We held an event for 86 people in November in their Marquee which was a resounding success so we decided to go back there for another event for 34 people in their newly refurbished North Wing Restaurant. Absolutely perfection. Room layout first class. Staff, they couldn’t do enough for us. Not just on the day but on the build up. So accommodating. Thank you to Christina, Debra, Ben and Andy in particular however the rest of the staff were first class. As for the chef, wow everyone said how good the food was. Highly recommend going there. Can also say others who attended and never been there before said they will definitely return with their family and friends.

I held my Yoga Retreat Day at Downham Hall in February and it was the perfect day! From the setting, to the co-ordinating, the support and the gorgeous food - I could t fault it! Everyone who attended commented on what a gorgeous place it was. It’s so accessible yet it feels like you’ve escaped the busy life and found the most peaceful setting. Debra was so supportive and helpful from start to finish and I cannot wait to return soon for another retreat day. Thank you so much!! Jen - Mums’ Yoga Club

We were greeted at the front door and shown immediately to a lovely bright and sunny room. Our room overlooked the church and car park and to be honest, it was so quiet we didn't hear any cars. Breakfast was enjoyable, especially the coffee. There was a good breakfast menu choice and everything made to order.

I have worked my way through quite a number of hotels in this area over the past few months and this is definitely the best by a long shot. We stayed in a lovely room with beautiful views and everything you could need for a short stay. The restaurant food was excellent and they have a great staff team. I will be back!

A great place to celebrate my wife’s special birthday. We loved the setting and gardens, which had a wedding marquee, a great setting for weddings. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The bedroomed upstairs was really nice, well equipped, good shower and comfortable. The stairs up are manageable for slight mobility issues, but people on wheelchairs wouldn’t cope. Dinner was utterly superb in every way, and a nice traditional breakfast to send us on our way. Really close to all the south Essex towns, but you felt you were in a different rural world. It isn’t the cheapest place for a break, but you pay for and get the quality you want. Highly recommended for short breaks, and it is great to find somewhere this close and this good.

What a delightful, warm and friendly hotel, it’s small and cosy. Bedrooms are of a high standard, amazing power shower, comfortable beds to. Breakfast was of a high standard and Steve who served us was lovely and gave us the history of the hotel. The guy on reception, John I think) greeted me and took my luggage to my room. I would thoroughly recommend this beautiful, friendly little place

We recently had our wedding here at Downham Hall. It was the most incredible day, so well organised and the venue is utterly beautiful. Our wedding planner, Debra, was absolutely amazing from start to finish - professional, attentive and always there to answer any questions. She kept everything running smoothly, made us feel completely at ease, and ensured all we had to do was enjoy our special day. The food at Downham Hall is also amazing. We had so many compliments from our guests on how nice the food was. We also stayed over in the guest house and had breakfast which was great too. The rooms are super clean and great size. I would highly recommend Downham Hall for anything - weddings, overnight stays, meal out etc. Thank you Debra & team for the most incredible day and evening ❤️
