ChannelsHotel

Each room has been designed and decorated completly differently. The rooms inside the house are traditional with original 15th century features. The courtyard bedrooms are modern although still individual, no two rooms are the same.
Channels Bar & Brasserie is number one on TripAdvisor for Fine Dining restaurants in Chelmsford. The Essex Barn is one of the top wedding venues in Essex and just down the road is our sister company Little Channels with a pay and play golf course and driving range.

Helicopters can land at Channels Hotel, giving the pilot and passengers the convenience of being able to safely unload close to the hotel. The only thing we request is that you advise us of your ETA so that we can be prepared for your arrival.

First impressions always last. Whether you arrive through our wooden archway in conventional style or indeed touch down at our own helipad, this will be of both seclusion and grandeur.
