Visitor Reviews of The Essex Golf and Country Club

Alexandra

Date of stay: 16th November 2024

We’ve stayed at this lodge before and loved it so much we came back for another week. It’s super relaxing, surrounded by peaceful scenery and perfect for taking the dog out. The facilities are really handy too - free access to the pool, gym and steam room, which we made good use of. The lodge itself is roomy enough for four adults and the kitchen is pretty well stocked, though a bigger fridge and more cutlery wouldn’t go amiss. When we arrived, the shower gel was empty, but housekeeping sorted it out quickly and even left a couple of extra towels when we asked. Last time, there was a lovely dog basket with treats and toys, but this time it was missing. Also, apparently, the salt & pepper grinders are just decorative! Still, we had a fantastic stay and already plan to come back again.

The lodges are quite nice, but the toilet paper is really flimsy and cheap. It’d be good to have a second TV in a bedroom, especially with teenagers around!

Mark

Date of stay: 19th October 2024

Overall, we had a decent stay. The chalet was nicely equipped, though the main heating was a bit underwhelming, only coming on briefly. The electric fire helped keep things cosy and the jacuzzi was a real highlight! Oddly, there was no welcome pack for our dog, which was a bit of a letdown.

Emma Roberts

We really enjoyed our stay at Chappell Lodge. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help. The place was spotless and had all the essentials. The hot tub was a real highlight! Would’ve loved a mirror in each single room, maybe a small TV too, but overall, great!

Emma Harper

Date of stay: 31st March 2024

We had a lovely time staying in the luxury lodge with our kids. The staff were really helpful throughout and we appreciated how the hot tub was checked and maintained every day. The location was peaceful, with beautiful views of the golf course. The lodge was spacious and spotlessly clean, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’d definitely come back!

Emma Roberts

Date of stay: 25th March 2024

Really loved the lodge, both inside and out, top quality stay!

Mark

Date of stay: 20th March 2024

Great stay, would definitely come back!

Charlie

Date of stay: 17th March 2024

Honestly, we expected a bit more from this place, but it was quite disappointing. There was mould on the wall and ceiling in one of the bedrooms, which is just not acceptable. The carpets were stained and looked neglected, with some loose patches and sharp tacks poking through. The hot tub cover was not attached properly, making it a pain to open. The whole place felt tired and pretty grubby overall. We couldn’t believe they call themselves “luxury lodges” - these are basic amenities that should be sorted out by the cleaners or management. The setting is a bit strange, too, as it looks like you're entering an industrial estate, which isn’t ideal. The reception staff tried to help, but the GM, Barry, brushed off the issues like they were no big deal - especially when you’re paying over £100 a night. They did eventually fix some things, but the whole experience left us with a sour taste. We’ve stayed in many lodges across the country and honestly, this was one of the worst value for money. Quite surprised by the glowing reviews, to be honest. Wouldn’t stay again, that’s for sure.

Absolutely loved it, highly recommend!

Emma

We felt pretty let down because we paid for the hot tub, only to find out it was faulty and unusable. The staff knew about the issue beforeh and, which was disappointing. Not great value for money at all.

We had a fantastic weekend celebrating my birthday with the family. The lodge was spotless, cosy and just what we needed. We’ll be back soon!

Emily

Date of stay: 4th January 2024

We had a really nice New Year’s break here. The place was super cosy and spacious and it stayed warm even in the cold. Our 8-year-old absolutely loved the swimming pool and the hot tub - kept her entertained for ages! The staff were all lovely and friendly. Can’t wait to come back in summer and explore more around the area. Thanks for a great stay!

Sarah

This spot is perfect for unwinding with family, really helps us connect and enjoy quality time together.

Really enjoyed the peaceful vibe

Emma, Chingford

We had a really lovely time staying here. The lodge was fantastic, with excellent facilities all around. The hot tub was a real highlight! Felt completely safe and secure during our stay. Definitely planning to come back soon!!

Emma, Eastbourne

We had a lovely stay at the lodge. The place felt really modern and had everything we could possibly need. The views were stunning, lots of windows for natural light and the hot tub on the deck was a highlight-used it every day! Definitely recommend it to others!

Emma, Rainham

We had such a lovely stay here! The lodge itself is stunning and super cosy and the hot tub really made our trip special. We loved how private it was, tucked away in a quiet spot and accessible from both bathrooms - perfect for relaxing. The peaceful surroundings made it even better. We’re definitely keen to return sometime. A couple of tiny niggles though - check-in at 5pm feels a bit late and check-out at 9am is a tad early, so maybe extending those hours would help. Oh and a couple of sun loungers on the decking would be a great addition, especially if the weather’s nice. All in all, a really nice place!

Emma, Kings Lynn Norfolk

We just got back from a fantastic weekend at the new lodges and already want to come back! The staff were super friendly and helpful and the lodge was spotless when we arrived. Thanks for a lovely, relaxing escape - we’ll definitely re-book!

Emily, Heathfield

We really enjoyed our stay here, despite the late check-in and early check-out times. It’s a bit of a shame that you can’t access the lodge until 5pm and need to leave by 9am, which cuts the trip short. The lodge itself is stunning inside and has everything you could need. Plus, the peaceful setting overlooking the golf course is just lovely. Overall, a relaxing place, just wish the check-in/out times were a bit more flexible!

Mark, Spilsby

Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was beautifully furnished and super cosy. Would definitely come back again!

Emily Carter, Basildon

We had a great stay at Stisted Lodge! The place was spotless and looked pretty new, which was lovely. The hot tub was definitely a highlight, we used it twice daily. The only thing that was a bit of a pain was the check-in and check-out times - kinda cut our holiday short, which was a shame.

Emily, Harlow

We had a fantastic stay at the lodge! The place looked modern and super welcoming. The hot tub was just the right size for all five of us to relax comfortably. The staff were really friendly and went out of their way to help us with everything. The only minor issues were some stains on the sofas, which we figured were from wet bottoms after using the hot tub and the mattresses could do with being a bit thicker. Also, having a mirror in each bedroom would be handy. Still, we loved it and would definitely return!

Emma, Lowestoft

We loved the Stisted lodge! It was spotless and surprisingly roomy, with lots of comfy seating. The hot tub was perfect for unwinding after a long day. Only downside was the bed-awful sleep-so we ended up on the sofa instead. Still, we’ll be back!

Alexandra, Gb

We were looking for a nice getaway and decided to try out Stisted Lodge for a week. Honestly, it was a great choice. The place felt really homely and was surprisingly spacious, which was perfect for our family of four. We loved how well equipped everything was - made cooking and relaxing super easy. The TV setup with Netflix and Disney+ was a real bonus, especially for the kids. The hot tub was a nice treat after a long day and we made the most of the swimming pool and gym too, which made our stay even better. The showers weren't the most powerful and didn’t get super hot, but honestly, that’s a minor quibble. The only thing that was slightly annoying was the way to get to the club - you can't access it from the rear, so you have to walk all the way around, which is a bit of a trek, especially with young kids. Still, it’s not a huge deal, just a slight inconvenience. Overall, we had a lovely time and definitely plan to come back sometime soon. It’s a peaceful spot, great for a family escape and we left feeling really relaxed. Would recommend to anyone looking for a comfy break away from the hustle!

Oliver, Ipswich

Chappel Lodge really impressed us - spacious, spotless and super comfy. The modern design is quite stylish too. The hot tub was a highlight, even if it wasn’t warm enough initially and the mattresses, though a bit thin and springy, didn’t stop us from sleeping soundly. Overall, a lovely stay!

Emily, Benfleet

The lodge was stunning and had everything we needed. The mattress was firm, but manageable. Hot tub was a bit tricky to turn off sometimes, but overall, a lovely stay!

Nicola

Lovely surroundings around the lodge and really lovely lodge with perfect accommodation for all. Good decor and furniture. Fabulous decking with a huge hot tub. Thanks so much

Charlotte

Great lodge, clean and tidy and have everything we needed there. The country club was nice, we had breakfast there one day which was nice. I was let down by the spa as I asked if there was disabled changing facilities for myself (a disabled adult) but they said they weren't sure. There wasn't any and the ladies changing room had a step to the showers which isn't very accessible. I also wanted to book a beauty treatment and was told to email them. I tried calling worried they wouldn't get the email the same day. The phone rang to voicemail and I left my details. No one has ever rung me back.

Kimberly

Myself and friends had a great time. We were there for the weekend and it was perfect

Fiona

We have just returned home from 2 wonderful weeks staying in Chappel Lodge 2. The accommodation was superb and had everything you could need. The staff were fantastic, so friendly and helpful. We were sad to leave. Would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future. Thank you to all at The Essex Golf and Country Club.

The location is peaceful and clean environment.It is a very peaceful environment for family bonding. The receptionist were friendly and helpful. Gym is well equipped, I just love this place and can't fault it in anyway. There are other facilities on site which are lovely. I highly recommend it and will visit with my family again.

Aimee

We had the best time at Chappel lodge. The lodge is beautiful, plenty of space and full equipped for everything we needed. Hot tub was lush. Only downside we found were the mattresses being very thin and springy. Over all we had an amazing time away and will definitely be back again very soon. Staff were very helpful and Hana at the aura spa deserves a special mention. Best massage I’ve ever had.

Leanne

Very clean and modern accommodation with everything you need for short stay.

Karen

A great venue, with many activities and close to a number of off site amenities. The Hot tub was disappointing, although it was sparklingly clean & operated well, access/exit was difficult due to insufficient space between the glass privacy panel & the outer edge of the tub especially as 1st step down was located in centre. There were no handrails nor indication that the glass panel could or should be utilised. Consequently, my wife was unable use the tub at all.
