About Ivy Hill Hotel

Ivy Hill Hotel is a beautiful hotel with 31 luxurious and contemporary bedrooms, and a number of flexible function spaces, perfect for weddings, functions and conferences of all sizes.

Set in mature gardens and giving you exceptional service in relaxed yet elegant surroundings, Ivy Hill Hotel is perfectly located in the Essex countryside but just moments from the A12 between Brentwood and Chelmsford. Why not experience some delicious food during your visit at the Hotel. Bartellas Restaurant offers good food, professionally served in smart, intimate surroundings.

Whether you are searching for the idyllic backdrop to your heavenly wedding, a romantic getaway from the hustle and bustle of life, a midweek night out with friends or a flexible venue for your corporate event, you are in the right place.

At Ivy Hill Hotel, you will find everything you are looking for, no matter the occasion, all within five acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and inside the lovingly converted Victorian country house.

Along with 31 bedrooms providing a luxurious home from home, Ivy Hill Hotel also boasts a Lounge and Bar, plus Bartellas, an independently operated restaurant connected to the hotel which is also popular with non-residents.

Pop in for a coffee, light lunch or afternoon tea with friends or simply relax in our welcoming lounge.

While the venue may date back to 1891 and our traditional family values may lay at our core, we are in touch with the latest trends and can bring your most unique and stylish event to reality.

Indeed, we can literally move walls to ensure our rooms suit you, with the Margaretting Suite, Ingatestone Room and Ivy Suite all able to be connected or separated depending on guest numbers and event requirements.

Not only are we completely flexible to your needs, but Ivy Hill Hotel is ideally located just off of the A12 in Margaretting, between Chelmsford and Brentwood, with easy access to the M25 and Stansted Airport.

If you are visiting us via train, the nearest train stations are Ingatestone, Shenfield and Chelmsford.

Wedding Tips from Ivy Hill Hotel

When choosing a venue, don't overwhelm yourself. Take your time & do your research. Then shortlist your favourite 3 or 4 venues before booking a show round.

Set a realistic budget. Before booking anything, decide how much you’re willing to spend overall & stick to it! Be sure to include a 10% buffer for unexpected expenses.

Enjoy the process. Don’t let planning steal your joy. Celebrate small wins, take breaks, and remember why you’re doing this — it’s about starting your life together.
