"What a wonderful weekend we had here at The Coach House. A group of 8 came for a hen weekend and had a fabulous time. The Coach House is a lovely property set in gorgeous countryside. We were pleasantly surprised to see some Alpacas (Diablo and Aspen) on the drive up to the property. Plenty of space for parking available out the front. The property is spacious and welcoming, and again we were surprised that so much was provided... Little touches like dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid which is very thoughtful as other properties we have visited have not provided anything at all! The rooms were all lovely and clean as were the bathrooms. Towels and bedding all provided. Complimentary crocs are provided to walk down to the chill out area and some robes can be rented for a small charge which is a great idea! We had fun and games with the hot tub and sauna area, it is a little tricky to get going but it was well worth it and we spent Saturday in and out of the tub and sauna and then had an amazing BBQ in the hut in the evening. We also loved the animals on the property. Rosie the cat is gorgeous, and Jasper and Dexter the dogs came to see us for cuddles and belly rubs. Dave and Suzanne were on hand to help if we needed anything. We will definitely be back to stay here again!"

"Myself and my family (9 of us) recently stayed for Christmas week, we had a great time. The Coach House exceeded all expectations. The house is beautiful, plenty of room, lovely furnishings and utilities, the chill out zone was fantastic. There were plenty of pubs, restaurants nearby, a beautiful waterfall, a dam with a huge lake, castles, horseriding and more nearby which we all took advatantage of along with my dog. At the end of the day the house was so nice to come back to with a feeling that you are well away from the hustle and bustle. We are definitely booking again."

"Arrived last weekend of November for a 3 night stay with 6 adults and 4 children. Upon arriving house was freezing!!!! Pictures make the house look better than it is. During the course of the weekend it became apparent that everything was extremely disappointing. Bathrooms are flushed via a septic tank so there is always a strong smell of drains throughout the property. The house was filthy. Dust in every room. Plates in the kitchen cupboards with stale food still on them. Dirty glasses. Old crisp packets found behind the headboard of one of the beds. General disregard for cleanliness throughout the property. Crocs kindly left for use to walk down to 'chillout' area. My husband put a croc on only to find a dirty wet sock inside! Jacuzzi DOES NOT WORK!!! 8 hours trying to fire it up and we gave up! All in all a brilliant weekend thanks to our friends but an extremely disappointing stay. Would not recommend this property to anyone. Do not waste your money!!!"

"Absolutely fantastic family holiday. Beautiful location, with some lovely walks. Accommodation was brilliant, lovely large house with plenty of room for a big family. It was nice to be able to let our children play in the garden whilst we relaxed. It was a brilliant place for the children, they loved playing with the owners children and their dogs. Loved the chill out area! Thank you. Would definitely look to visit again."

"We had an early Christmas family get together at the property, and stayed for a long weekend. I thought the owners were nice and helpful and gave useful advice. The property is in a lovely scenic and peaceful location too. Given the time of year it was very cold, but that didn't deter us from using the hot tub and sauna. Although the property is large, it was lovely and warm. Very clean too. The kitchen was well stocked in terms of plates, cutlery, pots and pans etc. and the fridge freezer was more than ample for our needs. Definitely would visit again."

"So, we use Trip Advisor a lot ourselves and always try to keep reviews objective. The positives - - the coach house has been renovated to a high spec. - the rental price for 10 of us was great - the BBQ hut and chill out Zone were well used - there is an honesty box for the robe and towel hire, to drop the money in - the owners were very approachable if needed The Helpful tips- - Read all the instructions before you start doing anything / there are a lot though! - Cover the drain in the wet room - take a torch - don't expect a meet and greet service, the key is in the door and they do leave you to your own devices. - there are lovely walks in the area The not so positive bits (personal thoughts) - The tub and sauna are WoodFired, and for someone like me who loves the smell and sound of a woodburner this all sounds very romantic. The downside is it is very high maintenance- it takes approx 4hours to heat up for use,once it gets going and you have to regularly add wood during this time, and you cannot use it in the mornings as it cools down overnight. Then you run the gauntlet of the water suddenly getting very hot and you have to add cold water to bring it back down - that in itself turned out to be a challenge as the hose was connected to electrical timer, once we worked out all the switches in the hut (again .. read all the instructions fully first!) - the walk from the house to Zone is around the driveway, there was a security light at the rear then another at the gate but you are practically there before it comes on and it is very dark-another sensor light on the corner of the house would help massively- but we improvised and used our phone lights. - the house is in the middle of a stable yard, and the owners property so do not expect isolation - this is referred to in the information I think but just be aware. - they have two beautiful dogs who are very friendly and do join you - the jack Russell on arrival joined me in the car - some of us loved it but some are allergic, so just be prepared. - Flies were an issue - not as many as previous reviews but they were a constant presence. Hopefully for others going later as the weather gets colder this will stop, but farms, horses, etc ... - there was no where to dry towels and wet bathers in the house. There was a tumble dryer outside in the garage though. All in all, our weekend was what we made it, there are some lovely touches here and rental cost good value but we have probably been put off from renting anywhere again with wood fired equipment- purely our choice but somebody in the party could never fully relax as you are always thinking about lighting up, topping up and cleaning out. Thank you to the owners for the lovely home and the facility of the Chill out Zone "

"Barn conversion and outside areas have clearly been completed to a high specification and there is a good level of cleanliness throughout the property, however, there is a severe fly infestation which only became apparent on our first morning once the heating had turned itself on and the property was quite warm. I was in the room opposite the main bathroom which did have a high concentration of flies that were not only flying around but were on the bed and all over personal belongings. We were also unable to sit and eat comfortably as the kitchen as inundated with flies. The owner sent a child of around 10 years old collect the deposit money to which we refused on several occasions and when owner finally arrived was rude and seemed disinterested in our observations of the flies and other faults by saying she knew all about it. The property could be exceptional if only some time and care was fed back into the property by the owners."

"Where the house was lovely and in beautiful surroundings it was ruined by the infestation of flies. They were everywhere, they came out of the shower plug holes and shower head in 2 of the bathrooms. We were unable to eat without being surrounded by flies and definately couldnt leave any food or drink out on tables. The hot tub didnt work properly and was very high maintenance to get it and keep it heated up. It meant we were unable to explore our surroundings. The hot tub wasnt very clean and because it was heated by fire it meant that we all stank of smome comming from it. We werent welcomed to the property and when we had an issue we were unable to get in touch with the owners on any of the 3 numbers we had. We therefore missed out on an evening in the hot tub. A young child was sent to collect a deposit from us for the stay."

"We stayed for a week for my wife's birthday with the family, 10 adults in all. The place was even better than we expected. The chill out area is brilliant, we used the sauna and superb jacuzzi hot tub every day, and used the BBQ hut for three BBQ's....amazing. The BBQ hut has a sound bar as well, so we could blue tooth music from phones and the iPads...bonus.... The lounge is lovely and spacious, and the table in the kitchen sat us all with room to spare for the birthday meal... The bedrooms are beAutifully decked out, really tasteful. The owners are there if you need them, but you wouldn't know they were there and left us all to enjoy ourselves. It was the best week we have ever had as a family, would absolutely recommend the place."

"Three families shard a wonderful weekend at the end of April 2017 to celebrate a 40th birthday. The children (4) are aged 7 and 10 and all fully enjoyed the chill out area as well as the local countryside of course. The owners were exceptionally helpful both before our arrival and during our stay - helping us get birthday cakes and candles etc for the occasion. The wood burning stoves in the hot tub and sauna were easy to get going and within a couple of hours both delivered sensational heat and provided hours of relaxation for adults and children alike. The Kota hut with integrated BBQ station was just lovely and cooked our food to perfection. There were plenty of toys and games for the children in the main house so we needn't have taken our own :-) We had a food delivery by Waitrose just 20 minutes after our arrival so everything just worked well for us. Overall we had a fantastic weekend and would love to return sometime to take in more of the beautiful countryside right on the doorstep of the Coach House - if only the kids would entertain the walking...."

"5 adults and 3 children stayed here for a mid week break over Easter for a family celebration. I was apprehensive after the lack of reviews but need not have worried. The owner David welcomed us upon arrival (3pm) and advised us to make our selves at home. There was plenty of room for all of us, a well equipped kitchen, freshly made beds with towels in each bedroom. Stair gates, cot, ironing board....home from home really. We had some lovely evenings in together playing games and catching up but the main attraction for us was the amazing hot tub, sauna and BBQ hut. The hot tub is heated with the logs provided but takes up to 4 hours to reach a comfortable temperature. You can connect and play music from out here using Bluetooth and it's totally self contained so no need to nip back to the house for glasses, cutlery or even use the toilet. We were lucky with the weather so we spent lots of time outdoors. The surrounding area is very picturesque and it has a long drive way so secure and private with no one overlooking. We ate in the local pub a 5 minute drive away called the Lime Kiln - recommended. The only negative for some was that the wifi is non existent. Not a major issue but it really shouldn't be offered if it cannot be provided. Thank you Suzanne and David, we would love to stay again in the future."

"We stayed at the coach house recently. There were 5 couples and two babies. The space was just enough so we wern't treading over each other. The fridge/freezer and pantry was a good size for all our food. It didn't matter there was only one TV as we were too busy catching up with friends, playing board games or reading. The bbq hut, hot tub and sauna was just amazing, this is where we spent most of our time; Drinks, roasting marshmallows and bbq food with music, we couldn't ask for much more! The house isn't overlooked and there's plenty of parking. The coach house is local to small towns and tourist attractions. However, the house would benefit with a downstairs toilet, the wifi connection was very poor, we had to pay extra for towels and robes but some of us brought our own. There was an issue over giant flies coming in the main bathroom but the owner soon visited and sorted the problem (he taped over the air vent with sellotape). "

"Overall this property was very disappointing. The downstairs rooms are very dismal, especially the kitchen and the downstairs bedroom and wet room which desperately needs refurbishment. There is only one TV in the property which is poor for 10 people especially if this covers a wide age group. The outside space is good for parking but there is no garden to speak of. There is a very small grassed area which slopes down onto the gravel, the back of this area drops away into woodland and there is a metal frame which has been discarded and left going rusty. There is also a garage to the side of the accommodation which houses the dryer but also has discarded outside furniture and step ladders which again is not safe for children as there is no door to close it off."
