The Essex Golf and Country Club

10/10 Excellent
"Really lovely stay. Friendly and professional at reception. Room for family for four was perfect. Facilities wise we went to the Strike Shack for the driving range and bought 50 balls to play around with which was really fun and also visited the pool twice during our stay. Great to have the family swim times as felt comfortable to be amongst other parents and young children in the pool. Overall a really lovely stay."
