1 The Old Coach House Reviews

Carolyn
The property was clean, well equipped, and well maintained. It is in an excellent location. We would stay again. Not complaint, but just to be aware, main bedroom is right on street and busy road so just be aware of that if youre a light sleeper. Only minor thing for us was main bedroom was boiling in covers and cold out. Not sure if it was the bedding but it did affect sleep for us both as we were too hot or too cold all night.
