Top class accomadation. High standard with everything. Beautifull surroundings. Swimming pool was a delight. Smart tv was a must with kids. We did zip world. Caves with the most dinosaurs i have ever seen on our day out. Went down a coal mine which was so good. Beautifull canel behind house. Massive garden. The kids did not want to go home. If you book this you will not be dissapointed.

This is my second time back to the Coach House. This time with my friend and her children. We enjoyed horse riding, walking the Canal and of course the pool. The children had a wonderful time. Helen has put a lot of thought and care into every part of the Coach House. It is clean, very well organised and beautifully presented. Little extra things that I thought were wonderful. - Selection of books - Games - Blankets- Guide books both for the house and the local area - History information on the area - Fresh herbs from Helen’s garden ( I grow my own at home and didn’t expect to get this while staying away ) - Fresh milk Would definitely return again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Coach House. The accommodation was immaculate and we had everything we could possible need. The children loved the pool and we were fortunate to have amazing weather. We would love to stay again and would definitely recommend to others. Thank you Helen and Nick for your warm welcome and beautiful house!
