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.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Room was clean and tidy and the bed was comfortable. Beware though - they don’t serve food mid week.

Affordable, value-for-the-money accommodation with hearty (extra cost but affordable) breakfast. Room comfortable with snug ensuite facilities.
Friendly staff.
No restaurant except Fridays and Saturdays, but curry and Pizza/Chicken takeaways within walking distance; residents can bring meals back to eat in the bar.
Small health and safety warning - the steps and handrail leading to the accommodation block need attention - nothing a couple of hours with some mortar and bolts couldn't fix. Unfortunate that they haven't been!

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.

Please stay away!! For the amount that I have paid is not worth it!!
The room was very dirty, spiderwebs everywhere in the room, no soap or shampoo or shower gel in the bathroom.
Very cold in the room they haven’t open the heath.
The carpet was very dirty plenty of stains on it.
In the pub I order a drink and the glass that I was served were disgustingly dirty.
This hotel only worth £30 / night, not even that.
So, so , so unpleasant
PLEASE STAY AWAY

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!
