Checking In: The Roslin Beach Hotel, Essex
An insight to our magical overnight stay at the stunning Roslin Beach Hotel in Essex!
Where? The Roslin Beach Hotel,
Thorpe Esplanade, Thorpe Bay, Essex SS1 3BG
A few weeks back I took my best friend and checked into the Roslin Beach Hotel in Thorpe Bay, Essex for the night!
Now, I'll start buy saying I'm no stranger to the Roslin, it's less than 15 minutes from where I live and whilst this was the first time that I'd ever stayed at the hotel, I have been there several times for afternoon tea / spa days for birthday or special occasions!
Near me, it's by far the most beautiful hotel (that I know of in Essex anyway!), so it's a great place to visit for a treat! But, what really was a treat, was spending my first night at the hotel! I took my bestie along for a girls night, here's how we got on!...

Arrival and our room...
I was so excited to check in and see our room as I'd never had the pleasure of staying at the Roslin before, safe to say I wasn't disappointed - it was BEAUTIFUL! From the hugeeeee bed, rain shower and balcony overlooking the sea, we were totally spoilt!
I love how the hotel has an ocean theme / colour scheme running throughout, there's something so calming and welcoming about the decor (especially the spa room, it's stunning!).
Once we'd checked in, we changed straight into our PJs, opening some prosecco and gossiped whilst we showered and got ready for our dinner downstairs, the room was so relaxing and the perfect location for a girls night!
The Spa...
I was kindly booked in for a back, neck and shoulder massage at the Roslin Retreat, and I have to say it was bloody lovely - so, so relaxing! I've had a couple of massages at the Roslin before and love the spa there - it's definitely my go-to local for spa treatments!
I adore the waiting room, full of plush velvet sofas, coffee table books and magazines, relaxing classical music and a coffee machine - it really is the perfect place to unwind both before and after your massage!
During my massage ELEMIS products were used which left my skin feeling so nourished, and smelling DIVINE!

The food: Horto restaurant
During the evening we were fortunate to dine at Horto (latin for kitchen garden); the hotels 3 AA rosettes restaurant.
"The menu is dictated by nature, the skill of the Gardener and the flair of the Chef"
We opted for the 7 course taster menu, advised by our waiter to get a true feel of what the restaurant had to offer, accompanied with a four course wine pairing - it was absolutely delicious! Yet another part of the hotel that blew us away, the food was a culinary delight and the restaurant had a luxe, yet relaxed feel which I really enjoyed!
The incredible breakfast spread in the morning!
The hotel...
Located on the seafront in Thorpe Bay, the Roslin really is a picture-perfect hotel, overlooking the sea (what a view to wake up to in the summer!). We visited in December so the hotel was in full swing with it's Christmas decorations, and I have to say they were some of the best decorations I've ever laid eyes on - our visit had me feeling SO festive!
