While some minor issues with facilities and maintenance are noted, the overall experience is very positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Reviews consistently mention that The Coach House is spotlessly clean, with several guests highlighting the tidiness and welcoming presentation upon arrival. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the positive experiences reported.

Comfort is a strong point for The Coach House, with guests finding the beds very comfortable and the accommodation spacious and airy. Some guests mention issues with heating and garden furniture comfort, but these are relatively minor compared to the overall comfort experienced.
While the property is generally well-equipped, several reviews point out issues with kitchen equipment, outdated leaflets, and some maintenance needs like the dishwasher and patio set. These comments suggest room for improvement in updating and maintaining facilities.
Guests often mention thoughtful touches such as fresh flowers and the provision of essentials, which add to the welcoming atmosphere. However, it is politely noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.
