A vibrant and friendly English pub with rooms that was very welcoming with delicious food and drink and has won many awards for its cask ales and cider. Perfect location for our visit near Chelmsford being in the countryside and only 11 miles from Stansted airport, it may be remote for some but is so much better than the usual bland corporate hotels and a rare find nowadays.

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 room was beautifully decorated and clean. The rooms are above the pub but it wasn't noisy, and the pub closed at 11pm anyway. The pub was a great friendly, lively place and the food there was good pub grub. We had a nice evening in the pub, had dinner, and then just sat and enjoyed the atmosphere before going back to our room. There's a separate external entrance to the rooms, so you don't have to go through the pub to get to them. It's only a 5-10 minute walk from the centre of Chelmsford, so its a great location.

Lovely Hotel in such a tranquil setting, yet only 10 minutes to centre of Chelmsford Special mention to the exceptionally helpful lady on reception who guided us in when the sat nav had taken us 12 miles in the opposite direction and then really went the extra mile in securing a taxi to take us to the nearby Galvin Green Man at very short notice The breakfast, which was included in the price, was also excellent On-site parking is plentiful and free

We found the property to be on a nice road and in a great location for easily getting to Chelmsford & Braintree and the A12 / A120. The house is very cosy whilst at the same time giving my family plenty of space to spread out. Lovely modern kitchen. Good sized garden would be nice to use in the summer. The owners are very friendly and only too happy to help (even on Xmas Eve!).
