The Essex Resort & Spa

We had an incredible stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtful and welcoming — not just for us, but for our dog too. There was a doggy bowl filled with treats in the lobby that our pup couldn’t resist every time we walked by. It was such a sweet touch! The on-site restaurant had a gorgeous outdoor patio — perfect for relaxing in the evening. The food was absolutely delicious, with great service and a peaceful atmosphere. We also made time to enjoy the spa, which was beautiful and spotless. The steam room and sauna were exactly what we needed to unwind. The location was another big plus: close to scenic parks and perfect for morning walks with the dog. Everything about this stay felt elevated and easy. Highly recommend — especially if you’re traveling with a furry companion!

Business took me to this location. Avery in the restaurant was amazing. She was attentive, sweet and everything you want in the service industry. Checked back often to ensure that my meal was all that I wanted and I had all the coffee that I needed. Rooms were clean organized and quiet. All that you need, when you want a great night of rest and relaxation.

Had a wedding block here - very convenient location for us and our wedding party. Amenities were nice, staff was very friendly. The lazy goat tavern was a great option as a meeting place for our party. We had a suite in the manor and were a bit disappointed with some cosmetic damage we noticed in our room, especially the bathroom. A friend told me the rooms in the manor are a bit out dated so aim for a room in the main building if you’re planning a stay here.
