Chelmsford hotels

Chelmsford is well located for getting to London and also Stansted Airport, but it is also smack bang in the English countryside, so it won’t take you long before you’re enjoying a romantic walk. Choose a hotel such as The Compasses Inn, which is a 10min walk from the River Chelmer where you can enjoy a couple’s stroll.

Chelmsford has some great bars and restaurants for evening entertainment. You could, for example, stay at The Ship, which is both a hotel and pub. A 4min walk away from this establishment you’ll also find other popular bars such as The Railway Tavern and The Royal Steamer. The train station is also only a stone’s throw away, should you want to experience the nightlife in London, which is about a 35min journey away.

Chelmsford is quite popular throughout the year, partly due to its close proximity to Stansted Airport and also London. However, it might get especially busy during school holidays, as travellers will be utilising the hotels ahead of going to the airport. One hotel which you could stay at with your family is Pontlands Park, which is an 18min drive away from Hylands House, a stately home which has family activities throughout the year.
