’t do anything. We would have gone somewhere else as we wanted a hotel with a pool in Essex (being in Chelmsford was not essential for us).
Separately, breakfast food is good, but the service experience varies. First morning we had lovely service, but the second day we had a very rude server.

Excellent facilities, service, food and staff, the ridiculously hot weather was a problem in my upstairs even with windows open and fan maxed really could do with air con, also had a really noisy extract going on and off through the night. But think that was just this room dont stay in 69!
