    The Coach House – A Stay Full of Charm, Comfort, and Thoughtful Touches

    Nothing

    Our arrival at The Coach House couldn’t have been more delightful — not only were we greeted with warm, smiley faces, but we were thrilled to be upgraded to a huge garden room complete with our own private outdoor space. The décor struck the perfect balance between stylish and cosy, making it feel instantly like a home away from home. One of the highlights was the snug, a charming space offering real milk in little jugs (such a small touch, but it made all the difference to our morning tea!), an honesty bar with beer on tap, a great selection of spirits and wine, and the ultimate temptation — complimentary homemade brownies and pretzels. Other snacks were available to buy, but with brownies that good, why look further? We also enjoyed a very well-priced bottle of wine from our own mini bar — perfect for a relaxing evening in our private garden. Breakfast the next morning was a treat. My generous portion of smoked salmon with scrambled eggs was superb, while the perfectly poached eggs for my partner were just as memorable. The location is another plus — a lovely walk over to Darley Mill rewarded us with fantastic tapas and a real sense of the area’s charm. From start to finish, the welcome was as wonderful as the setting. The Coach House doesn’t just offer a place to sleep; it delivers an experience filled with thoughtful details, genuine hospitality, and plenty of reasons to return.

    Extensive building work at the neighbouring property meant that we weren't able to make use of the lovely small patio attached to our room or to even open the curtains to the garden during our stay as it was overlooked by workmen, who on one afternoon were taking surveyor images directly outside our patio window. This building work won't go on indefinitely however and if we visit Derby again, we'll definitely rebook at The Coach House.

    Communication prior to stay was really helpful. Welcome on arrival was so friendly. We were shown to our room and given welcome information - along with delicious brownies and some milk for the complimentary hot drinks - which included a cafetière and fresh coffee! The mini fridge had additional reasonably priced snacks, soft and alcoholic drinks. The room was exactly as shown in the photos and had a comfy bed, great shower, lots of storage space and free WiFi. The staff were incredible throughout our stay - nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast on both mornings was divine! Option for both continental and cooked breakfasts, with ample vegetarian/vegan options. Snug available in the evenings with a self-serve bar. One of the best places we've ever stayed. Recommend without hesitation.

    Have to pay £10 to reserve parking, the twin room is quite small and has a poor view (over neighbours drive). Could also hear neighbours a bit, just walking and getting in and out - thin walls I think.

    Unique place to stay, nice garden to chill in, breakfast was amazing and host was lovely. Also free pretzels and brownies and bar area.

    Parking a bit of a challenge so you'll need to provide advance warning of arrival and there are limitations in facilities (it's not a hotel, more boutique B&B) but the lovely garden and seating area make up for it.

    What a lovely place to stay, the first at this high standard that I have found in Derby where I come regularly for work. I'll definitely be coming again.

    Nothing much. I think that paying an extra £10 to park the car is a bit of a cheek considering this is already an expensive night, on par with a Radisson hotel.

    This is a very nice bed and breakfast, our room at the top of a small building in the garden was lovely, beautifully decorated and bright. The bathroom was also lovely. Breakfast was really good and the lady who welcomed us in was very nice and gave us good advice for where to go for dinner.

    £10 per night to reserve a parking space felt abit steep. The main house stairs were rather dark.

    Staff were excellent. Very helpful and welcoming. Couldn't do enough for us. Knowledgeable about the house history. Excellent food. Loved the complimentary brownies and milk...
