Top Stow Maries Hotel Reviews

The Essex Golf and Country Club

The Essex Golf and Country Club

8/10 Good
"The hotel was lovely, and the swimming pools amazing! The staff were lovely and friendly and really helpful. However, the rooms do not have air conditioning and become very hot when you can only open a small window. They did supply a fan, but it was still very hot. Breakfast really wasn't very good. The two nights we were their the breakfast was stone cold one day and luke warm the next, and the scrambled egg was like rubber! Other than the food the room was lovely and as the say the swimming pools were brilliant, they just need to improve the food, and maybe put a fridge in the rooms. Would have been helpful to keep some milk in their for my young son."

"I felt that this motel-style property offered good value for money at this price. The room and bathroom were clean and provided usual facilities for this class of accommodation. There was a choice of full English cooked breakfast or continental style, and evening meals were available at reasonable prices. There seemed to be plenty of parking spaces, and parking is free provided that details are registered at check-in."

8/10 Good
"The hotel was spotless, the reception staff especially Alice (hopefully that's correct) were amazing, as were the rest of the staff we encountered. Breakfast was great and fresh and the cooked options were not greasy as we find quite often in other hotels. The room was great, quiet and clean. We would have given 5 stars but unfortunately even though everything else about this hotel was perfect, the bed and the pillows made for an uncomfortable sleep, the pillows felt like they were full of small pieces of foam and the mattress wasn't much better."

"We absolutely loved our stay at the Honey Pod. Communication and instructions before arrival were wonderful and made everything so easy. The space itself is compact but has everything you need — a cozy kitchen/lounge area, comfortable bedroom, and clean bathroom. The wood burner hot tub in the garden was such a treat, perfect for relaxing under the stars. It’s beautifully secluded and feels like you’re tucked away in the middle of nowhere — peaceful, quiet, and magical. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and escape! "
