I stayed here with my partner recently whilst visiting friends in the area as I used to live in Derby for 34 years and now live in Suffolk. The coach house is a lovely old building and has immaculate gardens back and front. We were greeted on arrival with a warm welcome from the owner Beverley. Our room was spotlessly clean, with an enormous bed and lovely white bed linen. The room was tastefully decorated with oak furniture and an ensuite bathroom, with all the toiletries you could wish for. Cotton buds and cotton face pads too if you have forgotten your own. There was a Hair dryer and Ironing board in the room, television, free Wi-Fi. The tea tray was full of different coffees tea and sweet treats which were all yummy. Breakfast the following morning was a perfectly cooked, piping hot full English, with excellent quality, locally sourced ingredients. There is fresh fruit, cereal, yoghurts, juice, home-made jam, and bottles of water. There is nothing to want for. (My gluten intolerant partner was also well catered for) Beverley is a perfect host and is so easy to get on with. It is so nice to be able to chat to people you have just met and feel like you have known them for years. I have travelled a lot over the years and am very critical, but honest. I have to say that we had a perfect nights sleep and did not leave hungry. If you want to stay somewhere in a nice little village with plenty to see, close to the city and local amenities in a place that feels like a home from home. (but you don't have to do the washing up or make your own bed) then this is the place for you. I am at a loss to think of anything else we could have wanted! Excellent all round and definitely one to return to.…

Well a very big thank you for telling future guests exactly what to expect here at The Coach House, what a fabulous review. Many people ask me if it's hard to get people to write reviews and I always answer the same. I never ask people to write a review, it has to be a personal choice, but it is so lovely to read them when they do take time out to write one. I really do appreciate it. I will just keep working to offer the same service to every guest who would like to stay at The Coach House. Thank you so much for this and I do hope to see you both again soon. Kind regards Beverley

On a return visit to picturesque Derbyshire village Melbourne we stayed for the first time at The Coach House on the main street. This is a small guest house, clean and comfortable, with just six rooms but a big welcome from owner Beverley and an easy, enjoyable stay on offer. Our room was traditional and pleasant and the siting of The Coach House at the quieter end f the main street ideal for our visit to Melbourne Hall's annual comedy festival a brisk 10-minute walk away. What marks this guest house as outstanding though was the breakfast - plenty of choices, basically all you can eat and nice touches like fresh bread, butter in big slices in a pot, jams and marmalade and plenty of toast. We went for a full English and weren't disappointed - tasty bacon and sausage, beans and tomato and I opted for scrambled egg which was plentiful, light and fluffy. Beverley is friendly and pleasant and we really enjoyed our stay. We'll be back next year - if not before - and feel reassured of another lovey stay.…

Wow thank you for taking the time to write a review. I am so pleased that you once again enjoyed your stay with us. It was a great weekend again, the Comedy Festival is not to be missed. Melbourne has so much for people to do throughout the year. I am so pleased that you found our Breakfast to your liking. It's always nice to start the day off well with a great English breakfast. I look forward to welcoming you back for the next comedy festival, if not before! Kind regards Beverley

I stayed here with my teenage daughter whilst visiting my father for a couple of days in May. The room was lovely and clean, the beds comfy, the bathroom was perfect and the little touches like the biscuits with the tea and coffee making facilities were the cherry on the cake. The breakfast was delicious - good choice and quality products, cooked, grilled or fried upon request! Only slight negative is the lack of easy parking - we found a quiet street a short stroll away from the hotel and left our car there without a problem.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us, it's always nice to know that we are doing the right thing for our guests. Who doesn't like a nice chocolate biscuit with their tea? I hope the little treats keep you coming back! As you found our car park is small but I try to manage it so everyone can park and get out when they need to, but if you prefer there is always unrestricted parking on the road. I hope that we will see you again when you are back in the UK visiting. Kind regards Beverley

I've have been staying at The Coach House for a number of years to attend motorsport events at Donington Park and every stay has been perfect. Beverley is the perfect host and always makes you feel welcome and is happy to assist with anything (even supplying garden wire to fix some tent poles during a previous stay). The breakfast is great and the rooms are clean and very comfortable. I always tell everyone I know what a lovely place it is to stay so thought I would put this online too. Looking forward to mu next stay in July already.

I stayed here for a couple of nights with my grandson who is a vegan. The rooms were perfectly prepared and have very comfortable beds. Our hostess, Beverly, did everything she could to make our stay enjoyable, gave us very useful local information and bought in non-dairy milk especially for my grandson’s breakfast. I highly recommend The Coach House as a place to stay in Melbourne.

I have stayed here many times over the years. Very handy off street parking, very clean, comfy beds with excellent duvet. The owners are very nice and attentive people. I cannot comment on the breakfast, as I'm never up on time 😂, but I'm sure it's lovely.

I stayed here with a good friend, at very short notice, en route to staying with family close by. I had stayed here several times many years ago. Happily it is still run by lovely Beverley, who gives you a warm welcome and she has kept up her very high standards of hospitality. There is nothing that Beverley hasn’t thought about in her immaculate rooms. The breakfast is delicious and contains everything you would want and is cooked to order. 6 stars Beverley and many thanks.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. I think as we are small, single guests staying can feel at home in our house. I do enjoy welcoming guests who are working in the area or here visiting family or for pleasure. So pleased that you enjoyed the Super king sized bed. Although our carpark is small it does the trick providing off road parking which is always helpful in these small market towns. I hope that we will see you again in 2022. Kind regards Beverley
