Where to start! Finally found it after driving down a lane. Arrived to find note on reception with a number to call. Called the number few times for her to say key is in the back of the room door ready. Room 2 was behind us. BBQ on grass but not as pictured, very run down. Walked to room 2, open the door to be hit by the smell of wet damp dog, finally entered the room and when I say shambles from stains on the floor, pubic hair in sink, poo still in toilet, something running down the fridge inside and out, cutlery that looks rusty and haven’t been cleaned and chipped mugs and also stained as well. Pulled back the duvet on the bed, this can only be described as non clean linen. Was not going to be staying the night there. The pictures on ad where no where to be found. Finally got through to reception and expressed our concern about the room and the cleanliness of it and asked for alternate room to be told there is only 1 available which was room 3 but the place of more than 12 rooms looked abandoned. Went to room 3 which 1/4 of the mirror was smashed and no longer on the wall where it should be, cobwebs and spiders and dust everywhere. Dirt that’s probably been sat there for months. General filth in the room. Went back to reception and rung the woman to say we won’t be staying she said leave the keys in box and hung up. So after travelling 4hrs to get there to then having to spend x3 the price on top & travel an extra 30 mins to a new hotel which was amazing unlike this dump

We stayed in room 11, It wasnt the cleanist of places, cowebs everywhere, empty malteser packet in the draw, liquid soap was watered down in the bathroom, no towels, which is on the list of things in the room, so we couldnt shower, as we didnt bring our own!!! also states a hob, that wasnt there either!! The doormat was taped together, smelt musky when we went in there!! I know you get what you pay for but this was unexceptable!!! Glad we only stayed the night, we were gone by 6am!!! 😧😧😧😧 It didn't look anything like the pic on the advert

You'll need to manage your expectations if staying here. Its cheap & its cheap for a reason. Its not Travelodge style accommodation, but (I suspect) cheaply built and maintained block of approx 15 holiday camp type rooms in a working farm yard. I stayed in room 12 that had been recently painted & had a new carpet. Lovely hot shower, comfortable bed, working kettle. No towels supplied but i expected this from other reviews. & no breakfast despite plenty of signs saying B&B. I feel its sensibly priced for the room.

Arrived at the reception and telephoned the number. Told that room 5. was ours and that the key was in the door. Noticed when got in that the kettle was dusty and the place looked well worn by had not paid much so didn't expect 5 star! Went for dinner then on closer inspection on our return noticed that the toilet was still dirty from the previous occupants and that nothing! (Maybe the duvet cover and pillow cases, even though the duvet smelt musty) Had been cleaned. There was mold in the shower and wardrobe areas and an absolute mass of cobwebs that would not have happened overnight. Having messaged the phone number previously rang asking for the room to be cleaned. We heard NOTHING back! Complained to Expedia and moved on next day as too late by then to go elsewhere and couldn't ask my son to sleep in the car! Terrible customer service as would have given them a chance to rectify these problems...

Bad experience

Unfortunately this was a bad experience for myself, wife and son. Upon arrival and an exiting our vehicle, we were met by an overpowering smell of cannabis emanating across the area. The room was very very dated and my son was crying due to the stability of the bunk bed, crying himself to sleep. I would say that the accommodation decor was approximately 25 - 30 years old at least. The doors were extremely old and dated, along with the toilet area which was covered in stains and mold. The walls are paper thin and we could hear the conversation of the person in the room next door, this was made worse as at 115am I thought they were coming through the wall following an almighty thud? I got limited sleep due to all these issues. The accommodation in fairness from the outside looks presentable, however internally is in need of major upgrades. Unfortunately would not recommend.

I stayed in room 10. Comfortable bed. Shower worked well with plenty of hot water. The room has a faint musty smell like in old places. I didn’t get any towels – had to improvise. The room was old, scuff marks on the walls, Fluff and cobwebs in corners.

Do not stay here

A B&B that doesn't offer breakfast, towels or even a toilet roll should not be described as a B&B, even self catering with the standard of cleanliness is debatable. Chipped mugs, stained carpets, mouldy grouting, frayed carpets, blood stained pillows and pillowcases, rusty microwave, to name but a few of the major objections to why you should book here. Yes it's reasonably priced but there are still standards that should be met
Stains on carpet

Almost comically bad

You don't expect luxury for £80 a night but this place is extraordinary! The indoor hallway leading to the room was strewn with wet leaves. Towels are 'on request', so we requested some and were given 3 towels one of which was filthy. The bathroom door didn't close properly so we had to listen to each other pee. And when we left this morning we were chased off the property by barking dogs. A memorable experience.

Stay away!!!!

Awful! Stay away!!! Room smelt and felt damp and dirty as soon as you walked in. Carpet was filthy. Marks on wall. Mould all around the doors and windows. We preferred the option of a 4 hour drive in the middle of the night, rather than stay here. Despite messaging Chelford B&B and Hotels.com no refund was given.

The hotel did not provide any towels nor soap to wash hands. The bathroom sliding door was stuck and we struggled to close it every time someone needed the loo. No hot water so unable to take shower (not that I would have ......) This is advertised as a B&B but when we called to enquire about it in the morning, they advised that they stopped serving breakfast since COVID but they still have pictures of breakfast on their pages.... Carpet has seen better days..... Overall poor condition even for a 2 star hotel!

Terrible. I've stayed in cleaner hostels!

Absolutely awful. We checked out immediately and requested a refund. Room filthy and bedding had been slept in. It was the lower body hair hanging from the shower head that really grossed us out. Bathroom hasnt been cleaned. This property should be removed from hotels.com Hotels.com have been great supporting us with this request.however the refund has been denied.
