Guesthouse The Dorrington (Halstead, United Kingdom)

On the whole, the staff at this guesthouse are pleasant and very welcoming. Employees often strike up a conversation with guests and are happy to provide local information or take care of any issue.

While Scenarios is a basic guest house, it covers all the needs one has for an accommodation in the area. More so, it does it for a very affordable rate that is ideal for travellers looking for a stay on a budget.

Scenarios is placed in the heart of Halstead. This gives it a prime spot for guests to explore the town on foot and take advantage of several dining and shopping establishments nearby.

Some serious work needs to be done in the guest bathrooms to meet expectations. The hot water in the showers is hit and miss, while bad smells and the presence of mould can turn guests off in a hurry.

Carpeting throughout the guest house is in dire need of being replaced. In many areas the carpets have a tattered appearance, and in others there are indiscernible stains that give the rest of the property an unclean look.

One thing that guests might not realize before arriving is the guestrooms are a side business that has been attached to an established pub. Because it is not the main focus of the owners there are some areas that are neglected, and the atmosphere is geared toward young travellers on an active holiday.
