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.

Excellent customer service from the man who greeted us. Lovely room in immaculate condition with plenty of crockery and glasses. The bath and shower were very nice and we enjoyed the jacuzzi function! The bed was very comfortable and the USB chargers were very useful. The breakfast was delicious. There was plenty of space in the car park.

Excellent room. Very clean, comfortable bed and French doors leading out to a little garden and patio area. It was a shame there was a rusting filthy patio set as you couldn’t have sat on it. Good tea and coffee provided and an excellent bathroom with a good shower over the bath.
