Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

17 family members booked this hotel for January 2023 beginning of August. Yesterday a few got notifications of the booking being cancelled. My husband went to the hotel, the car park had about 20 young kids playing cricket and there were other people repairing push bikes etc. He asked about the cancellation and was told it was due to the hotel now having ‘Long term guests my husband said refuges then, judging by the car park ’. This was not denied by the receptionist. This would not be a problem to us albeit an inconvenience rebooking another hotel. The problem is when I phoned this morning and asked the receptionist, what I was told was far from truthful. She told me the bookings had been cancelled due to over running building work, when I mentioned the conversation my husband had the previous evening, she completely denied that they had long term guests and it was just because of the building work. I could clearly hear many people in the background, including a child crying loudly, when I enquired about this I was told what I could hear was her manager talking to the maintenance man, I asked if the maintenance man was a child, she completely denied there were any children , as she said ‘in her reception’. I said I know what a child crying sounds like and you clearly have a child in your reception. The receptionist continued to deny there was anyone staying at the hotel and it was and I quote ‘cancelled due to over running drilling works. With this level of lies, how can you trust this sort of hotel chain. Tell the truth for goodness sake, you may have something going on, we know you have bricks outside and a cover on the front of your building, but don’t blatantly lie to people. Do yourself a favour if you are looking to book the premier Inn is much cheaper and closer to town and at least you won’t be cancelled or lied too.

We paid nearl 160 for an executive room which consisted of a chair table and bed all well used. The bed had some sort of blankets on mattress darnt look. Two decorative pillows smelling of stale perfume causing me to itch because of my allergy. Just one biscuit with tea and coffee. On arrival we were told no bar open no restaraunt but they would supply glasses had to drive back into town to eat not what you want after working all day.the hotel looked like a cheap travel lodge 1970s not in the nicest of surroundings. Good choice for breakfast but it was cold. cold plate etc. the rooms surrounding us were noisy doors banging people visiting the rooms.this hotel cannot be classed as a starred hotel.don’t stay here use premier inn at a third of price clean comfy.£160 I feel I’ve been robbed

This hotel is full of families who have been evacuated from Afghanistan - I don't object to that but as such it is very noisy and full of young children running up and down the corridors until late at night, balls being bounced on the floor above etc. As a business traveller it is imposible to concentrate on work in an evening because of the noise. The reception staff are fabulous and are trying to sort things out.

The on-line check in was very simple, which made the check-in on arrival even more simple. The receptionist just handed me the room key and provided simple but accurate directions to my room. The room was as spacious as I had expected for the room I had chosen, and very clean, also as expected.

2 night stay here. Very clean, comfortable well equipped room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good cooked to order breakfast. Ideal location for visiting Chelmsford within 10 minutes walk of city centre and railway station. Only draw back was our room faced onto, but set back from, a main road. Noticeable, but not intrusive traffic noise during rush hours

We use this hotel every couple of weeks to escape the kids and animals on our farm for the odd night. Very comfortable hotel with easy going staff. Always professional and there is a nice feeling of privacy which we love. Will continue to use on a regular basis and highly recommend for couples, work trips or anything really. John & Nicky

Nice clean modern hall, lovely atrium modern lobby. Clean rooms - nice and cool in temperature not stuff and warm like many hotels. Huge beds. Friendly staff. At breakfast we were allocated a coffee table and soft chairs for our family of 6, so a little uncomfortable for the 2 elderly members to eat 9would have preferer to be seated at a table. But overall good experience - would def come back!

I recently got married at Newland Hall and needed a place that had parking not too far away. This checked alot of boxes and the rooms were also perfect for couples or newly weds. I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a nice hotel with parking that is not far away from Newland Hall!
