On-site parking is available for four cars at £5 per day, which must be booked in advance. A Tesco Express is located within 100 metres of the property, and the main shopping district is reachable on foot.
Dining & Breakfast
Breakfast is served on Saturdays and Sundays, featuring a unique menu that includes homemade French Crêpes. For other days, guests receive recommendations for nearby cafes and restaurants such as Chatterbox on Castle Street. Special diet menus can be arranged upon request.
Pet-Friendly & Family Amenities
The Coach House welcomes dogs and provides pet-friendly policies without additional charges for the animal. Families have access to board games and an indoor play area. Children can enjoy the spacious family rooms, and the property offers a complimentary laundry service for longer stays.

Guests benefit from express check-in and check-out, with private check-in available for late arrivals.
