B&B Downham Hall

We had a friend's birthday at the hotel and they did a truly fantastic job. Staff went well above and beyond. Room as very nice and comfortable. Breakfast was a joy.

We had a wedding there and we stayed in the hotel as well. I cannot praise the owner and staff enough. My daughter was made to feel very special by everyone. The food was great and the outside activities were very well appreciated as they kept the kids entertained whilst the wedding photographs were undertaken. The accomodation was clean and very comfy. The breakfast was tasty and the staff couldn't do enough for you. If you were looking for a venue (wedding, birthday bash etc.), look no further.

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.
