    Cozy ambiance with charming character

    I enjoyed my stay in the cozy room complete with charming oak beams and a comfortable bed. The lively bar atmosphere and great dining options added to the experience, with a lovely beer garden for relaxation. the shower's temperature control was a bit troublesome and could use some improvement.

    comfortable bed
    great location
    complimentary snacks

    we had a lovely stay at the riverside inn! the room was decent-sized with oak beams and a comfortable bed. the self-controlled heating/air con was perfect for our needs. the location is super close to the town and beautiful river walk. the complimentary breakfast cereal bars were a nice touch too!

    the extractor fan in the bathroom was broken.

    noise disturbances
    cleanliness issues

    Riverside setting, quaint pub style, unique historical experience

    The noise disturbances from creaky floors and thin walls were quite bothersome!!! The questionable cleanliness standards in common areas left much to be desired, making the overall impression less inviting.

    Consider prepaying for parking nearby as it simplifies late-night payments. check local car parks for overnight options.

    cozy room
    comfy bed
    shabby paintwork

    The room was cozy, with a comfy bed and a big TV, which made it perfect for winding down. I loved the outdoor space to relax and enjoy a drink. The bar was a nice touch. Just a heads up, the paintwork could use some love, but it didn’t ruin our time at all! 👍

    i recently stayed for one night and it was better than my previous visit to Chelmsford. the room was cozy with a clean and modern bathroom, and the bar area had plenty of seating and a lovely vibe. the location is perfect, just a short walk from the shops.

    the shower pressure was inconsistent.

    cozy room
    tasty meals
    lively pub

    Had an awesome getaway with friends! The room was cozy and clean. We loved the lively vibe of the pub. We caught some sports action on TV and enjoyed tasty meals too. Just a heads up, we heard some noise from the upstairs rooms, but it didn't bother us much. Definitely a fun spot to relax!

    Couples looking for charm will enjoy

    We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room and the facilities offered. The air con was a godsend on a hot day, making it easy to avoid any noise from the beer garden.

    It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but still reasonable for the experience.

    quirky rooms
    friendly staff
    riverside garden
    inconvenient shower

    Had a blast with friends at this charming spot. We loved the lively pub, which was perfect for catching a game, and enjoyed some great eats nearby. The quirky rooms were clean and had all the essentials. The staff was super friendly. Don't miss the lovely riverside garden for some relaxation!

    Unfortunately, the shower setup in our room was a bit of a hassle, as we struggled with the temperature control. It would be nice if they could sort that out.
