The inn is a popular spot for dinner for the locals. However for travellers the menu is limited and main items auch as the Sunday roast specials were all sold out befor 1730hrs.

Rooms are outdated but probably on par for the town. Car park was very convenient. Staff were excellent but were not available overnight which I found odd.

Staff on reception always welcoming. Stayed numerous times, apart from squeaky floorboards which cannot be helped in an old building, everything is fine.

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.

Old world charm

Very picturesque, old hotel. Good food and selection of drinks in the bar, staff friendly and helpful. The room was a good size and comfortable, although I'm not sure 4 people could stay for long in it. However, the floorboards in the room creaked whenever you walked on them and the fan in the bathroom was the loudest I've heard in a long time! Important if, like me, you're up to the toilet during the night and your partner is sleeping. Certainly full of character!
