I had a really pleasant stay at The Ship. The room was compact but spotless and well-organised, with a comfy single bed, en-suite bathroom, TV, and a side cabinet stocked with tea, coffee, and biscuits—such a thoughtful touch. It had been a long time since I’d slept in a single bed, but it was surprisingly comfortable and perfect for a good night’s rest. I’d definitely stay again and would recommend it to other travellers looking for a clean, cosy spot with all the essentials.

Clean comfortable room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food in pub was discounted slightly for guests. There were a fair few stairs and it was a tad noisy outside, however it suited our overnight stay and we would stay there again.

Lovely room above a very nice pub in a great location, just 5 minutes walk from Chelmsford station. Nothing really to dislike for the price.

Very good value and service. Beware if you are relying on satnav to locate. Because of busgates it took a bit of finding. Council pay and display parking nearby but overnight only to 5am however street parking available after 6pm.

Conveniently located. Room basic but comfy. Main criticism is that the bathroom was much too hot. I nearly burnt my hand when I accidentally touched the heated towel rail while reaching for the toilet paper. I would have preferred not to have had to climb three flights of stairs to the room. Especially as there is no handrail on upper level.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. The room was modern, impeccably maintained, and spotlessly clean, which exceeded my expectations. A delightful surprise was the espresso machine in the room—such a thoughtful touch! I enjoyed my short stay and would happily return in the future.

Perfectly adequate for a one night stay. But, unless one knows the area, getting to it via Sat Nav is challenging, and the local parking is a nightmare!:.
