Chaff House at Laigh Hapton Reviews

Verified Customer Review
6th July 2025
Very disappointing. Poor access requires driving up a 3 mile single track road. House basic and requires thoroughly cleaned and items repaired or replaced. Leg broken on small table, fridge damaged and shelves need replaced, kitchen utensils need cleaned ( I wouldn’t use and I bought a pan whilst there), towel rail falling off and water not draining away in shower. Local area run down and need to travel outwith to see anything of interest.Plus was seeing the animals in the grounds.
