I wanted to love it
We wanted to love this place ,particularly as it is a local establishment with a
recent commendation from the AA. The food was wonderful Our waitress was
wonderful , very attentive and hard working managing most of the covers alone.
But the place overall lacked finesse . Upon arrival we walked through a smoke
den , five ladies all having a cigarette at the main entrance. We were quickly
ushered to our table by front of house who then took herself off outside for a
vape, in front of the conservatory Eventually we received a drink but that was
after we were informed there was likely to be a delay with food today during to
an event on site. The rooms were very tired in part , and nowhere to have a pre
dinner drink , no post dinner coffee etc. There was a wedding or similar on site
that seemed to have taken over all areas. Perhaps we experienced it on the wrong
day which is unfortunate, we were expecting something similar to Babbington ,
the Pig , Talboth etc but unfortunately not.

Just lovely....
In Essex due to family matters, we wanted to stay overnight in something other
than the usual chains so chose Downham Hall. What a good choice that was - it is
a lovely place, and the wow factor of the interior is matched by the exterior
setting. Our room was comfortable, light, and airy with a good view onto fields,
and our evening meal was very good. The hotel staff are a delightful crew and
everyone was helpful, friendly (no one was too rushed to chat!) and highly
efficient. This last point was proved beyond doubt when an totally unexpected
and unwanted plumbing issue in our room arose before breakfast - this is when
any business proves its worth by doing the right thing when a major snag arises,
and Downham Hall did just that! Action was swift and apologies were made
including a complimentary breakfast. We really appreciated their concern and
good practice. Thanks to all at DH - hope to see you again!

Wedding Day at Downham Hall
We held our wedding ceremony & reception at Downham Hall at the end of June and
the team there really helped to make the day special for us! The venue itself is
stunning and has the loveliest of views all around. The food was amazing and we
had so many compliments from guests - we’ve had people still mentioning the
quality of the food weeks later! Debra, Christina, Ben, Andy & the rest of the
team really were wonderful in the lead up to & on the day. We’re so grateful for
all of their help! We had multiple guests describe it as the ‘perfect wedding
venue’ and we couldn’t agree more. Thank you for helping to make our wedding day
unforgettable!

Stunning find in the Essex countryside with amazing views and exceptional
service
Stunning hotel set in the Essex countryside. Room, food, service were all
exceptional. Outdoors and Orangery were also of a high standard for breakfast
and pre and after dinner drinks. The service from everyone from the moment we
arrived to departure could not be faulted. In fact they went above and beyond.
Would highly recommend with great walks around Downham village.

Disappointed
Food excellent but cost was far too much for a Sunday lunch especially as people
were in shorts and jeans. Let the place down. Should be a dress code for
evenings and Sundays very disappointed. First time we had been even though we
live close..

Perfect for Afternoon tea and a catch up with friends.
We went for afternoon tea and had a very nice table with a nice view. The
service was good and the tea was just as you would expect. The sandwiches were
tasty and the scones were very nice. I’m not a fan of the little cakes at all
but I think it was just me so don’t be put off by that. We hope to go back for
Sunday lunch very soon.
