It’s Unique, Here's Our Story
Founded in 1996 by Kevin Charity, the Coaching Inn Group began as a family-run business with a big ambition to breathe new life into Britain’s historic inns and hotels.
From its roots in Boston, Lincolnshire, the Group now operates 35 unique properties across the UK. Each one is carefully restored to celebrate its heritage, think oak beams, sash windows, and centuries-old charm, while offering all the modern comforts today’s travellers expect.
At the heart of it all is our belief in “Hospitality from the Heart.” That means caring for our teams like family, working closely with local communities, and making every guest feel truly welcome.
Along the way we’ve picked up some wonderful recognition, named a Which? Recommended Provider for Small Hotel Chains 2024/25, and listed as a Top UK Employer.
We’d love to welcome you on a stay that blends history, warmth and genuine care every time.
