Meadows Barn 4 stars

Chelmsford

Set within 12 km of Hylands Park and 9 km of Chelmsford Cathedral in Chelmsford, Meadows Barn features self-catering accommodation with seating area and flat-screen TV. Complimentary WiFi is offered.

Each unit is comprised of a kitchen with a dining area and a dishwasher, a living room with a sofa, and a private bathroom with a hair dryer. A terrace with garden views is offered in all units. The accommodation was of a high standard and with a lot of character, the property was of a good size in all rooms with ensuite bathrooms in both rooms. The location was very peaceful with a great country setting but close enough to local amenities to offer dining options. Travelling to central London from the accommodation was fairly easy with a drive to the train station.

It was an unforgettable experience with extraordinary hospitality of Diane. The annex was really nicely decorated and a very cozy ambiance with a lovely garden. The breakfast was also very delicious. I also recommend the delicious pizzas of The White Hart pub which is about 200 m to Motts B&B.
