Overall, I really appreciated my stay at Orsett Hall Hotel.I was in the Sartoria building above the cafe - which meant that I wasn’t disturbed by any wedding events. There was a bit of a distance between my room and the car park so I made several trips to move my stuff up to where I needed.
The room was very good - clean and with one or two nice touches, the bed was clean and good, there was a nice TV with Netflix, and a nicely fitted bathroom.
Upon reading the ‘Guest Welcome Info’ it became clear that the estate has a great 300 year local Orsett village heritage, which includes accommodating King George VI and Elizabeth (the late Queen’s) Mother.
The grumbles - the skylight in my room, intended to offer choices for daylight and ventilation was damaged and allowed some cold air and traffic noise in to the room at night while you were sleeping. I did tell reception and members of staff but it was never sorted out. Also the motion-activated lights in the bathroom tended to plunge the guest in to darkness when you didn’t need it to….as I mentioned - minor things only.
Would I stay again in future? Yes, definitely. The staff overall were nice, the grounds and Hotel itself are amazing, and safely surveilled, a
