Location for us was great having flown from France into Stansted airport. Staff from reception check in to the bar staff and restaurant staff were all first class. A special mention to Lauren who served us breakfast with a smile and also worked extremely hard at the celebration of life function that we were attending. We will definately stay again.

I recently stayed in Chelmsford, Essex, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcome, and their local recommendations were spot on. The location was perfect—close to great restaurants, lovely parks, and easy transport links. I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and attention to detail throughout the property. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Chelmsford, whether for business or leisure. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Interesting town with a lot of history to it.

Interesting town with a lot of history to it. A plethora of eateries, shops galore, all within a walkable distance in the centre. Driving around town can be a bit challenging because of the road layout, avoid the rush hour if you can. Excellent train connection into London.

Chelmsford is a very pretty place .

Chelmsford is a very pretty place . The people are so friendly but unfortunately I cannot walk long distances so I could not get to see it all . But we'll worth a visit. We had breakfast in the Range shop which was quite nice. Plenty of places to eat. ...there is street food also like paella...beautiful arrangements of home made breads The shops are so many you would need a day to see it all. There are a row of markets do there is plenty to see.

Chelmsford is an amazing location that offers a huge array of options on a trip! The area has a vast variety of restaurants and shopping to suit all tastes and pockets!! The area itself has fabulous views and alot of activities to attend ie water sports/ice skating/ Everyman cinema with couch & food service! Street food vendors & markets all part of the experience and the aromas from all the doorways of restaurants will have your mouth watering! Some of the restaurants we went to whilst visiting “Ask Italian”, “Wingstop”, “Mowgli” “Pret à Manger” next visit will hopefully include “Giggling squid” & “Las iguanas” as they looked amazing but booked out when we were there!!

My first visit in over 25 years to the town.

My first visit in over 25 years to the town. It was to work on the Chelmsford Beer Festival, held annually in Admirals Park https://cbcf.camra.org.uk/viewnode.php?id=178936 , so my exploration of the town itself was limited. I noticed a lot of fast food outlets, which was a change, along with a ring road that seems to cut the centre off. There had been a lot of re-building .... I will be back, to explore further, if only to explore some of the recommended pubs https://www1.camra.org.uk/pubs/place/chelmsford-3588?sort=nearest

Chelmsford has good shops and restaurants. When we travel down by train we have easy access around places using the bus service. Train and bus stations or taxis are easy to get to. One of our favorite places to eat was the indian restaurant in Moulsham street.

The hotel was in a very good place in Chelmsford. Very close to main bus and railway station. No noise from other guests. Desk clerk was very friendly and restaurant was nice with great food and professional service. Hotel room was equipped with tea and coffee making facilities. Nice clean sheets and very hot water in bathroom. Shower was very nice and bath too. Complementary essentials. White fluffy towels. I will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic hotel. We love staying here. The facilities are great and the people are really friendly and helpful. It is most definitely one of our favourite places to stay in a lovely location and we always feel relaxed as soon as we arrive. Can definitely recommend the pool and outdoor jacuzzi. Easily reached from the A12 but is set in lovely countryside and is very peaceful and relaxing. It’s also just a 2.5k walk into Chelmsford.
