The Coach and Horses Inn

The Coach and Horses made our quick one-night trip feel like a real treat. Prices are kept low and affordable, yet the whole experience felt luxurious. I’ve stayed in some Premier Inns that were disgusting enough for me to ask for a refund. The owner texted to ask when we expected to arrive, so the room was ready. Check-in was quick, and we were given two keys so we could come and go as we liked. We were also shown where the disabled long-stay parking was. On the bed there was a welcome booklet with emergency contacts, local history, and a map of things to see and do, which helped us plan our second day. We put it in the dressing table drawer when we left. The owners clearly take pride in this property, which has a long and fascinating history. The owner explained the old England and Wales borders, as the place is on Welsh Street. Everything was clean and tidy. Our twin room was spacious and had a huge smart TV with Netflix, YouTube, and other apps. You can sign in to your own accounts, just remember to log out. There was a choice of tea and coffee, a coffee pod machine, and a kettle. The towels were clean and fluffy, the beds comfortable, and the sheets good quality. Cute little blankets added a homely touch. The shared bathroom was immaculate, with no damp or mould smell. After getting soaked in Tintern, the shower was wonderful. A small thoughtful extra was that staff gave me a razor and shaving cream when I realised I’d forgotten mine. They also offer other free items on request, like shower caps, shower gel, and toiletries. This would be my first choice for bed and breakfast if I’m in the area again.
