Highly recommend

Superb short break
Calm and peaceful atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff

Wonderful retreat in peaceful Essex countryside.

My first visit to Down Hall was arranged by my 3 lovely sons(and their families) to celebrate my 70th birthday. We had a great stay in beautiful rooms and enjoyed the delicious food in the gourmet restaurant served by the most welcoming, professional and attentive staff, nothing was a trouble to them. That was six years ago. Since then my sister and I have stayed at Down Hall several times and have found the same welcome, high standards and professionalism from all members of staff. It is a beautiful place, both inside and out offering peaceful woodland walks in the vast grounds. It has become our go to place for relaxation and unwinding.

Thank you to all at Down Hall

Perfect Birthday Treat

We enjoyed a most relaxing and special weekend at Down Hall. From start to finish everything was perfect. The staff are all welcoming and helpful, the room was lovely and clean, the food was delicious and the grounds were breathtaking.

Relaxing

Great hotel and grounds

Two-night post-wedding break

We had a fabulous and relaxing time during this two-night break, which was a wedding gift from friends. We enjoyed the grounds and spa facilities.

Superb

Recently stayed at the hotel with friends and family to celebrate a big birthday. Our stay was truly amazing and 5 star service by all the staff.

Excellent

Lovely Hotel is undergoing renovations which did not make any difference to our stay and are really overdue..I hope the bar is next on the to do list as it is not very welcoming.. However DH is our favourite break away venue..

Recent stay at Down Hall

We had a lovely weekend once again at Down Hall. However there were just a few things that could be improved at the hotel. Our room was very cold. It is their policy to leave it to the guests, but the heating needs to be put on before guests arrive. We requested twin beds but this had not been made up. It was soon rectified however.
We could not fault the Offpeak luxury service.
