First problem was finding the place, web says it is in High St Halstead, but is in Great Yeldham 6 miles away Room was adequate for the price but extract fan in en suite was not working. Breakfast not a good experience. Cook was friendly, long hair in the butter, two jam jars on the table had dust all over the tops, kitchen paper for napkins, however we were not charged full price as we did not have full breakfasts

Unpleasant stay – poor room conditions

Unpleasant stay – poor room conditions I stayed at this property in May 2025 and unfortunately had to leave right after check-in. The room was very cold, as the radiator wasn’t working and the window had been left open. The air was very damp and musty, and there were visible signs of mold around the window area. I was traveling with my child and didn’t feel comfortable staying under those conditions. I contacted customer service the same day and submitted photos, but I was later told that no refund could be issued unless approved by the property. It was a disappointing experience, and I hope the room conditions will be improved for future guests.
