| The Feathers Inn has a rich history, dating back to the early 1600s when it was called The Princes Arms and had been owned by various blacksmiths and tanners.
In 1615, Ralph Osbertson purchased the inn and later, in 1670, allowed his son to change the name to The Feathers. It subsequently became one of the busiest coaching inns in the area, stabling over 100 horses. Documents of the period mention 5 bedrooms, a step parlour, moon parlour, lion parlour and various other rooms.
This beautifully converted 15th Century Tudor house is set in the grounds of Channels Golf Club, with its challenging 27 holes. The hotel is surrounded by over 300 acres of quiet, peaceful parkland.
Channels Lodge has individually designed en suite rooms. They combine original features such as exposed wooden beams with modern comforts such as TVs, DVD players and free Wi-Fi.
All rooms come with a mini-bar, confectionery and tea/coffee making facilities, as well as soft luxurious duvets, bathrobes and slippers.
Channels Restaurant is renowned for its excellent food and friendly service, and is situated in the adjoining golf club. Guests receive free passes for the nearby Cannons Gym, which features a swimming pool and fitness centre.
Channels Lodge is located close to the A12, between Chelmsford and just 2 miles from Chelmsford. London Stansted Airport is only 20 minutes away.
