What Our Guests Say

The Coach House is the best equipped self catering cottage we have ever stayed at

The Coach House is the best equipped self catering cottage we have ever stayed at. The kitchen is of the highest quality and the downstairs wet room/loo are fantastic in that the are wheelchair accessible. The two upstairs bedrooms can be configured as king size doubles or twin bedded which was ideal for 4 male golfers.

It is an extremely comfortable and quiet location

I stayed in the Coach House for two weeks while on a personal writer’s retreat. It is an extremely comfortable and quiet location. My retreat came with meals supplied. The quality of the food is utterly fantastic. I cannot recommend Lowbyer Manor Coach House more highly.
