Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Everything was fine and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Help was offered to my wife with her bag which was helpful as the old building has narrow corridors and we'll worn stairs

Negative: Nothing in particular but it is the first time that we have been asked to pay a supplement for others in the room which I guess I must have overlooked when booking so this needs to be clearer and also the first time in my life, and I am in my seventies, when we have had to preauthorise a credit card in case we damaged or presumably took something from the premises. I thought this a little strange.

Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: business

Positive: Room is clean and comfortable and has all the equipment you'd expect. Food is excellent and plentiful as well as reasonably priced. There's also a resident dog, who keeps you company during your meal. Its like being at home. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Negative: Nothing to speak of really. Its an old building so stairs and corridor floorboards creak and its a quirky layout, so expect steep stairs, which with a case may need negotiating.

Summary: Great Coaching Inn, close to Sherwood
