    Room was very plain but adequate, bathroom a little tired but functional. Continental breakfast was excellent and good value. Very pleasant friendly staff. Good sized car park and only 3 minute walk to the station and a newsagent.

    Great location, within walking distance to town and beside the retail park. No problem locating the keys with the directions provided. Apartment was clean and very comfortable. The pictures don't do it justice. Host replied within minutes regarding heating. I stayed with my son while visiting family and will definitely rebook.

    Cannot fault the hotel although we only stayed one night as we were in Chelmsford for a funeral, the hotel was perfect close to the city. We often visit Braintree which requires an overnight stop in a Premier Inn (convenient to our friend who lives nearby.) In our future visits we think it will be worthwhile traveling extra distance to Ivy Hills Hotel for its extra excellent comfort and lovely breakfast which we thoroughly enjoyed.

    Very nice hotel, and we had a family buffet after a family funeral. They looked after us very well and the room was very nicely decorated and had a log fire so was very cosy.

    The facilities were amazing! It felt like a real home from home as a group of us stayed for the sad occasion of a family funeral. My 85 year old mother was delighted to have a beautiful room with en-suite and scented candles. It made losing her final sibling more bearable for her. Thank you so much!
