I felt like I was on a stage coach making a stop over. We loved the cottage style rooms where your wake up call is a door bell ringing as your morning coffee or tea is delivered through the door in your dresser in the room. The rooms were well appointed with fireplaces and a sitting area. For those who... More

We spent a night at the Coach House In February 2013. It is sadly neglected, dirty and not worth the rates charged. Management was absent. The staff were friendly and the food tasty, but staff can only do so much. THe hotel has not been painted in years, the showers were mouldy, the bar fridge dirty, plant pots were empty... More

We did not stay at the Hotel, only had Christmas lunch with our family. We had a lovely meal, with all the trimmings and could not have asked for more. The hotel does need some TLC compared to the grand establishment we remember of 15-20 years ago, however the views have not changed and given a good chance we are... More

Sadly, she seems to have abdicated and is no longer a shadow of its former glory. Having stayed at the Coach House on numerous occasions dating back to 1984, we were terribly disappointed to see this wonderful establishment going to seed. On arrival, the all pervasive smell of kitchen drains seems to set the scene, the litter strewn in the... More

Not only are the facilities run down and desperately in need of upgrading, but the food was poor too. We spent a weekend there and tried to find alternate accomodation after the first night. The website advertising the rates was misleading as it seemed to provide rates per room, not per person. The rates do not provide good value for... More

I have been very sceptical about the hotel due to the reviews i have read about it, despite my husband trying to convince me of how nice the place is. I finally decided to judge for myself and i must say I went there with very low expectations. Needless to say i was proven wrong, the place might not be... More

After reading many reviews of this hotel we arrived with some apprehension. The stay was lovely. The hotel is in an amazing setting with lovely views. The rooms are not brand new and possibly not 5 star quality, but were very clean and all the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean which for us is very important. The staff... More

I was at a loss for words when I read some of the unkind comments on the Coach House Hotel. Are we talking about the same place? When I was there in May I decided that I had one foot in heaven. All staff members are so polite, well-trained and kind. The hotel has a colonial feel and the bedrooms... More

My wife and I have stayed at the Coach House 5 times over the last 8 years; it is typically our Wedding Anniversary venue because of the surroundings, tranquility and 5 Star service. Our recent 4-day (3 night) trip suggest the former 2 have been retained, but we felt that perhaps the old lady is heading down to 3 stars.... More
