The Coachmakers Arms in South Oxfordshire

One of my favourite pubs in Wallingford, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, good beer.

Good friendly local pub. Very nice courtyard/garden for summer

Always a very decent pint and welcoming atmosphere - recommend a pint of the gravity.

Nice room, quiet pub, nice decor.

We just spent 4 nights at the coach makers arms. As soon as we entered the building we were made to feel welcome. Fabulous friendly atmosphere, we were shown to our room, which was nicely decorated and lovely and clean. Plenty of piping hot water, lovely comfortable bed, white fluffy towels and added bonus of a small fridge. Nothing was too much trouble. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we would highly recommend and when in Wallingford we would definitely stay again.

Best pub in Wallingford, best pub dog in the world.

Stayed here recently. A beautiful and characteristic pub in a wonderful part of Oxfordshire. Lynne and Luke are great hosts. Rooms are lovely and the food is great. Highly recommended

I must like it I go there every afternoon its open

Homely pub with locals visiting and a beautiful dog. Lynn was very welcoming, room was comfortable, ate in the evening a delicious pizza and joined in the quiz night (which we expertly lost, claiming we didn’t want to win in case the prize was a case of beer…). Breakfast in the morning was a good full English, setting us up for another day of walking. Definitely recommend.

We stayed here overnight while walking the Thames Path. We stayed in the Royal over the road which is also run my Lynne. Lynne was very friendly and the rooms in the royal were beautifully renovated. We had a cooked breakfast which we pre-booked the night before and was delicious. We stayed when it was particularly hot and the fans in the rooms were brilliant.

Ftiendly service, good pint of cask ale. However, still children in thr bar taking up seating in the evening.

We went in to watch Mystery at the end of a brilliant weekend at Bunkfest. There was no room to sit near the band but we could hear them from the incredibly comfy leather sofa inside.

We stayed here overnight in the 3 available bedrooms. They were all very clean and comfortable. As we were going to a wedding locally we needed to leave our luggage earlier than the 3 pm check in. Lynn was very welcoming and accommodating The breakfast was ample and very tasty. Beau the border collie kept us entertained. We parked our car at the cattlemarket car park.

Lynne made us feel very welcome and the room (#3) was compact but had everything we needed, including a fan which was a boon in the hot and humid weather. The breakfast was excellent and we had a lovely evening meal in The Royal directly across the road, which is also owned by them and has been newly refurbished.

Only had a non alcohol beer but nice place and friendly.

Coat traditional pub with friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere

Always a warm welcome from Lynne. Great pub and food. Bow is a bonus 🐕x

Lynne and her staff were absolutely lovely. I stayed for the night for a family event. I stayed in room 1 attic, the room was lovely, would of given a 5 but unfortunately the bed was very uncomfortable, and the shower had very little pressure. Them things aside the room was lovely and clean, and warm. My daughter enjoyed playing with family pub dog bow which was the highlight of her visit. All staff was very welcoming and helpful. I will be returning again

Great pub in the tradition of English ale houses - they are in dwindling supply. Clientele friendly, warmly welcoming and open. Plenty of genuine conversation and humour. Beer excellent - clean pipes. Sausage and mash terrific. Service swift. As Michelin would say: "vaut le voyage" - go out of your way to make a special visit.

Stopped briefly for a drink whilst walking the Thames Path. Warm welcome from the landlady and nice pint of Gravity in a cosy environment.

Very friendly pub with very friendly sraff and great beer.

Such a friendly pub found by accident while waiting for a taxi. Lovely bar man Luke, quick drinks, nice decor. Amazing owner Julie so kind and helpful thank you a million!!!

Family and dog friendly pub in the middle of Wallingford. Warm welcome and cosy. Toys and games and reasonably priced.

I had such a lovely stay here, I wish I were better at names but all the staff I met were brilliant. Beds are so comfy

Enjoyed the set by the excellent Bow and Box as part of Wallingford's Bunkfest. Very friendly and fine ales.

Clean, comfortable room with a big bed and lovely bathroom. Landlady was very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast not included in my stay and I left early so didn’t try.

We had a nice meal at The Coachmakers Arms last night. It is a lovely friendly pub with a good choice of wines (including Prosecco by the glass 🥂). Our group had halloumi fries (delicious, and home), made pizza, pasta and burrito which we all really enjoyed. The only downside (hence the 4 stars) is they didn't do any desserts. I had the small pizza so I could fit in a dessert so was disappointed. Overall though we really enjoyed the evening and highly recommend it.

Great pub with good ales and friendly staff. Nothing is too much trouble.

Blue the pubs dog is the star .

Lovely little pub and nice prices 👍 👌🏽

Extremely clean and tidy and well presented pub. Food delicious and good quantity, very friendly staff and locals are welcoming with a nice outside beer garden. Also have rooms to rents which are also beautifully decorated and comfortable. I recommend this place 100%

Lovely lady, good service. The dog is also cute.

A small, nice country style homely pub with stove fires, lovely staff, a nice choice of drinks & dog friendly!

We stayed here in 2015 and I am finally writing a review. We stayed in the flat above the bar. If memory serves, the owners had just purchased it and were in the midst of updating the accommodations. Back then it was pretty rough but we loved it. It looks as though they have made it much nicer. The one thing that stands out was the owner (or was it the owners father?) we got to talking and he ended up buying my drinks until closing time. If when we make another trek from Northern California, we will stay again.

A warm, friendly pub with a beautiful interior and gorgeous pub dog. The landlady and staff are welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be staying again!

Lovely pub, good pint and very nice friendly staff

As a break on the Thames path, we stayed in this stunningly decorated pub/hotel. Attention to detail and the attentiveness of the owner (Lynn) were brilliant. Such a warm welcome and great food. Real ales well lookes after. One of the best places i have stayed.

Lovely decorated bedrooms. Very good cooked breakfast. Lynne very friendly, great hostess. Excellent seating outside with heaters. And not forgetting lovely Luke!

A really wonderful room where we stayed for one night as part of our Thames Path journey We were made to feel very welcome and also enjoyed a drink or two in the pub garden Thoroughly recommended

Stayed here for one night when walking the Thames Path, unfortunately it was one of those very hot days and the rather small room was a bit of an oven, so not much sleep. But we ate and drank there in the evening and had a great breakfast too…

Wonderful bedroom very tastfull decor. Breakfast also good. Can't wait to stay again. Lovely friendly host. Bar area also very nice.

I stayed for one night at The Coachmakers whilst doing part of the Thames Path walk. Communication with Lynne who runs the pub was great from the off. She was able to open up early to allow me to my room which was much needed after a long day of walking and despite not serving food on a Monday night she was happy to rustle something up for me. The bedroom was comfortable and the breakfast excellent - the best of the 3 places I ended up staying at as part of my short trip.

The Coachmaker's Arms has three bedrooms and we as a party booked two of them - bedrooms 1 and 2. Bedroom 1 has a king-sized bed together with a single, suitable for a child, and bedroom 2 has a super king-sized plus a single, or three singles if you prefer. Both bedrooms had a kettle with tea/coffee, a small milk fridge, a TV, and a hairdryer. The en-suite bathroom for bedroom 1 is huge. Bedroom 1 lacks drawer space but that didn't present an issue. There is a good choice of breakfasts including full English and smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, all served fresh. we didn't have the evening meal but can highly recommend the Sunday lunch, which always has a choice of at least two different roasts. The home-made puddings are well worth a go. Lynne, the owner of the Coachmaker's Arms, has a policy of age 25+ for casual drinkers and no loud music which which makes the bar area very traditional, welcoming and friendly. Everyone seems to be on first name terms. Hotel guests are, of course, excluded from the 25+ policy. Precautions are in place to prevent the spread of covid. A word of warning - as the bedrooms are on the first floor (bedrooms 2 and 3) and the second floor (bedroom 1), the hotel is not suitable for anyone with restricted mobility. All in all our stay was a very pleasant experience and we hope to return in the future.

Friendly, cosy, great place for a drink and lovely B&B. Lynne and Beau (very friendly dog) make the place.

After checking out most of the run down pubs in Wallingford we were pleased to find this one that looked welcoming and friendly and didn’t smell of frying. The lunch menu was fairly small but the food we had was very tasty. The pub was nicely laid out, it had a chilled area with sofas to relax on and enjoy a drink and also a dinning area and garden.

Had a lovely stay at The Coachmakers Arms. Quirky and really nicely decorated pub. Definitely a pub but also had a coffee-lounge feel. Very friendly and helpful landlady (who has recently taken over the lease). She has clearly put her heart and soul into the place. Lovely breakfast. Great room with a great bathroom - we stayed on the top floor. Location is a couple of minutes to the centre of Wallingford, just off the Thames Footpath. I'd stay again.

What a quaint little gem of a place to stay. Within walking distance to the pretty town of Wallingford and the river Thames. The Coachmakers Arms was taken over in November 2019 by a lovely friendly Landlady called Lynne who couldn't do enough for us. Our room was very clean and comfortable with little extra touches of providing fresh milk in the fridge in the room. The bbq served in the pretty sunlit garden at the rear was delicious.The English breakfast served in the mornings was excellent and I would definitely recommend a stay here to everyone. Good value for money.

We dropped into the Coachmakers Arms for Sunday lunch after a long walk on the ridgeway. As a veggie I was instantly attracted to the range of dishes on the menu and the food turned out to be delicious as well as beautifully presented and excellent value. The pub itself is full of charm and quirky artistic touches, the hostess was lovely and we had a lunch to remember! The ambience was also enhanced by gentle jazz playing in the background. Totally recommended!

Have been down in the Wallingford area over the bank holiday weekend, found this place to stop by and have a drink very friendly staff, the drink was good, the banter and the local were happy to answer questions.

Back on top form Great ales especially the bass Coal fire Friendly landlord Lovely old fashioned pub best in hanley Great for beer and conversation

Stayed here one night whilst locally in business.I was informed they don’t normally serve food on a Monday night but would happily do something for me if I wanted.The ambience was great a few locals and the owners drinking some great ales and having a wonderful evening.A great place to stay and socialise will definately be returning

Brilliant pub, the owners and really great, the pub quiz is a lot of fun and the Sunday roasts are lovely. Definitely, recommend the sticky toffee pudding.

This pub has been under new ownership for just under a year. Josh, Dave and Hayley have turned this venue into a great place to eat and drink. The specials board is a must. Regular live music and quiz nights. Whether you are staying in their B&B or a local, everyone is made to feel welcome and there is a really sociable atmosphere. Good pub garden which catches the sun in the Summer. A brilliant addition to the town.

We were so impressed with the Coachmakers Arms! We're local but haven't been in for a long time. The pub is very clean welcoming and has a great atmosphere. It was a nice day so we sat in the garden which is really lovely. It's a dog friendly pub which is fantastic. My dog became friends with Saffie the pub dog who is absolutely adorable and a real character! The food was tasty and very well priced. There was a good selection of dishes even for me as a fussy veggie! The best part about it is is the fantastic people who run it. They are so friendly welcoming and great fun but at the same time totally professional. The whole family very much enjoyed our lunchtime experience at the Coachmakers and we will all be back again soon! Highly recommend this pub.

Proper roast beef, proper yorkshire puds, proper roast potatoes - what more can you ask for? Oh yes: proper vegetables and horseradish! And really friendly, lovely management. Thankyou :)

Decidimos probar este pub para cenar antes de unirse con el concurso y no nos decepcionó. La comida está recién cocinados a la orden y la semana pasada tuvimos el mejor curry que he tenido en mucho tiempo. El lugar está impecablemente limpio, y Josh y su madre y padre hacer que todos se sientan bienvenidos.

Both of us had the Pork Belly special, well presented but needed some gravy or ju as it was quite dry with just mash, carrots and red cabbage.

Unos amigos me habían recomendado que pruebe el Coachmakers Brazos ahora que hay gente nueva que corren y no nos decepcionó. Habiendo tenido unas copas con los amigos que luego dijo decidimos quedarnos a cenar. Ambos tuvimos el filete que era probablemente el mejor que he tenido en mucho tiempo. Desde el fresco y carnicerías locales en Wallingford. Mi esposa dice que el flan casero pegajosa toffees era divino. En efecto de un entendido en alabanza de postre! ! ! Parece que hemos encontrado otro restaurante local para añadir a nuestra lista. Bien hecho, Josh y su madre y padre para esta ronda.

Family run business. Friendly atmosphere. Nice clean room and pleasant patio garden. Good food and drink. No breakfast served.

Tasty homemade dinners and desserts. Beautifully presented. Meat sourced from local butcher and vegetables bought from local market. Great value for money. Recommend booking a Sunday lunch. Lovely thick slices of meat with homemade, roasties, stuffing and Yorkshires. Yummy!

Tenía un hermoso desayuno con alimentos de calidad y excelentes anfitriones acogedores y muy atento, sin duda relación calidad-precio

No es un buen ambiente creado por los terratenientes. Lamentablemente decepcionante, ya que han sido bien. Un pub tiene que ser acogedor se animo a volver. Muy decepcionante.

A perfect stop for walking TheThames Path. Cosy, clean, comfortable, welcoming and a great breakfast.

This lovely pub used to do lovely Sunday roasts. It, unfortunately didn't take off. Sandwiches only during the week (according to bar man). Both the two bars now have a large TV screen - rugby on loud in main bar and loud pop music in the other bar! What a shame for some of us!If you like loud music in one ear and loud sports in the other - this is the place for you! Enjoy!!!Spoke to landlady who was in a rush to go out as it was their night off said: this is just temporary for now!I hope so as it is a lovely pub. Oh, they don't like it if you ask for the music to be turned down!!!

Had excellent Sunday roast here recently. Ok so no choice of meats but was excellent homemade quality. When not eating the pub is pretty small but inviting. There's a great jukebox and the staff are always friendly. Also good mix of clientele though generally 30+. Nice quiet garden at back for summer. Suffers a bit for being at quiet end of town centre but worth the short walk

We came for a drink and found that the wonderfully friendly owners do lunch on a Sunday. We booked in and we were not disappointed. A beautiful roast dinner with all the trimmings, the best we have had in a very long time. We will definitely book again...

This place has only just been taken over by the wonderfully friendly new owners, but you'd never know, because it already feels like a fantastic place to stay. My room was comfy and quiet, the beer and decor downstairs was great, and a top notch breakfast to boot. Definitely a fantastic option for the weary Walker like me, and I'm sure a good bet for anyone else.

Great venue with very friendly staff.Good menu and excellent value for money.Traditional meals - steaks etc. that are the best cooked in Wallingford.Well worth a visit for local ales.
