The Jack and Jill Coaching Inn

Breakfast was good but took a while to come

No lights in room on first evening, lights had fused and no one on site to fix. No wardrobe in room. Hotel was advertised as having restaurant that did evening meals. We stayed 3 nights, kitchen closed at 4pm on 2 nights and wasn’t open at all on the last evening. Hotel was not near any other establishments to get food on an evening, should be advertised as a B&B only

Nothing

Room was warm but they provided a fan would have been better if they had provided just a sheet too the quilt was too thick. England football game went off half way through

N/a

Checked it and was told the last dinner service was 5 PM so had to go elsewhere as this was too early. At about 10:30, there was a power cut /surge so the emergency lighting came on in the room and of course the fan stopped working. Had to open the windows wide to get some breeze and relief from the heat. But this meant we were woken up early because of the sunlight so didn’t sleep well. No power meant no TV, no drinks and getting a shower in the dark. Breakfast wasn’t too bad but everyone was talking about the power cut and talking to someone else that stayed the week before as well said he didn’t have a good visit then either as water was flooding the place. Totally tired out so had to go home early as we were too tired to complete our plans.

The access to our rooms!! We were situated at the very top of the “Jack and Jill Coaching Inn” and had to walk up 31 stairs to get to our room!! If you have any difficulty with mobility issues then this can become a little challenging!! Because of the nature and age of the beautiful building (17th century) there unfortunately is not a lift for people who find the many stairs challenging.

Hit and miss with evening meals and bar due to staffing issues but Sam and Robbie let us know about this.It’s a shame as it’s losing business and it’s position is prime.Would have liked to have known how busy (24 hours) the road outside was.In the room there is a green light in the ceiling which is so bright the room is lit up all night and disturbed our sleep.Not comfortable no staff on site overnight.

We arrived to be greeted by someone doing an impression of a grumpy teenager and to be told (after an 8 hour drive and arriving just after 6pm) that the kitchen had closed at 5pm on a Friday evening! We were then told we would have to drive somewhere to get food and the bar in the so-called "Coaching Inn" would be taking last orders at 9.30. So our plans to have a relaxing meal and drink after a long drive were shattered.

Last orders for evening meal was 5pm so quite early, particularly for a Saturday night.

There wasn't a wardrobe or drawers in the bedroom - just 3 hooks - so unsuitable for a long stay.

No evening meal

No evening meal service, which we weren't aware of until the day of our visit. you have to travel by car to get an evening meal as this is a rural location.
Also wasn't aware that breakfast wouldn't be served until 8.15 am. Not a problem on this occasion, but normally would have been problematical

Breakfast was ok, the toast was just warm bread...
