The Compasses

Chelmsford

A vibrant and friendly English pub with rooms that was very welcoming with delicious food and drink and has won many awards for its cask ales and cider. Perfect location for our visit near Chelmsford being in the countryside and only 11 miles from Stansted airport, it may be remote for some but is so much better than the usual bland corporate hotels and a rare find nowadays.

I recently stayed in Chelmsford, Essex, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcome, and their local recommendations were spot on. The location was perfect—close to great restaurants, lovely parks, and easy transport links. I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and attention to detail throughout the property. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Chelmsford, whether for business or leisure. I’ll definitely be coming back!

No breakfast offered in this location but complimentary breakfast cereal bars and tea bags etc provided. Lovely beamed decent sized room, self controlled heating/Aircon unit, comfortable bed, good bathroom (extractor fan broken). Food in restaurant/pub very good, large variety - reasonable price for the quality and quantity but not cheap. Plenty of garden seating. Location very close to town and river walk. I would recommend this Inn.

Great location, near to where we needed to be. Very comfortable and well equipped. Plenty of parking. All you could possible need was in the kitchen, had a very homely feel. Very clean throughout. Rang before hand to ask about recommendations for Taxi and they were very helpful in providing a couple of firms. Happi Cabs were brilliant and easy to deal with.
