Lovely pub / inn in a lovely Essex town

Stayed for two nights due to attending a local festival at Chelmsford. We could not check in early but this was not an issue as we could park our car and leave our bags. They were very accommodating of our then late arrival back at the hotel (after 11pm at night) and check in was quick and efficient. The inn is lovely and the rooms were clean. They had left the radio on for us when we entered our room which we liked. The breakfast the following day all though very busy was excellent. I would definitely recommend this inn

Lovely old Coaching Inn with welcoming and helpful staff. It was very conveniently located in the town near bus stops with parking and my room was perfect with a large comfortable bed and a bath. Only little things letting it down was no croissants or Hash brownies at breakfast and the price of the Wine !! (Luckily found at half the price for lunch the following day at a cafe across the road......)

The room was unexpected but not in the most comforting way and not what is shown on the website for the outside rooms. It needs an update and could be utilised in a better way if they are going for the barn vibe. The guy at the reception desk was helpful and friendly! The breakfast was nice. It has a young vibe which was ideal for myself but not for my mum who accompanied me on this visit.

Staff were very good, friendly, polite and helpful. Breakfast was very good and to a high standard. Rooms are quite basic, but to be fair they offer good value for the cost so we would stay again and recommend, particularly for a short stay.

really nice room beds comfortable great setting , pub really nice food and breakfast , my only gripe and don't suppose they can do anything about is the amount of parking available for the amount of customers they attract for both the pub and hotel. Would defiantly stop again though

Comfortable short stay

We stayed at the the Richmond Hill as a base to go to Wimbledon, but it's worth staying just to explore the local area anyway. Bed was terrific, food was delicious, and we had a really nice time. Thanks to all.
