Lovely grounds nice relaxed feel. If you like to use a gym, don't stay here, only because there isn't really a gym. Nice little swimming pool, sauna and steam room. You can order food on poolside and jacuzzi inside and outside, also outside pool. Loved it, just what we needed. Food was lovely too, breakfast was so good.

Channels Hotel, hotel in Chelmsford

Dating back to the 15th century, this Tudor house and converted stable block is set in the grounds of Channels Estate.

Loved the privacy of the rooms, all well thought out. My one gripe is when hotels do not have mirrors in front of dressing tables. This was obviously designed by a woman as not only did it have a large well lit mirror but plug points with easy access!! Well done! Bathroom was really spacious. We had a lovely stay and will definitely stay again.

Parkway House, hotel in Chelmsford

Parkway House is situated in Chelmsford, less than 1 km from Chelmsford Train Station, 8.1 km from Hylands Park, and 24 km from Freeport Braintree.

There was nothing to like, I wasn't given the password, I arrived and stayed outside for more than half an hour, he asked me for my Edi as soon as I gave him my Ed, he saw that I was Brazilian, he already said that I I couldn't receive men and he didn't even know if I was going to receive people, what was I doing in the city? He didn't give me the password. I climbed more than six stairs with my suitcases when I got there, my knee was injured. I asked him to cancel it. He didn't cancel and never gave me the password, so like losing, I lost my money,

    Chelmsford has good shops and restaurants.

    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.

    Chelmsford is a lovely, friendly city with a great atmosphere. Shopping is a dream here and the old buildings in it give it character and charm. It is also clean and tidy. Can't wait to go back. Public transport is very good.

    Great fun for the hen do! The best taxi firm in Essex we found, after a lot of hassle from others, was ‘Your Cabbie’. Graham was our driver and was our knight in shining taxi! 01245 354040, highly recommend!

    Having lived in Chelmsford since 1960 i have seen lots of changes, i have now moved away but still go back to visit family, it is a lovely town with lots of nice shops and plenty of places to eat. There is a Cathedral in the centre of town which is worth going to see.Not much more to say except that it is a good place to visit if you are in nearby Colchester and the coastal towns of Clacton Walton and Frinton.

    This property is beautifully located by the River Chelmer in an upmarket development a few minutes walk just outside of Chelmsford city centre. The apartment is in a brand new development with modern furnishings, comfortable beds and sofa. Everything was exquisitely clean with adequate toilet roll etc. The host was very helpful and approachable and a pleasure to deal with. All pictures matched the apartment and was not dated or innacurate. Highly recommended!

    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!).

    Good location to access the town, easy to find and clear instructions provided on how to access keys and enter the building. The interior is spadiceous and furnished to a very high standard. Have stayed in a number of apartments during my visits to Chelmsford with work and this is by far the nicest. Would defiantly look to book again in the not too distant future.

    The location is good in terms of getting around Chelmsford. Is very central, but it is also next to a very noisy street, so we were kept awake by noise from party goers the weekend we stayed there. Maybe it is more quiet during a work week.
