The Coach House Inn

We've just spent a night here and found the hotel delightful. A lovely room, very pleasant staff and excellent food. We enjoyed a quiet stay, were not hurried in any way. Laid back, just what we wanted. Thank you. Chris and Karen.

A warm welcome when we arrived, with a cup of tea. Comfortable bed in a room in the old part of the building. Great meal in the evening, with some very good beer. The chef cooked a brilliant breakfast to order in the morning. Very handy from the A1, and close to Rutland Water, where we had a lovely day cycling.

On our home from France we needed an overnight stop that did an evening meal in this area. The Coach House inn was the only one that met our needs. The evening meal was very good, originally one of us chose a roast pork Sunday dinner but that turned out not to be available along with the chicken. We were offered an off menu option of lamb which turned out to be a great choice it was delicious and a large portion. My partners fish and chips was also excellent. Emma served us with our breakfast which she cooked herself. This is possibly one of the best breakfast we have had in an English Inn. Emma was an excellent host and we enjoyed her company when we were there.

My wife and I had a great stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food (dinners and breakfasts) were excellent. They also served real ale! The room was good and clean. Its location looks isolated but everything around Rutland Water, Stamford etc. is very easy to get to and is actually in a good position for visiting places around the area. The only negative for us was that although the bath came with a shower you could not stand up to have a shower due to the low ceiling above it. But I would still give it top marks and would recommend it and be happy to stay again.

I would highly recommend The Coach House Inn. I was actually ill when I stayed there and found the entire staff (from the Managers to the Housekeepers) to be the kindest, most helpful and loveliest of people. I stayed in a couple of rooms and found both to be clean, well equipped, cosy and good value for money (unfortunately, I can’t speak for the food or the bar). Thank you to the staff who looked after me. I will definitely return if I am in that part of the country.

Positives . staff very pleasant, friendly and helpful. Beautiful village. Excellent quality food. Room too small for an easy chair.....desk chair needed repair and creaked every time it was used Bed was too low.... for us......everyone's needs are different. Pillows too hard... seemed petty to mention it. Due to the architecture the room had very high windows leaving the room very dark with most light coming from 2 large bedside lamps. Sadly I have evening vision issues and needed to use my phone torch for enough light to read in bed. Ensuite very small and not cleaned during our stay. But it was only 3 nights. No long life milk was provided with the tea and coffee. We had to ask for some and were given a small bottle of fresh milk which of course went off overnight in this heat.....so no early morning tea! Breakfast was the huge disappointment......so highly reviewed but no one mentioned it was cooked breakfast only. No cereals, muesli, yoghurt etc. For starters small bowl of lovely fresh fruit and 2 small pastries. ...we don't eat pastries except maybe at teatime!!!! Did talk to staff about this and the chef very kindly gave me a larger bowl of fruit. Final disappointment was the coffee .. it was delicious, but was made by the cup full, not served in a jug or cafetier. It took so long for the decaff to filter through that I felt very awkward asking for a refill. Lastly the room was perfectly clean but the stairs and landing and general paintwork were sadly tired and needed a good clean and refresh. All very critical but Emma and Tim and her staff were lovely and tried their best to help us. Lovely stay for some people, just not for us. So sorry Emma 🙏
