Chepstow

Additional Notes:	Good, Nice and friendly. Accommodation was acceptable, nice over the top not shabby. Having booked a couple of rooms a week in advance, things were looking good. Arriving at the bar, the staff seemed helpful and quickly showed us to our rooms. Waiting for friends we sampled a few pints from the bar, no problems here and were able to pay the whole lot with one card transaction. Then the fun began. After venturing out into Chepstow, we tried to get back into the Coach and Horses and the UNGODLY hour of ten minutes past midnight. We found the door to be locked, on the door there was an 'after-hours' contact number, which I rang. with this I got mouthful of abuse from the Landlord and the phone promptly disconnected. I re-rang this number trying to explain that I was stopping there but once again, disconnected. As I didn't fancy spending a night in the rain and cold I rang the door bell, repeatedly, and eventually one irate landlord stormed thru' his bar and wrenched the front door open, shouting at us with another mouthful of language. When I eventually pointed out HIS notice on HIS door, he mumbled something and disappeared off upstairs. Apart from this, the C&H is a good little stopover in a nice little town but as for the landlord, I wouldn't give him the pleasure of Your custom. (Mac)
	Only wish I'd read your comments earlier. Ten of us booked in Sat 26thFeb (b&b) and arrived at 5pm to spend the whole evening in there and spend a whole lot of dosh too. Only to be told at 11:20pm drink up and go to bed. The landlord and his son were a disgrace to the trade. Happy to take your money but not happy to be accommodating. Subsequently at 1am and SIX police cars later we were all kicked out onto the street. Thanks a million I personally had travelled from Spain for this trip. Mine and my friends only regret was not running up a tab on the rooms as a free night beckoned. I can only suggest no-one book here as there are far more pleasant surroundings just around the corner at The Chepstow Hotel. (Russ Wells - 2/3/05)
	We were visiting Wales on holiday and stayed at the coach and horses for two nights, and I must say what a lovely stay we had. Friendly bar staff who guided us through their range of beers (6) and really just made us feel welcome. We paid Ł50 per night for our double which was quite quaint and at breakfast the next morning we were shocked (pleasantly) to find we were in the 'Africa room', artefacts from all over Africa were stuffed in the dining room. Very different indeed. Their Rev. James ale was absolutely superb, I'm going to encourage my local to try it. The bar manager did tell me he was going to lose one ale and have a scrumpy cider on for the summer. (11/5/05)
	Having stayed at the Coach and Horses over the weekend to attend the racing I'm shocked to see these comments. We were treated perfectly well, and we enjoyed our stay immensely. My wife and I managed to try all the ales between us and they really were kept in top condition. The staff seemed quite knowledgeable and the Landlords son even showed us around the cellar the next morning after breakfast. The one down point was that we had 'noisy neighbours' in the room next door, but I suppose that could happen anywhere (and they did apologise to us over breakfast). All in all we enjoyed our stay and we will be back. One tip: don't let them con you into having one of their South African spirits, they are blooming potent. (Henri Hond - 13/6/05)
