    Cosy room right under the roof. Very friendly staff in the coachmakers arms and in the restaurant on the other side of the road. The restaurant can be recommended. One of the best we had during our trip.

The Coachmakers Arms is a 17th Century building that was originally two cottages adjoined to a sweet shop. Charlie's Sweet Shop was acquired and added much later, providing an additional area to the pub and three B&B rooms. The pub is full of character and traditional pub charm with a lovely ambience and large courtyard garden with some cover and heaters.

We are not a gastro pub, but serve the best pizzas you can imagine from our stone-bake oven alongside a selection of sharing dishes to enjoy with a glass of your favourite tipple. The sun trap garden is a beautiful space which can be enjoyed whatever the weather, with cover and heating to keep you warm and dry. Please note, there is no private car park. However, there are several large public car parks in the vicinity.
