tLovely bathroom and great shower, but the hotel room was very cold as the heating was quite complicated to use - added to this the heater plug shorted and there was a strong electrical smell in the room.

Overnight stay at County Hotel Chelmsford

The receptionist was very welcoming and explained the process. She left me with a packed breakfast to pick up in the morning when I realised I would miss breakfast because of where I needed to be before it was time for breakfast to be served. The bed in my room was comfortable and the tea making facilities were good
