The Coach House in Great Easton was perfect in every way. It is very spacious, comfortable and warm and the owners are delightful. The property is beautifully furnished with antique furniture and paintings. Ten out of ten.

A wonderful place to stay! We were amazed just how much room we had at the Coach House. We spent a week at Great Easton walking a cycling (when the very hot weather allowed!). Richard and Virginia, the owners, were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The welcome package of eggs, milk and chocolate buns was a lovely surprise. The location was very central to the main towns and villages of the area. Everywhere we wanted to visit was no more than five to twenty minutes by car.
