That height is pretty normal for broad beans.

All mine are between 3 and 4 foot. The OP is used to that and more.
There may be something wrong.

Try the weather. It has been bloody cold, and even the weeds haven't
grown much in my garden.

2'6" is a perfectly normal height for broad beans. 3'6" is, too.
It all depends - on the variety, soil and weather.
