The Perfect Couples Getaway
Reviewed By Matthew JMy partner and I have needed to get away for some time and a stay at Channels Lodge was the perfect way for us to relax and recharge. The room was great with a lovely big bed as well as large screen tv with the ability to cast and free wifi. Complimentary tea/coffee and continental breakfast as well as an in room fridge. The best part though was the bathroom. The room had a lovely large tub and a great shower. When we weren't relaxing in the room or enjoying some lovely walks in some gorgeous local country parks etc we had a fabulous meal in the Channels Brasserie. I highly recommend this venue.

Our self-contained, purpose-built annexe houses six beautifully furnished and contemporary styled bedrooms, each with their own en-suite facilities and brand new king-sized beds, all with the flexibility to be reconfigured as twins to suit. Located discretely behind the Inn and designed to fit into the rural landscape, all our rooms have country views, some facing east over neighbouring farmland whilst others look out over our lovely garden. All rooms are bookable on a bed and breakfast basis, with the option to book a table in the Inn for lunch or an evening meal.

With free parking, electric vehicle charging points, and free Wi-Fi, there’s every reason to kick-back and relax.
Wonderful stay - you won’t be disappointed
Reviewed By Traveller632015Lovely pub, fabulously friendly staff, gorgeous rooms, spotlessly clean and very comfy. Food was amazing, had the Jubilee menu which was great value and so tasty - pork belly mains and seabream were so tasty, as were the other 2 courses. Breakfast was great quality, well presented and served by a lady with fabulous customer service, nothing was too much trouble. Loved this place & will definitely be returning. The staff were the nicest we’ve encountered for a long time - really doing a great job guys.

The photo is deceptive!
Reviewed By BanupaHaving decided The Oakland was the most convenient for Stow Maries airfield, where I intended to visit for an air show, I had a look at their website (should have looked on Tripadvisor...) and thought it looked an established hotel perhap in an older part of town, but no. It's right in the centre of town. Access was limited to the front of the hotel by numerous double yellow lines, which seem to have been largely ignored. I eventually parked in the town square, which seemed strangely empty. The girl on reception, oh hold on, she wasn't on reception, she was serving behind the bar to what looked like hardened drinkers. Anyway she did sort out a key for a room on the first floor and assured me the car would be OK parked on the square. Once in the room, which was OK, I read through the information file which stated there was a small hotel car park to the rear. Having noted there was a chain and lock on the entrance to the Square car park I decided to seek out the official car park. I discovered it was in fact 3 spaces next to the rear of an Indian restaurant and someone had abandoned a van on the rear access, however, there was another entrance through an archway between the hotel and restaurant, just where a Transit had be parked on the double yellows! After going out for a meal, the Transit had gone so I sped around to use the hotel's car park. For my aging Jag, it was a snug fit to get through the arch between the hotel and restaurant but carefully avoiding the myriad of rubbish bins I managed to park up, at least knowing I wouldn't be fined and locked in the other parking area! On the hotel website it said there would be live music on the night I was staying, so headed for the bar to find it crammed with soccer fans watching and cheering a TV screen. No sign of the live music... that was until I had gone to bed to the noise of now very relaxed soccer fans below. The noise ceased! Excellent, sleepy time! Ummm no, that was the time the live entertainment was setting up and so at 10.30pm the noise, much louder than the TV, started. All the 60's & 70's favourites were performed without much regard to the original melody or singers. It did finish at 12.30, but the bar across the Square continued with music, admittedly at a slightly lower volume. Pillow firmly over head, I finally drifted off. Deprived of my usual hours of sleep I failed to wake up to enjoy the breakfast.

Mixed bag, mainly good
Reviewed By Dave MInstructions involving codes for gate and doors, plus an online registration form, made a daunting introduction. I made a phone call before travelling, to find exactly where to park. In the end, it proved easy. Parking was in a marked area at the rear of the nursery next door, and the various doors were no problem. The old house was a delight, though not quite so good inside. I was allocated a large single room, poorly furnished and decorated, but well stocked with proper coffee and a 'French press' maker. I could have done without the message that I would be prosecuted if I vandalised the place; I didn't. and I wouldn't have, anyway. My biggest complaint was the bed - horrible soft, squidgy mattress, scratchy linen. I think they may have changed it, following my moan, but I wasn't sure! Apart from that, all was good. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful, and served in a fine room. More excellent coffee. The shared bathroom proved no problem at all, and I had a pleasant stay. I was there to watch a cricket match in nearby Chelmsford, and transport links were excellent. It was also walkable, for someone fitter than me. Great Baddow itself is very pleasant. The bottom line is that I would happily stay here again.
