Welcome to County Hotel, Chelmsford
Classic yet contemporary
Established in 1928 on the grounds of the Old Rainsford Manor, our refined hotel offers a warm and traditional service to guests old and new.
Accommodation
Whether you are joining us for business or pleasure, we have 50 rooms differing in size and style to help you relax throughout your visit. Our buildings that are steeped in history and heritage come together to offer a memorable stay, from the luxury, contemporary suites to the comfortable trusty doubles.
Food and Drink
Whether you're in the mood for a home-cooked favourite in relaxed lounge surroundings or would like to sample a sumptuous dish from our award-winning restaurant, we have something for everyone's taste. We enjoy sourcing fresh, seasonal ingredients for our menus and, where possible, we like to use local produce.
Business
Travelling on business can be exhausting and we aim to make you as comfortable as possible whilst you work away from home. With free Wi-Fi in every room and just a two-minute walk from Chelmsford Train Station (30 minutes from Liverpool Street, London), we are the perfect business bolthole.
Afternoon Tea
Following in the footsteps of our well-heeled ancestors, the much-loved, English tradition of Afternoon Tea continues today at County Hotel some 179 years later.
