We stayed at the coach House Craven Arms Great place apart from the Cooker top oven worked perfectly bottom oven doesnt work the Aga was not hot enough to cook anything so cooking for 17 of us was a struggle I see from previous reviews the cooker was a problem so expected it to be fixed by now Also the heating is on all day long with the room stat set at its lowest position . The hot water is mixing into the cold water so when the toilet was flushed downstairs it was hot also the basin cold tap ran hot needs looking at

This was a great house for a big group of friends. Plenty of room. Nice and warm. Responsive and helpful owners who were close at hand. The house has great character but some may find the amenities a little basic.

I stayed at The Coach House with eight friends and in the 25 years plus our walking group have been together this was one of the best places we have stayed.Plenty of bedrooms, warm and comfortable and very clean and tidy.
