Travelodge

Chelmsford was first considered to be a bit of a party city back in Roman times. Now the legions have cleared off it's safe for you stag invaders to check it out for yourselves and this stag-friendly hotel is the perfect starting point.

Less than a 10-minute stroll from Chelmsford's best bars, clubs and restaurants you'll have everything you need right on your doorstep. The group's designated drivers will be pleased to know there is a car park on site. Having left the motor, you won't even need to worry about taxis for those nights out. With everything so close there's no need to squeeze the guys into an uber which means less hassle and less expense. The proximity of the best bars also means less shoe leather and less chance of losing the groom before you get there.

Inside, the hotel has all the essentials. There's a bar and cafe to grab a breakfast or pre-party pint (while you're all hanging on waiting for the groom to finish blow-drying his hair). Once again the handy location means you'll be spoilt for choice for meals if you fancy another breakfast. The comfortable beds will probably mean some of the guys will sleep right through but that's ok, there's a parade of shops close by where you can get any emergency supplies for sore heads or empty bellies.

The guest rooms feature free tea and coffee facilities and free hand and shower wash. There's also a TV to relax with between activities and challenges. For any worries there is a 24-hour reception desk to answer your questions.

Sports fans will be pleased to know Essex cricket ground is a short distance away or you can take those hangovers for a walk in the nearby Oaklands Park. Contact our team today for a no hassle quote.
