the building clearly was an old farm house lovely room but the bathroom needed some TLC The room was spacious lots of light in the room fairly clean the window was left open to air the room I understand. But because of this being on a main road everything had dust and flys in coffee cups skirting boards dresser. heater left in the room was great as this worked.

    Access to the neighbouring leisure facilities to relax in the pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. Breakfast was excellent with choice of buffet or selected cooked items from a menu. Food for dinner and lunch was also excellent. Room was spacious and made it comfortable for a week long stay where we could work, relax and sleep. Staff were always willing to help and the ability to refill water bottles with filtered water was a bonus and set us up for a day out.

    Excellent breakfast. Nice pool facilities but need to be aware of children friendly hours, would be quite rushed if only staying one night with check in from 3pm. Dinner was very nice too, lovely staff Goram made great wine and steak recommendations.

    The rooms were very big and the beds large and very comfortable. Lots of character, exposed beams and wonky floorrs. No breakfast available. The Riverside Inn is a lovely pub and has a great outdoor beer garden - we had friends come and meet us several times and it was perfect for us. Also very close to Chelmsford town.
