The Coach House Inn

Fabulous, hospitable staff. Lovely cooked breakfast. Great car park. Genuinely dog friendly (owner's dog so sweet). Great value for money and made a change from paying higher prices in Oakham or Stamford or the more 'popular' villages round Rutland Water.

Very friendly and very helpful staff. The locals are also very welcoming. The food was very tasty and good pub food. The breakfast is exceptionally good and value for money at just £15. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The location is great for people travelling long distances and want a break as it is near the motorway. It is difficult to find fault.

Stayed here for one night as a Valentines treat! Arrived early afternoon, managed to sample a couple of pints of 'Timmy Taylor' - excellently kept. Had a pleasant light lunch home made tomato soup & coronation chicken sandwich. Really nice especially accompanied by another couple of Timmy Taylors! This was in the bar area, which is cosy and comfortable. Rooms are comfortable & functional. Tea / Coffee facilities along with sparkling & still water are provided. Very clean rooms. Bathroom shower, no bath . No problem for us. Be aware the ensuite is one person wide. We had an excellent dinner, starter of Chorizo & prawns mixed in with Samphire - wonderful and compliments to the chef. Mains, Seared Salmon & a Steak - again extremely well presented and cooked to perfection. Puddings, can recommend the Lemon Posset or the Sticky Toffee pudding full of taste & just right. Wine selection good, though a tad overpriced a Soto Mayor at £26.00 is a bit of a mark-up! The dining area , is pleasant and casual. The over-riding factor to why this was a good visit is the staff. Engaging, polite and service orientated. I did not get any names unfortunately. The chap that checked us in & served us lunch (I believe quite new) to the lady managing breakfast & chopping wood deserve a pay rise!! Breakfast, excellent portions as in super size. Again a great chef in residence. This establishment is 'dog friendly' I do not have a dog. However, I have and therefore have no issue with dogs or their owners. What I do have an issue with (not the Coach House) is owners finding the necessity to have there dogs in the dining room. This happened at dinner and breakfast. Totally unnecessary. Dogs in the bar , no issues. Maybe the Coach House will consider maintaining a dog friendly environment but no dogs in the dining area would be welcomed. Your thoughts? Overall, nice visit , lovely village & some great walks for all.

Proper local pub with lovely rooms and really good food. The staff were incredibly helpful and really went above and beyond to make my stay a pleasant one. Lots of nice touches, such as fresh milk for tea and coffee in the room which is a lovely touch, and providing a light picnic breakfast as I had to leave early (with no extra charge!!). Also really helpful in advance of my stay, finding me a suitable room for me and my dogs.

A fantastic find and our second visit. As a host myself I can be super critical however it was all just perfect for us Great top quality food and perfectly cooked and presented Attentive staff and owner Nothing to much trouble Great vibe in the bar Restaurant had a lovely homely feel Lovely to see the owners dog enjoying meeting and greeting the guests Fantastic bed and the best nights sleep we’ve had in months!
