Fabulous find in a pretty village in the heart of the Shropshire countryside. Very friendly, helpful & efficient staff. Rooms were nicely decorated (with Welsh tapestry blankets & cushions) & well stocked with top quality toiletries & sundries & fresh milk & homemade cookies for your room on arrival. Fabulous meal in cosy restaurant next to one of 2 log burners & chef catered superbly for 1 of our party who had specific dietary requirements (with prior notice). Meals were beautifully balanced & presented with many complimentary little extras (canapes & palette cleansers served before & during the meal & petit fours after (for the 'birthday boy in our party). Good choice of wines which were reasonably priced & breakfasts were superb (especially loved the poached pears with fresh yoghurt). Chef makes everything homemade - bread, butter, granola, preserves, petit fours. Can't wait to return & would definitely recommend this place to anyone celebrating anything or wanting a special meal or just passing through Shropshire.

Great Sunday lunch here. The ingredients are locally sourced and the cooking excellent. Good wine list too. Service informal and friendly. Out of the way but definitely worth searching out.

We have just returned from a lovely weekend at the Coach House. Service was excellent from the minute we got there. The food was amazing ranging from lovely cooked breakfasts (recommend the breakfast Hash) to superb evening meals (Ham Hock starter and Beef Rib main were both excellent) with the most unusual and tasty Apple Crumble. Bar was well stocked and was nice to be able to get a decent pint after our walk. Room was good with comfy bed and an excellent shower and it was so quiet. Good location in a lovely part of the world close to Bishops Castle and around 30 minutes from Shrewsbury. Was nice to be able to take our Labrador dog with us and not worry about offending people as we ate in a separate area. Can?t wait to return

Been several times recently, both lunch and dinner, with friends and with family. Excellent value for money with fabulous food and impeccable service. Great wine suggestions and Ben has even had my favourite chilling ready for me. Here are photos of two of my courses from my lunch on the 6/12 :Scallop ceviche and their derivative of Xmas Pudding. Had the venison requested medium for my main. My friend had the best gluten and dairy free meal out ever, she said, having called ahead to notify the kitchen of her requirements and finding she had a choice on the first two courses. Well done, have seen you go from strength to strength over the last year, and look forward to coming back for my birthday celebration when you reopen in February.

We first visited in June this year for my partner's birthday - and were stunned by the incredible quality of the cooking and the wonderful front of house service provided by Ben and his excellent team, This time we went for my own big day - and although we made sure we didn't get too excited beforehand, just in case it didn't live up to last time. We needn't have worried on that front - it surpassed last time's experience even further! Young Harry's cooking really is a class above and encompasses flair, passion and great skill in equal measure. If cuisine was football - he'd be on a par with a young Lionel Messi! Thanks again to Ben and his lovely staff for looking after us so well during our (overnight) stay and thanks too to Harry for coming out after service and letting us slur our appreciation of the evening to him. Whilst we're happy on one hand to learn that this fine young man, after years of hard graft, is taking time out to go traveling and enjoy himself for a while, we're at the same time (selfishly on our part) quite sad that we won't be indulging in his sumptuous culinary skills any time soon :( We'd like to wish him all the very best in his new adventures and say that whoever takes over his post has a very very hard, nigh on impossible job of filling his supremely talented shoes.

Third time we have stayed, room, service and food was excellent, since the last time we stayed Sean the owner has now employed Ben to run the bar and restaurant and he has certainly made a positive difference, like Sean he is very friendly and Ben is very knowledgeable about food and wine. Goes without saying we will be back

Exceptional meal at the Coach House this lunch time, the four of us couldn?t fault it. Also helpful recommendations on wine selection by the guy who runs the Restuarant. One of the best restaurants in South Shropshire... relaxed, unpretentious, warm and atmospheric. Be back very soon.

It is rare that I feel compelled to write a review on any platform; however, I am inspired to on this occasion, just in case you are passing The Coach House - I strongly recommend you give it a try. We live locally and had not previously eaten at The Coach House, but friends recommended it, so we thought we would give it go - they were right, it is superb. We were made to feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived, and settled down to enjoy the elegantly simple Sunday Roast menu. Most of us had 3 courses and the food was all excellent - lovingly prepared, very fresh, unpretentious yet with touches of sophistication. The starters and sweets were exceptional, with subtle elements of invention and taste combinations. The mains were perfect, wholesome roasts with a delightfully presented combination of veg, all expertly cooked. I think you can tell when food is prepared with a desire to achieve excellence, and that was the sense I got from all of the food. The whole experience was completely relaxed and felt rather special. I strongly recommend The Coach House - we will be back, soon.

well where do we start.... myself and my family have been several times in recent weeks. The building and surrounding areas is somewhat beautiful and the food is delicious and of very high standards the chef there has serious culinary talent. the hospitality of Ben and his front of house staff is second to none. it's difficult to find a restaurant that really does tick all the boxes. look forward to returning for our anniversary.

The Coach House is in the middle of nowhere - beautiful surroundings. Norbury is a tiny village which lies to the west of the Long Mynd. Excellent spot for walkers. We had a very nice & clean room with superking bed and ensuite. The staff were very helpful, particularly Ben. Unfortunately we were not able to stay for an evening meal as we were attending a function elsewhere - but heard they are well known locally for the restaurant.

We stayed here recently due to the proximity as we were attending a wedding locally . We were housed in an annexe room which was accessed from outside via a few steps I booked this accommodation months ago and was asked when I phoned which room I?d like I had a choice I did not choose to sleep outside in the annexe of that I?m sure . The room was comfortable well equipped main problem was tepid shower which we reported on first morning not only that on the next morning shower temp still tepid apparently it had been reported but obviously not fixed . Most unsatisfactory and unfortunately it has tarnished our experience at the Coach House

Rare night out so wanted to ensure a wonderful night out. Welcoming team but if last minute booking suggest ring to confirm booking. Faultless. Good food and summer menu with lovely wine. Back soon we hope for more.
