Stayed here for a night when I had to stay in Chelmsford for work. It is very quiet and restful - a big comfortable bed with spotless linen, towels, robes, slippers etc. Flat screen tv, fridge and tea and coffee making facilities were all good and the bathroom was simply lovely with central large bath and views over surrounding golf...

I spent two nights here after my wedding in nearby Newland Hall. We stayed in the Honeymoon suite, which had a beautiful comfy bed and a stunning bathroom. It was very large, and felt very special. The only issue we had were the low beams, which had no warnings, and so my husband and I bumped our heads a fair... More

Four of us decided to meet up after 10 years apart. We came from opposite ends of the country to be together and we were given the opportunity to stay in the Cottage at Channels. It was perfect in every way. We were able to spend our precious time together in the most serene and beautiful setting. The Cottage decor,... More

We got married on Saturday 4 May 2013. We had a small informal reception for 10 people held in the "Trophy Room" The food was amazing. The staff couldn't be more helpful but were also not fussing so created a very relaxed atmosphere. When the families departed we retreated to the Hazel Suite - and wow! Huge room, huge bed,... More

Thank you for fantastic venue, rooms and staff. It is very difficult finding a suitable venue for our large group of family and friends. As you can imagine it was difficult to organise but with the amenable staff it was stress free. Thank you very much.

To hear nice things about the Lodge and its facilities is very encouraging but I was especially pleased that, due to our team, you had found that making arrangements for a large party had proved to be 'stress free' since this is always our aim. Simon Larner More
