I used to live in Orsett and knew the old Orsett Hall. I like how the rebuild has remained faithful to the original. As the new hotel it is clean and reasonably comfortable, with nice sized rooms and two dining options. The grounds are nicely laid out and pleasant to walk in, and it is fairly quiet, except for when there’s a wedding, though the noise did not go on too late. It is unfortunate that the bath/shower combinations are so deep, as that makes it a little dangerous for the short and less mobile to get in and out. The pillows could be plumper. Also a more comfortable armchair and a mini fridge would have been nice in this four star hotel. However, I would still recommend it for a few days stay.
