The Coachman Hotel

The Coachman Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A good place to stay. Liked the decor. Liked the free bikes to hire. Use of kitchen facilities was good. The pool often didn’t have clean towels and could’ve done with sweeping the debris from the trees more often. The guy behind the bar managed to serve me without speaking one word to me, not the most welcoming or friendly! Loved the smores each night by the fire pit."
