In the restaurant, a Continental and cooked breakfast is available in the morning for a surcharge. Muesli, yoghurt and fresh fruit is also available. Using fresh, local produce there is also a lunch and dinner menu available. The menu also includes a ‘Huffer’ filled sandwich, popular with the locals.

Very accomodating room, squeaky clean, good food in the pub. They even reserved a table for us, which they normally don't do.

Located in Chelmsford and with Chelmsford Train Station reachable within 500 metres, The Ship provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a bar. The property is set 8.7 km from Hylands Park, 23 km from Freeport Braintree and 31 km from Upminster. Gants Hill is 37 km away and Hedingham Castle is 38 km from the inn.

Other than the fact we could not find our way out of the pub as it is an absolute maze upstairs and no signage we had a lovely time. Really nice room and bathroom.

    Cannot fault the hotel although we only stayed one night as we were in Chelmsford for a funeral, the hotel was perfect close to the city. We often visit Braintree which requires an overnight stop in a Premier Inn (convenient to our friend who lives nearby.) In our future visits we think it will be worthwhile traveling extra distance to Ivy Hills Hotel for its extra excellent comfort and lovely breakfast which we thoroughly enjoyed.

    Beautiful looking property and really quite nice inside and out. We stayed in room 63 which was perfect for three of us on a girls trip after wedding dress shopping near by. We didn’t eat in the restaurant for dinner but did have breakfast here which was spot on. The morning waitresses were just lovely and the food was very well cooked and it was a small but perfectly formed selection.

    It’s a 400 year old inn. It’s part of a pub which has so much charm and history. It’s very much like walking back in history with wooden beams, creaming floors and charming features.
