I cannot fault the staff at breakfast, they were attentive & breakfast was good. However the rooms are dated, bits on my floor. Unfortunately my daughter’s room had a wet bathroom floor, leaky shower & there were skid marks in the toilet. Cleanliness needs to be looked at & this could be a nice place to stay as located in a lovely area.

Overnight stay

Very competitively priced and that's why we chose it. Clean and adequate sized rooms with garden view. Got welcomed and the rooms are in a quiet building at the back of the pub. Would have been fine for one but the bed wasn't comfy for two - thin mattress and sinks down to the middle so is a curve.

Great little place

The wonderful lady that greeted us was friendly and had a good sense of humour. She showed us to our room which was spotlessly clean. We had dinner which she also cooked and breakfast again cooked by this true asset to the pub. A pleasant stay for a wedding just a short walk away. Was it the Ritz? No, but we didn’t pay for the Ritz. Would recommend.

Joy, is the Joy at The coach and horses.

The rooms are old and a little tired. We found ours cold. Ok for a night if you are looking for an "over night stay". Joy, who appears to be everywhere and doiing everything is absolutely the best part. Breakfast was filling and a good standard. All cooked fresh and served with Joy. We would go back just because of her!

A Great Nights Sleep

A really good nights sleep, nice room and very helpful staff. I ate in the pub - best jacket potato for a long time and nothing was too much trouble. They made a filling off menu and also dessert as I'm celiac :-) Greatly appreciated. Only downside building work in rooms downstairs - builders started hammering at 8am but stopped shortly afterwards. A great place to stay with a nice little beer garden out back and lots of parking. Would definitely stay again.

We were really disappointed in the cleanliness of the property. The room had not been hoovered, the toilet seat was broken and the sink had a large crack in it . The furnishings were very tired and the rooms could do with updating . The staff were very friendly.

I liked the cosy, comfortable atmosphere also the quiet...About the room... Disappointed by a couple of maintenance issues, though. The toilet flush wasn't very effective in fact the handle was loose and almost hanging off!! Also, the window catch was not securely fixed and could easily have come right away at the slightest touch...Incidentally, I couldn't get the shower head to depress sufficiently and ended up soaking the bathroom floor!!!
