During my visit I had an accident where I spilled wine over myself just before I was due to give a lecture in the meeting rooms. This was seen by a member of staff who immediately without prompting bought napkins and even refilled the wine glass. Following the lecture I left some files in the room. These were found by... More

I am currently spending my second night at the County Hotel and am frankly appalled by the standard of services received by the night staff here. Pillows provided in the room are very thin and uncomfortable and as a consequence a terrible night's sleep followed by a neck ache. This evening, my husband and I both rang the front desk... More

I stayed here for one night prior to a meeting that we were holding at this hotel. The hotel was clean and the service was generally good. The food supplied for the meeting well exceeded that required and was of a high quality. I would consider staying and hold a meeting here again.

I managed to mess up my online booking but the reception staff were able to sort the whole thing out without once making it look or feel like my fault. I stayed one night with a friend in the premium twin room which was lovely. Ad a great night out in Chelmsford in the ship pub and lantern Chinese restaurant... More

. Comfortable room, quiet considering on main road, great central location for our needs. We stayed for a local party. Pleasant staff. Bar was fine but bit pricey. We didn't eat there so can't comment on food. Overall great stay.

Popped in for a drink here and sat in the bay window in the lounge bar. It was about 4pm in the evening. A pleasant environment, but slightly annoying when sport is on the TV and not a soul is watching it. We had bar drinks and teenagers had soft drinks and chocolate cookies. The cookies were rock hard as... More

I arrived on a Sunday evening staying until Thursday. I was out of the hotel early and back late, however, my stay in the hotel was absolutely fine. When I ate there the food was excellent quality and served later through the evening than any other hotel I have stayed in other than overseas. The rooms were an acceptable size... More

Stayed here for 3 nights as was visiting my partner at the local hospital. I was given a room on the 2nd floor and the lift only goes to the first floor! There were several doors and corridors to find my way down before I finally got to my room. The room was very small and basic, but it was... More
