"Clean, convenient"

"Lovely property, attentive staff Will stay again"

"I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. Great location with easy access to nearby attractions and halal restaurants. Highly recommended!"

"Beautiful chic hotel, staff was super friendly and me and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great location with easy to reach transport. Food was also great."

"There was a bit of mould on the grouting in the bathroom and some paint touch-up is required on the heating pipe in the bedroom area. The sash window and frame could do with some sprucing-up and aircon in the room is required. I understand that it is a period building, but I like modern conveniences too."

"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."

"We loved our stay! My spouse and I were initially unsure about the shared bathroom, but it turned out to be a non-issue. The grounds were delightful, and while the room was small, the design made it feel just right—cozy and well thought-out. Breakfast was a highlight: the morning walk to it added charm, and the meal itself brought real joy. The location was excellent—peaceful yet well-connected. I would absolutely recommend this place to friends visiting the area. Tip: Shop around for...
