Great service, lovely food.. Although some of our group said the potatoes were a little hard and the lamb starter was very unusual. On the whole though we loved the food. The DJ was disappointing however, as in 2019 when we last went as a works Christmas party, it was a great DJ set with us all on the dancefloor all evening, such a shame. Karen x

Just shy of £400 for a superior family room for 2 nights (3 of us). Great breakfast and good standard of accommodation. I am afraid that’s where it ends.
Our ‘superior family room’ booked three months in advanced sat right next to a wedding marquee playing loud music into the night. If that was not enough our bed linen and dirty towels were not changed on our return. When I complained I was informed of a small sign on reception explaining housekeeping was on request owing to Covid! I should have read it! Perhaps I should have but come on, perhaps you should have also told me when we checked

Portlands hosted our wedding, and they gave us the day we absolutely hoped for. They were professional and friendly from day one, and handled our unfortunate postponing of the wedding day without fuss.
The hotel and the grounds are beautiful and made for absolutely fantastic photos. The staff ensured the day ran smoothly and we are very very happy with how everything turned out. Thank you all so much.

Staff were all friendly and the meals were prepared and served in good fashion. Taking your order and bringing them to your table with a small buffet for extra items you may want.
Swimming pools x2 could hold 3 ppl well for swimming and the jacuzzi was comfy.
We had an issue with a noisy room next door but when we rang reception they dealt with it swiftly, simply amazing.
Beautiful environment and facilities.

Lovely hotel set in the countryside outside of Chelmsford. Staff are really courteous and friendly, going above and beyond on helping out with special requests.
The rooms are really spacious and well appointed. There are also 2 rooms with interconnecting doors allowing larger families to sleep in comfort.

Secluded location, yet not far from the A12 and therefore good road links to London and East Anglia. Handsome building with very friendly and attentive staff. Met up with family for a meal. Food was very good. I couldn't fault my herb crusted lamb; it was tender and cooked perfectly. FYI Covid safe measures in place and felt very safe. Definitely have it in mind to visit again.
