About Rothmans B&B
Rothmans B&B suits visitors after a simple, unfussy base in Chelmsford rather than a country-house experience. Set within a 17th-century oak-beamed manor on the High Street, it's a good fit for people passing through the area, visiting Chelmsford Cathedral or Hylands Park, or breaking up a longer journey through Essex.
Rooms are straightforward and come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks available in-room, with free WiFi throughout. Breakfast is cooked to order, and the games room and garden offer a bit of space to unwind beyond the bedroom. Reception operates around the clock, and there's free on-site parking for anyone arriving by car. Pets are welcome, which makes it a practical choice for travellers not wanting to leave animals behind.
Outside the doors, the surrounding area caters to walkers and cyclists, with golf and fishing also within reach, and pubs, restaurants and other entertainment nearby for evenings out. It's a fair option for those who want the historic character of the building without needing extensive facilities on site.
What guests say
The breakfast was great. Being a listed building luxury’s are for wanting. The sheets were clean and so was the room. Particularly impressed with the cafeteria and ground coffee in the room compared to others. Caroline was lovely.

Beautiful traditional deco big rooms. Peter was there to receive us. Peter is very humble and nice to talk with person. Breakfast can be better- Tea can be boiled and served rather an electric kettle was provided. Muffins, croissants and few more options would be good. We could not fill up as there was only half cooked eggs and cereals and not so good Tea.

Okay, the room is huge, and the bed is very comfy. I was upgraded to the Four poster bed room because of issues with the room I should have had. The only downside was the bathroom was very small. So small that I decided not to shower and I'm not tall at all but it felt very cramped! Plus when I flushed the loo water came up through the shower tray drain. I'm sure this is not the norm and just an issue with the drains that will get sorted, as this did not put me off maybe booking here again in the future. The host Caroline was very good at providing instructions, nothing seemed too much trouble. I never got the opportunity to have breakfast because I didn't leave my breakfast order as instructed in the room, nor did I try to make contact to request anything as I'm sure I would have got something. Quiet location, easy parking. A few door key codes to overcome but helps you come and go as you please.

So I stayed in a small bed room for the weekend and I really don’t need much. The bathrooms/ toilets for smaller rooms are a shared space to keep in mind but I did not have any issues with that. Creaky floors and very quiet place. Not an issue at all. Only thing is the internet was not very strong but that was okay. Caroline was delightful and very attentive! If you complete your breakfast sheet she will have your breakfast out on time. If I ever have to come back around the area I’ll be staying here!
