May 2025We went for my step Mum’s 85th birthday, it was presented at a lovely pace, the chairs were comfortable and she was happy to receive plenty of tea, she came away with a goodie bag as she could not finish everything that was placed on the table. In her words a very memorable moment! Thank you xx

April 2025We stayed here twice a while ago, firstly when we were making my mums house ready after a stay in hospital and secondly after she died. We had to drive up from Cornwall and then deal with tons of life's detritus, both times during a heatwave. We were wrecked by they time we pulled into the beautiful carpark, two filthy dirty, sweaty, and exhausted people tottered into reception. The people there couldn't have been nicer, they were lovely. Our rooms both times were gorgeous, I never wanted to leave. After a super, much needed, shower we headed for the more casual restaurant. The food and drinks were first class, even though we were not in Essex to enjoy ourselves the visits to Pontlands were like mini holidays, I loved the place! In my opinion it deserves more than 3 stars, I'd give it 5.
Customer Service
May 2025The staff really elevate an already amazing venue to being exceptional. 3 separate colleagues all did something to make our stay more enjoyable. Firstly, they had our room ready early, which meant we could get an early shower after a jog. Secondly, they allowed me to order food after the kitchen closed in anticipation for us arriving back slightly after closing time due to a taxi being delayed. Thirdly, the lounge colleagues asked if the table adjacent were being too loud (having a few drinks), which we thought was extremely thoughtful - even if we didn’t mind them having a wild night. Well done! 5/5
