Guests have had a delightful experience at the Coach House, praising its spaciousness, warmth, and welcoming hosts. The property's location on a working farm offers stunning views and convenient access to transport links. The historical charm adds to the comfort, and interactions with animals are a highlight for families. Some minor maintenance issues were noted but did not significantly detract from the overall enjoyment.
Guests that stayed at this property said
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score.
The property's location is highly praised for its beautiful views and convenience to central highways, making it perfect for guests' needs.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the house roomy, contributing to a relaxing stay. The historical aspect of the house also added to the comfort level.
The property is well-equipped and warm, with a few minor plumbing issues that are being addressed. The outside space, although not used by one guest, is considered an asset.
Hosts are commended for their warm welcome and accommodating nature, especially towards children. The mention of a lit fire and essentials for tea suggests a thoughtful touch, although such gifts are not guaranteed.

Great central location for our visits to family and friends. Warm welcome from owner who is on hand for any issues. Didnât get chance to use the outside space but looks great. Couple of issues with plumbing which the owner told us about on arrival - caused us no real inconvenience and due to be sorted imminently. The option to arrange a welcome pack with some essentials would be a good option if possible. Thanks for a great stay

Greeted with a lit fire and the essentials ready for a cup of tea after a long journey! Hosts were so so welcoming to us, especially the children and could not have done more for us. Anytime we needed something they did everything they could to accommodate us. Looking forward to revisiting next time we come back to Ireland!
