The Coachman Inn
1776
A Restaurant & Bar With Rooms

Beautifully located in North Yorkshire a short drive from the East Coast, The Coachman Inn at Snainton (midway between Pickering & Scarborough) enjoys an enviable reputation as a destination restaurant and bar with rooms.

The Taylor family and their team of staff aim to make guests feel relaxed and at home in this charming Georgian Inn, steeped in coaching heritage.

An imposing and historic Grade II listed building, built in 1776 and now sympathetically incorporating modern comforts, The Coachman Inn is the perfect retreat; the ideal base for exploring the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, the historic City of York and the stunning Yorkshire Coastline.

The aim of The Coachman Inn at Snainton is to make guests feel welcome and at home. At the heart of this welcome is the positive and professional approach of The Coachman's team of people.

From The Coachman Bar staff, to the quality of service in "Carriages" Restaurant, from the fine culinary delights of the kitchen to the diligent housekeeping of the clean, comfortable and relaxing accommodation and public areas; underpinning The Coachman Inn's standard of service and accommodation are people with a passion for quality who take a great pride in what they do.

The foundations of The Coachman Inn were laid with the Turnpike Act of 1740. This Act of Parliament was passed as a means of collecting money to repair roads so that mail coaches and horse riders could travel in safety. A toll bar was erected at Snainton and by 1776 The Coachman Inn - then known as The New Inn - became a coaching inn. It quickly established a tradition for warm hospitality, good food and refreshments to become the last staging post on the busy coaching road from York via Yedingham to Scarborough.

For almost 300 years, The Coachman Inn has extended a warm Yorkshire welcome to visitors and locals alike and the present owners, the Taylor family and their staff continue this tradition with the best of modern cuisine and comfortable en suite rooms that make the most of the beautiful North Yorkshire location and the rich heritage of this old coaching inn.

The Inn has been conserved and elegantly decorated in the manner of an 18th Century Country House and its gardens developed into well manicured lawns and flower beds so that visitors may enjoy the changing English seasons in the well kept grounds.
