The Coach and Horses was originally two houses, one was an ale house and the other was a drinking lodge. In 1814 the owner of the ale house died and the two rooms merged to form the Coach and Horses Inn.

The beams in the bar are made from salt water pickled oak from the Forest of Dean having been bought second hand from the old shipyards, as they were used in boats that had been scrapped. The dowel holes are still visible in the beams today. The outside of the Inn was originally tiled with floor tiles stolen from the banqueting hall of Chepstow Castle.

From 1870 the Inn was in the hands of William Price and family up until the late 1920's. From thereon landlords came and went until 2002 when the Meyrick family, who had been living in Southern Africa for the past thirty years, took over the reins of the pub.

It is also known that Lawrence of Arabia used to drink at the pub as he used to visit his Aunt and Uncle (he was an orphan) who lived next door, on his leave from the army.

Today we proudly boast real ales and real pub food, with the aim of bringing traditional pub values to the modern day way of life. 

The pub has great views of Chepstow and the castle here, and is within walking distance from breathtaking views of the Wye Valley. With so much beautiful scenery in this area it is an ideal place for walkers, hikers and general tourists to visit, which we cater for year round.
