An elegant country hotel promising a memorable retreat
In the heart of Fownhope, The Green Man Inn blends 500 years of history with thoughtful, modern hospitality.
Following a sensitive refurbishment, the inn strikes a perfect balance between character and comfort, from a relaxed, rustic bar to two refined dining spaces and seventeen carefully designed boutique rooms.
In the kitchen, the focus is on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Dishes like slow-braised beef or pear and red onion tarte tatin are executed with care, sitting comfortably alongside British classics, gently elevated. A peaceful garden completes the picture, quiet, understated, and deeply inviting.

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 36 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 its heart lies the Group’s enduring ethos: “Hospitality from the Heart.” More than a phrase, it reflects a genuine commitment to people, teams treated as family, communities as partners, and guests as old friends. Recognition followed: winner of UK’s Best Accommodation Operator at the 2025 Publican Awards, WHICH? Best Small Hotel Group 2024/25, Best Large Hotel Group 2025/26 and ranked among the Top UK Employers. In essence, the Coaching Inn Group invites you on a journey where tradition, warmth, and thoughtful hospitality never go out of style.
We’d love to welcome you on a stay that blends history, warmth and genuine care every time.
From Boston
