"Weve stayed at this lodge before and loved it so much we came back for another week. Its 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 wouldnt 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. Itd be good to have a second TV in a bedroom, especially with teenagers around!"

"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 wasnt warm enough initially and the mattresses, though a bit thin and springy, didnt stop us from sleeping soundly. Overall, a lovely stay!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
