Rothmans Bed  Breakfast

We stayed for a wedding and everything was perfect. The garden is stunning to sit and relax in, free parking, tasty hot breakfast that you select the night before, comfy rooms and stunning old decor. The house is beautiful. Caroline was very friendly and helpful. We would certainly stay again and can highly recommend this to anyone in the area. It’s superb value for the rate of room too. Loved the 4 poster bed! Don’t miss this gem.

Stayed here whilst having to attend a court trial in nearby Chelmsford. 

The trial was delayed, Peter the owner, not only understood my plight but also kindly upgraded me and bent over backwards to help. 

The place is delightful, old, creaky and full of character. 

Would highly recommend!!

Hopefully will stay again in better circumstances, and enjoy the building, beautifully kept gardens and village one day. 

Thanks again.

Wonderful spacious regency room with en suite. Lovely comfy bed with huge TV and own sitting area with 2 chairs and table.
The property is a lovely period Manor House oozing with charm. It has a beautiful garden and parking. There is a choice of cooked breakfasts (select the night before) or continental again with lots of choices.
Peter is a patient, thoughtful, considerate and most accommodating host. Caroline who is in charge of house keeping does a first rate job in catering to the guests requirements.
Due to personal unforseen circumstances I was there for a month and it was a relief to be able to have such a wonderful base in the area.
Everyone is so friendly and I was made to feel so welcome it was like a home from home for me. I also got to meet many other interesting people during my stay.
I would definitely return and would highly recommend it to family and friends if they wished to stay in the area.

Very comfortable Georgian room with a key to a private bathroom. Peter offers a superb cooked breakfast each day. 
Lovely big garden with a nearby park to walk in and dog friendly which was a must for us. Caroline does a great job keeping the house in order and staying there made what would have been a very difficult time for us much easier. 
Definitely recommended.

Family run B&B in Gt Baddow near Chelmsford. Very quiet village located very near to wonderful countryside for walks and right on the doorstep of Essex’s county town, Chelmsford with all of its amenities.

The B&B is a period Manor House (Grade II) dating from 1600. The B&B is situated just of Gt Baddow High St and once you enter the front gate there is a wonderful garden and the building itself. 

I stayed in the Victorian room and was met by the owner Peter. The room was lovely and I really enjoyed the breakfast (you must pre-select what you want and leave in reception the night before).

Visiting friends nearby this was the perfect base to visit Chelmsford for dinner, take long walks in the surrounding countryside and, drive down to the Saltmarsh Coast.

Very friendly staff. Great location. I would definitely recommend!

This is a beautiful property, very hidden away. Surprisingly quiet considering that it is situated relatively close to the road side. The property s easy to find and has good amenities, even access to a microwave and cutlery in the breakfast room. The facilities are excellent, ample parking is available. Room size is deluxe and the warmth of rooms was lovely considering this was an older property.

On arrival a complimentary bottle of water was left on the bed along with the towel. A nice touch. The property has some beautiful prints and painting scatter around making it feel homely. 

So what’s the reason I didn’t give a five star review?

I felt some time spent on “touch ups” could make a world of difference.
Even just a lick of paint in some areas along with putting the curtains back on the running hooks would make a significant difference to the over all appearance of the property. A few two second jobs could help with finishing touches. The whole property needs an update, which could be done whilst keeping the Georgian style/original features. Just requires some TLC.

The welcome booklet was a lovely touch, but stated toiletries would be provided, dressing gown and slippers. I unfortunately didn’t manage to locate any toiletries, luckily I’d bought my own. 

The bathroom was quite cold, understandably due to windows and being a grade 2 listed building, these wouldn’t be a cheap job to upgrade. A lovely size bath was available.  I felt the hand wash perhaps shouldn’t be “Asda” brand, as this doesn’t fit with the properties aesthetic.

The bed very comfortable, unfortunately I didn’t sleep brilliantly due to light from one of the outside windows, where there must be a street light directly outside. A liner or a black out curtain would do the trick.

I also slipped on hallway rug, but managed to catch myself. This does make me question for older clientele this might cause a problem? 

Again I found some of the breakfast low quality. The coffee, cereal and condiments, supermarket brands. Perhaps money saving due to the size of property and cost of utilities, heating etc. The cooked aspect of the breakfast was excellent and I couldn’t fault this! 

Overall, the stay was excellent value for money and I will certainly stay here again.
Any queries were answered promptly (immediately) via a text.  

Lovely host, she has the correct balance of welcoming and polite without being “nosey” which some hosts can be! Offered to make my breakfast early as I needed to head off to an exam that morning. I hadn’t requested this, she just offered. 5* host. She manages the estate after a difficult time in the family who own the property. She’s been keeping things ticking over whilst the estate is being sorted, and she’s doing an excellent job.

There are very few places for the traveller to stay in and around Great Baddow/Sandon and this guest house was reasonably-priced and included breakfast. It's an attractive centuries-old building and the bedroom I stayed in was warm, clean and the bed was comfortable. There was no-one there to meet me (although I knew that in advance) but it was very dark inside and as I had no idea where my room was,  I had to peer at the room doors closely to find the one I had booked. To get in, there are codes to open the outside gate, the house front door and your room so, although I had no issues I can imagine that some people might find it rather daunting. Breakfast is included and was freshly cooked with lots of choice - and served by Caroline who was friendly and helpful. There is loads of parking too. I would stay there again happily. The only problem was the private bathroom that comes with the room had no heating and was freezing.

A great B&B it's a listed building and the garden is lovely. I stayed in the Regency en-suite room it was just what you'd expect from such a building a comfortable bed with great pillows the en-suite was small but spotlessly clean. The cooked breakfast was good and Caroline the host was so friendly and welcoming. Overall a good experience and good value for money

Instructions involving codes for gate and doors, plus an online registration form, made a daunting introduction. I made a phone call before travelling, to find exactly where to park.

In the end, it proved easy. Parking was in a marked area at the rear of the nursery next door, and the various doors were no problem. The old house was a delight, though not quite so good inside.

I was allocated a large single room, poorly furnished and decorated, but well stocked with proper coffee and a 'French press' maker. I could have done without the message that I would be prosecuted if I vandalised the place; I didn't. and I wouldn't have, anyway.

My biggest complaint was the bed - horrible soft, squidgy mattress, scratchy linen. I think they may have changed it, following my moan, but I wasn't sure!

Apart from that, all was good. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful, and served in a fine room. More excellent coffee. The shared bathroom proved no problem at all, and I had a pleasant stay.

I was there to watch a cricket match in nearby Chelmsford, and transport links were excellent. It was also walkable, for someone fitter than me. Great Baddow itself is very pleasant.

The bottom line is that I would happily stay here again.

Peter is a fantastic host, the rooms and the building are very traditional and comfortable, I’ve stayed there multiple times now and it beats any chain hotels. Breakfast is great and I stayed there during the COVID lockdown and everything was thought of.

Lovely Property, 5* host but a little bit of TLC needed.

Good value, nice breakfast

Beautiful stay and incredible value for money!

Lovely B&B very quaint

Mixed bag, mainly good

Just excellent.

Excellent base for extended stay

Great place for a long comfortable and affordable stay

Full of charm and really beautiful setting - Great Baddow’s hidden gem!

A fine listed building early 17th Century Manor House sensitively furnished and decorated in keeping with a building dating to 1600. The Edwardian single room is comfortable, clean with tv, tea & coffee facilities. Not en-suite but shower room just across the landing. For the price and character recommended, would stay again.
