The Riverside Inn is a converted 17th-century mill situated on the River Chelmer, just 5 minutes’ walk from Chelmsford town center and Rail Station. It is a busy pub that shows sports and has a lively atmosphere

The room was very clean and staff was super friendly. Definitely recommend.

Located in Chelmsford and with Chelmsford Train Station reachable within 500 metres, The Ship provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a bar. The property is set 8.7 km from Hylands Park, 23 km from Freeport Braintree and 31 km from Upminster. Gants Hill is 37 km away and Hedingham Castle is 38 km from the inn.

Other than the fact we could not find our way out of the pub as it is an absolute maze upstairs and no signage we had a lovely time. Really nice room and bathroom.

    Venue was beautiful and everything was well kept, all of the staff were amazing and very accommodating for us on the night and at our dinner we had booked! Couldn’t be more happy with the above and beyond service they provided! Bed, mattress, pillows, duct and sheets was probably the best of anywhere I’ve stayed, slept better than ever! Couldn’t be happier with our stay, many thanks for having us.

    Cannot fault the hotel although we only stayed one night as we were in Chelmsford for a funeral, the hotel was perfect close to the city. We often visit Braintree which requires an overnight stop in a Premier Inn (convenient to our friend who lives nearby.) In our future visits we think it will be worthwhile traveling extra distance to Ivy Hills Hotel for its extra excellent comfort and lovely breakfast which we thoroughly enjoyed.
