Host Stay The Coach House

n/a

nothing

Position of the property was excellent. Rooms large and clean

Lack of basics - not even a dishcloth to wash dishes - had to use the dishwasher for just the cups and glasses. Access to property was over grass / mud - meant difficult to not trample mud in to the property especially with dogs. We were also told the property was dog friendly - however on arrival we found that dogs were not allowed upstairs - not easy when they are in a strange property and are used to sleeping in the bedroom.

Great facilities and the location is stunning

Lovely character property with good-sized bedrooms

Beautiful property. Great views, comfy sofas and plenty of lounge seating for a large group. Loved the stone staircase.

Showers wouldn’t switch between rainfall and handheld. Not enough toilet roll / dishwasher tablets / tea towels provided.

Beautiful property and perfect location.

No welcome pack with local amenities, WiFi info etc

Location is amazing. Beautiful views from the rooms especially at sunset. Living room was large lots of room to sit. Kitchen had all the facilities we needed (apart from salt and pepper but we should have brought our own). You have to drive through the arch to get to the house which seemed wrong at the time but we were amazed that it was where we were staying. There is a sightseeing bus that drops you off at the abbey if you can’t walk the 199 steps up or down but it costs £8 for 24 hours. Bedrooms were large and comfy beds. Liked how the living room and kitchen had a door we could shut to keep the kids in one area. The stairs are quite steep and stone so you have to be careful with little ones.

The top bedroom windows didn’t open. This was ok as it wasn’t too warm when we stayed but any hotter and that room would have been uninhabitable. I did send a message asking if these opened but didn’t get an answer. Also noticed a lot of dust on the beams (especially in that top bedroom). More than one key would be helpful.

We loved the location and views. There's plenty of life around the Abbey during the day and quiet at night, made for a pleasant atmosphere. The property catered well for 7 adults and one child, we never felt on top of one another.

We were lucky to have such wonderful weather but the two attic rooms were too hot at night. There was only one skylight operational which didn't help. A fan in each room would be welcome next time. Being an avid gardener I felt sad that the rear garden had not been kept to the standard in the publicity material. It didn't distract from the comfort of the property but would have made a better first impression on arrival.

Lovely old house, part of a terrace of Buildings within the Abbey complex. Our party consisted of 4 friends and we all had a room and toilet of our own . Facilities were very good, the location is stunning, The Harbour in front of you, the Abbey behind. The 200 steps up and down to town may be a challenge for some, but there's an alternative route with only 60 steps nearby. Parking for 2 vehicles on site, would happily visit again

A few posts have mentioned the showers are quite stiff to turn on, we also found this to be the case. I appreciate it's not easy to do work when you have rapid turn round of guests, but it will continue be an issue for older clients i think.
