Scopri il tuo soggiorno a Great and Little Leighs

Il soggiorno è stato bello, pulito e accogliente. Ha bisogno di un aggiornamento perché sembra che fosse un ospedale o una casa di cura. È necessario liberarsi delle corde di emergenza. Era comodo e l'aria condizionata funzionava ed era vicino alla città. Un ristorante dall'altra parte della strada e un facile viaggio di ritorno all'aeroporto per noi.

A nice welcome to this wonderful B & B/guest house set in beautiful surroundings. The accommodation was very clean & a lot of attention to detail. A very comfortable bed with excellent quality mattress! Stan & Trish put on & cooked us a delicious breakfast all sourced locally that set us up for the day! Nothing was too much trouble! Good arrangements for guests wanting to come home a little later in the evening (we visited a friend locally & got chatting away!) Would definitely recommend & would stay here again, Thank you both! 🙏😊

I booked to stay here as I was going to the theatre and this is really close to there and the train station. The lady who checked us in said they're renovating which may explain the mound of rubbish we had to walk past to get up the outside stairs to access the rooms (you don't go through the pub to get to the rooms). Our room was nice (well stocked tea tray) and the bed really comfy and the shower was nice and powerful. There is a lot of stairs and to find the room was a bit of a maze (even though our room was above the bar), the hall smelt fusty and needs to have windows open in the daytime although I appreciate in winter that would make the place cold. I didn't like the fact that the outer door doesn't close automatically so anyone could walk into the building from the car park next to the pub, and it was also very noisy at night - its a busy road and also the other guests were loud and kept slamming doors and shouting on their phones in the corridor but that's not the pubs fault. I think for the price breakfast should be included.

We have recently returned from a very pleasant 2-night stay at the County Hotel, Chelmsford. We only booked a standard room which although slightly on the small side was clean, well furnished and had all that was necessary for a comfortable short stay. Lighting was good and although the room didn’t have air conditioning a large fan was provided. Our room was very quiet, the bed comfortable, and we both slept well. The bathroom was spacious, clean and had the added advantage of natural light and ventilation – something I always appreciate. On the first night of our stay, we enjoyed dinner in the hotel’s Samphire Restaurant – an attractively decorated, clean, comfortable venue. The food was well cooked and tasty and service was excellent, thank you Grace (hope I have remembered your name correctly!). Prices were average for a restaurant of this class in this area. One can also dine in the hotel’s Rainsford bar – there is a degree of menu overlap between the bar and the Samphire restaurant particularly for the more popular dishes, but the menus do differ so it maybe worth looking at both before deciding where to eat within the hotel – the bar seemed to offer more pub style favourites whilst the restaurant choices tended to be more up-market. The bar also has quite a lot of outside seating – whilst this only offers a view of the car park the opportunity to sit outside might be welcomed on a hot summer’s day. We chose to stay at this hotel due to its central location as we needed to catch a very early train from Chelmsford station. Within 5 to 10 minutes’ walk from the hotel one can reach the station and the town centre with its shops, restaurants, cathedral and theatre. The hotel has a large car park but to ensure that this is reserved for hotel users (and not used as a free car park for the station etc.) a charge is made – you need to enter your car’s registration number when entering the hotel to ensure that you do not end up with a parking fine. Currently, (October 2024), the charge for overnight parking is £9.00. Overall, this was a very good stay and if we needed to stay in central Chelmsford again it is highly likely that we would return to this hotel.
