Eat & Drink
The restaurant Rose of India lies right around the corner from this accommodation.
“The County Hotel strikes me as a dependably solid choice in central Chelmsford, particularly for business or events; the eco-friendly focus is a definite plus. From what I've gathered, the Samphire Restaurant stands out, with its locally sourced menus and AA Rosette. While some rooms may show their age, the staff apparently work hard to ensure guests are well taken care of.”
