Checking in and out was nice and simple. Room was very good and spotlessy clean. Comfortable bed. The only let down was breakfast which was a bit dry and overcooked. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking was great, in a town where it is notoriously difficult. Would be happy to stay again.

Nice Old Coach House Hotel
Plenty of spaces in the free car park, quick smooth checkin, nice room, comfortable bed. Bar area nice to have a drink could have better selection of ales and lagers. Dinner and breakfast was really nice in the restaurant area. We were part of a large group the lady on reception was really helpful nothing was too much trouble. Woukd happily stay here again if in the area.
