8/10 Good
"This was my fourth or fifth stay here, and once again, I had a very positive experience. The staff are always incredibly helpful, accommodating, and willing to go above and beyond to meet my requests and expectations. The location is also very convenient, particularly for commuting to Cambridge. The consistently good service is one of the main reasons I keep coming back. I would happily stay again."

The Essex Golf and Country Club

10/10 Excellent
"The venue was spacious and tidy, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. My first impressions were great and the room was faultless - big, comfy, great level of amenities. Pool was free to use as a overnight guest (family swim until 6pm). Good enough location with the nearest 2 towns about 18 minutes away (Braintree or Colchester). You have converted a repeat customer in me for sure"

Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is an excellent choice for families. The rooms are spacious, the staff consistently polite, and the food quality is outstanding. The leisure facilities — including the swimming pool, sauna, and jacuzzi — are well maintained and very enjoyable. As a family travelling with an autistic 9‑year‑old, we found the environment exceptionally calming. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and the staff were extremely understanding, thoughtfully seating us in a quiet area to ensure a comfortable experience. We had a genuinely positive stay and would happily return."
