B&B Downham Hall, hotel in Chelmsford

Featuring a garden and views of garden, B&B Downham Hall is a bed and breakfast situated in a historic building in Wickford, 14 km from Hylands Park.

The meals were very good and there was a lot of flexibility for dietary requirements / fussy children - some meals for the kids were off-menu and build around their preferences. The location is really nice too - lovely Georgian building.

    It was clean, spacious, equipped with everything I needed for a 3day stay with my family. Hosts were available and the location was quiet, peaceful by a walk away from the city centre.

    Excellent location close to city centre (walking distance) with plenty of parking for hotel guests. Quiet. Lovely very helpful staff who responded positively and promptly to any request we made. Liked the tea and coffee making facilities in the room…not the couple of tea bags and sachets of instant coffee one often gets. Here in the room was a variety of herbal teas available as well as black tea, drinking chocolate and a capsule coffee maker with plenty of capsules. In the fridge every day was a small bottle of fresh milk.

    The quaint ambiance of this ancient dwelling makes it a charming place to stay especially if visiting for a temporary reason. It is situated in a quiet residential area in close proximity to the city centre. The owner Peter is the most gracious host from ensuring he's there to greet you to attending to any other trip concerns you have.
