Hotels near St Andrews Parish Church, Chelmsford, Chelmsford

Room and staff very helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Only downside was price. Admittedly it was a Saturday night, but £90+ was a bit expensive. Only 10 min walk from cricket ground ans Aldi close by to stock up on supplies for next day at cricket!

The room was spacious and clean, most importantly the location is very quiet meaning that you can get a decent night's sleep. We had dinner at the hotel along with some friends, unfortunately the group suffer multiple allergies and intolerances, Helda (the restaurant/bar manager?), took control of our ordering checking each order with the kitchen and even ensuring that a new batter was made up for my wife who wanted fish. It was an immense relief to deal with a team who understood the importance of allergies which led to a relaxed enjoyable meal. The food was better than expected for a hotel and in my books rated as good. Breakfast was freshly cooked and again rated good, the coffee was a bit cool but you can't expect perfection. Having tried many hotels in the area we will book again. Fans in the room would have been a welcome addition, otherwise no major complaints.

We recently held our wedding ceremony and reception at Ivy Hill Hotel and words cannot adequately express how wonderful it was! The grounds are stunning and a photographer’s dream! So many locations that provide the perfect backdrop. The interior rooms are tasteful and elegant and can be adapted to any number of guests. The Ivy Suite and Ingatestone Room had extra little decorative touches that we had not asked for but were welcome additions. The canapes and dinner were truly scrumptious and temptingly presented; everyone commented on how delicious it was. The staff at Ivy Hill, without exception, are faultless. They provided an excellent service from the time we booked until the day itself and should be congratulated. We would like to give special mention to Charlotte, our initial contact, with whom we shared many emails. She was efficient and extremely helpful, keeping us updated on all aspects of the planning process. Jeremy put himself out in many ways and is a credit to you. That brings us to Libby – what a star she is! She contributed a great deal towards making our wedding so happy and joyful but in an unobtrusive way. Every wedding needs a Libby! From the time we first met her Libby provided invaluable advice and suggestions and we felt safe knowing she would be looking after us. There were so many guiding and thoughtful moments that are too numerous to list. Thank you Libby. All in all, if you are considering a wedding venue, think no further than Ivy Hill.

We had a lovely stay! Karen was absolutely amazing I couldn’t fault her customer service, absolutely amazing!!❤️ Chantelle! We are going out to Ibiza from Stansted and Karen has make then night before extra special! Definitely deserves every bit of recognition❤️

We hadn't planned to stay here but I had booked us in at the Stansted Holiday Inn Express on the wrong night so Chrissy at Stansted kindly found us a room for the night at Braintree as we had a early flight the next day. The staff on check in who also cooked and served our food and drink were absolutely brilliant. This hotel seems to have been left behind a bit with any refit as it is very tired and dated however the amazing staff made up for it hence the 4 stars. We'd tried the Toby carvery but they weren't taking walkins probably due to being so busy so we headed back to the hotel to see what they could rustle up for us. Although the menu was extremely limited as quite a lot of items were unavailable (not sure why?) We had spicy wings and soup to start so tasty and wonderfully presented. Followed by a shared toastie and then 2 fab puddings. Full bellies and v.happy thankyou. We were up and about before breakfast but the chap said he would happily let us have a take away coffee and any cold items to take with us as they were complimentary anyway. Overall a good stay.

We spent the night here and were very impressed with the marquee and had a great time at the party . The family room we stayed in was clean tidy and comfortable. We then all had breakfast and the staff was very attentive and helpful especially for my daughter needs as she’s gluten free , so we decided to stay on for lunch which was also very nice . I would highly recommend

We stopped at this Hotel on 17th September 2022 The Hotel is well placed in a good location, from the hotel there is a transfer bus to the airport every 30-minutes cost £4.00 per person payable on the bus. We booked the hotel through Holiday Extras and the cost included 7-days parking at the hotel, the car parks were large and secure, and you keep the car keys, we had no problems finding a parking space. The room we had was clean and spacious and we could not fault. We ate in the Hotel's Restaurant, the food and drinks were reasonably priced, and our waiter Dimitar was very polite and attenuative. If flying from Stanstead Airport again I would choose this hotel
