Lovely clean hotel, a bunch of us from all over Europe stayed here for a wedding. Public areas are lovely, and the room was a decent size, even for the three of us. The full English breakfast was superb.

On 25th April 13, we had our wedding at Ivy Hill. Its an amazing venue, with beautiful grounds, the day was everything we'd hoped for and more. They have a fantastic team, who couldn't do enough for you. The day ran like clockwork, everything was organised to perfection. The food was great, and all came out at the same time,... More

We booked our wedding at this hotel. This special day was made out of this world with the help of Aileen and her team. The day run so smoothly from Checking in, Wedding service, Photos, Wedding breakfast, Evening reception, Breakfast the following morning and Checking out. We would recommend any one to have a wedding at this hotel.

Lovely decor in the hotel and bedrooms and nice to have a fresh cooked to order breakfast in the morning. Good for the Essex road network, I was there for business and the free wifi was a bonus. Beds comfy, only down side was noise of other guests banging doors late at night going to bed.

Stayed at the hotel on a couple of occasions, business trips....the hotel is very clean, with very nicely decorated large rooms and fittings. The staff are freindly and very formal, the hotel being more focused towards business customers. The location is discreet and easy to find (just off J M25).
