3-star countryside inn in a Grade 2 listed 1400s building
Historic Building & Grounds
The Black Bull Inn occupies a Grade 2 listed building dating back to the 1400s, offering guests a stay in a structure with over six centuries of history. The property includes a large garden with views over the rolling Essex countryside, where sheep graze in the adjacent pen. Free private parking is available on-site for all guests, eliminating the need to search for street parking in the village.
Rooms & Amenities
Guest rooms come with flat-screen TVs with cable channels, a kettle, and a private bathroom with either a walk-in shower or a wet room. Some rooms feature underfloor heating in the bathroom, while others offer an interconnecting door for families or groups traveling together. The hotel is non-smoking throughout and provides facilities for disabled guests.
Dining & Pub
The on-site pub restaurant serves a menu built around locally sourced produce, designed by an acclaimed chef, with highlights including homemade pies, fish and chips, and roast dinners. A continental breakfast with cereal, toast, yogurt, juice, and filter coffee is included in the room rate; a cooked full English breakfast is available for an extra charge of £7.50. The pub also holds live music events and theme nights, and offers real ale on tap.
Nearby Attractions & Activities
The inn lies 16 km from Chelmsford Train Station and 17 km from Hylands Park, providing easy access to the region's main transport hubs and green spaces. Three local parks - Down Hall Natural Park, Bishop's Hall Park, and Weald Country Park - are within short driving distance, offering walking and cycling routes. London Stansted Airport is 22 km away, and the hotel is a convenient stop for hikers on the Essex Way long-distance trail.
Event & Family Amenities
Spacious event spaces in the inn can accommodate up to 60 guests, making the venue suitable for wedding receptions, family gatherings, or business meetings. Staff can arrange taxis to and from local wedding venues, and have a history of going out of their way to help guests with transport issues. Families staying here will find comfortable rooms with large beds, plenty of on-site parking, and a child-friendly pub atmosphere with generous food portions.
Highlights
History: Grade 2 listed 1400s building with original character
Events: Spaces for up to 60 guests, wedding-friendly
Parking: Free private parking on-site
Outdoor: Garden with views of rolling countryside
“The Black Bull Inn presents a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, particularly noticeable in its comfortable beds and the generous, home-style food served in the pub. While the accommodation itself leans towards basic, the value is undeniable, especially with the hearty breakfast included. It's a place where the friendly local vibe and ample parking add a practical charm to its countryside setting.”
