My wife and I did not stay in the rooms, we just visited the pub for a meal and a drink. Not very friendly staff, owners appeared friendly but wasn't sincere. Food was mediocre. You could see the kitchen when going to the men's toilet, floor was filthy. Main bar area had uncomfortable seating, most seats taken up by local... More

Upon arriving at this attractive establishment i was impressed, the service was good, friendly staff and owner. Lured into the bar for food i was expecting a superb steak and ale pie, my expectations built up by the lady owner, i was, it is fair to say, mediocre, edible but not worth the price. The room had fresh fruit which... More

We stayed here in June 2012 and had a room on the second floor in the old windmill. It was with rounded walls and very quaint. We were not particularly impressed with the cleanliness although it might have been that some things were just a bit shabby. The towels in the room, for example, had seen much better days and...

Hosts were very pleasant on arrival. Stayed overnight on Saturday 15 Sept with sister as at a party in Chelmsford. Was disappointed with room which was very basic; bed uncomfortable with very thin mattress, ceiling too low (I'm 5'4" and could touch ceiling) and could hear every single noise (and there was so much noise) from residents above; shower tiles...

My friends and myself stayed recently at the Windmill Motor Inn for two nights during the recent VFestival in Chelmsford. The rooms were basic but comfortable enough. They had a very limited selection of drinks in the fridge and the rooms were very warm...but then it was the hottest day of the year. The bathroom was ok but the shower... More

Myself and my family recently stayed at this beautiful country pub/hotel. The rooms were clean and tidy and the hosts very welcoming. We ate in the restaurant with locals and the family around and tasted some great beers! We felt very at home which is so different from the more standard chain motels in the area. We will certainly be... More

Stayed here for this years' V festival, as we're now in our thirties and too fussy for camping! Very comfortable accommodation provided by Elaine and Peter. Only £25 in a cab from Chelmsford and in a peaceful location. Hearty breakfast too!

At first glance when we arrived, we thought it was going to be a peacefull, pretty country Inn with friendly locals. There was a wake going on at 4pm when we arrived with a group sat outside in the sunshine drinking. Our room was in the Roundhouse itself where the window was feet away from the front of the pubs...

While the owners of this pretty and rustic inn were friendly and accommodating, our one night stay was marred by a lack of attention to detail which could really be very easily rectified and could turn this into an accommodation worthy of high recommendation. The problems primarily revolved around the en-suite bathroom which was badly in need of some T.L.C.... More
