Convenient for a wide choice of places to eat in Wallingford ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Susan Jan 19, 2025 Bedroom very small . Bathroom size adequate but sink did not drain well and toilet had weak, inadequate flush. Had to access room by narrow steep staircase via the garden. Garden sounds good but just area of outside tables for the smokers. Breakfast was served at restaurant opposite The Royal. Breakfast was good. Wish we had stayed there. ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Cheryl May 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Seemed a bit busy/disorganised during the booking and payment process so I was a little worried but it seemed this was due to a change of management and all was fine. If fact, they were very helpful in amending our booking and carrying luggage etc. The room was quaint and quirky, quite quiet and comfortable. ##### Cheryl Stayed 1 night in May 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Cristina Apr 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very nice and cozy bedroom at the top floor of the building. everything was clean and cozy! Surrounding area does not allow you to park. Check out: no instruction on where to leave the keys... Overall, I would very recommend it! ##### Cristina Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Nov 16, 2024 Disliked: Room comfort I stayed three nights and each night woke uo 3-4am because of the cold. No heating and i needed all clothes to go through the night. Very unpleasant and not providing the rest I needed during my business trip. Not sure if i use the app wrong, but mo ody reacted to my message asking for longer heating. The room was spacious and clean. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Yvonne Dec 9, 2025 Liked: Staff & service My wife and I arrived late on a Sunday evening. We had booked the 2+1 bed room above the pub. We had a warm, friendly greeting in the bar. However…the room wasn’t worn, it was decrepit and extremely uninviting (for example, the shower over the bath was dribbling and couldn’t be turned off, the bath stained and green from an apparent tap leak, the shaver light broken with a dirty, ripped off switch cord – and there was no heating, so presumably no hot water). When we complained, the staff disclosed that the heating had been broken for two days, which we had not been warned about. They offered a small, portable fan heater, but it was December, and cold, so we said that we would leave (my wife was ill). They checked to see if there was a room available across the street, and we were ushered to a room that was in complete contrast. This was warm, modern and well equipped (even a nice Nespresso machine). However, we were told that the pub had stopped serving food altogether. I do not know when and if the (three) rooms above the pub will be renovated. The sign in the modern room across the road (one of four) is marked “The Royal”, and the wifi code also suggests that brand. Although the staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful (Maz and Max), the lovely Arts and Crafts wallpaper shown in the photographs had been painted over, and, as mentioned, there was no food available at all. Things seem to have changed, so get written confirmation of exactly what is on offer beforehand! ##### Yvonne Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Aug 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Coachmakers Arms, or CAT to the locals, proved to be an excellent location for a stopover. The building is very old and full of character. Our room was at the top of a flight of stairs that was located in the attic. The room was spacious with a separate room for the sizeable bathroom. Dogs are permitted and our Golden Retriever was welcomed by the locals and landlady. The bar is small but full of character and atmosphere, the day of our stay the weekly quiz was being held. The bar was packed which is obviously a good sign. We chose to locate the small garden out the back and enjoyed a selection of beverages before retiring for a good night's sleep. If you are visiting Wallingford or the surrounding area we would recommend staying at The Coachmakers Arms. Remember this is an old building full of character so enjoy the experience that many before will have done. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Robin Jul 11, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Delightful stay The welcome was good, and assistance was given with taking our luggage up the stairs. Room 2 is a good size with an amazingly comfortable large bed. The towels are large, and the toiletries good enough. Best of all, they are not attached to the wall. Great hot water in a bath or shower, with a safety mat. Fridge, tea, coffee, kettle and biscuits. Nice hanging space and hooks as well. Two issues that needs to be dealt with...the stairs are narrow and steep with poor lighting. The latter just needs adjusting. Check in is at 3.00 when the pub opens. It's not clear how to manage an early check-in or leaving luggage as the accommodation has changed hands. Some further information is needed for guests who booked under the previous ownership. I'd stay at the Coachnans Arms again...and again. Oh, lots of eating places nearby! ##### Robin Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Charlotte Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Pretty reasonably priced shops around the area especially the community shop.
