The Coach house is a lovely large cottage, it is very tastefuly decorated with antiques and paintings. The owners live nextdoor and are helpful without being intrusive.The village is lovely with pretty cottages, some with thatched roofs, there is a cafe which we didn't use. There is also a pub but it is very expensive, fish and chips with mushy peas x 2 and 2 beers was over £60. The Church was closed on Palm Sunday which was disappointing.Nearby the village of Uppington is worth a visit with some nice shops. For a larger town Market Harborough is good. The nearby castle of Rockingham looks impressive but it was closed while we were there as it was early Easter. All in all we had a good week in the coach house it was ideal for exploring the area.
