Coombe Abbey Hotel

I’d been to coombe abbey before, many years ago for a wedding… Which was a medieval theme with serving monks who then took off their robes to reveal serving wenches!
Last year I went back with friends & sister to have afternoon tea here. We booked 4 of us to have the Knights afternoon tea and one had the standard afternoon tea as she didn’t eat pork.
The Knights afternoon tea came with a glass of ale, as well as tea/​coffee. We had a cottage pie, scotch egg, etc so it was different to the one with sandwiches. In hindsight we probably should have had 2 Knights and 2 of the other afternoon tea to share out.
We sat in the conservatory which was nice but rather warm.
We had a nice walk round the grounds and the adjoining park. It’s worth a visit!!!

Today my husband and I went for a very enjoyable walk around the Coombe Abbey wildlife grounds. We were there for almost 2-​hours and even sat afterwards at the local café near the children’s play area and enjoyed a sandwich and tea.
It was very busy on a winters Sunday with loads of families, but once we made it towards the back side of the park it was less crowded.
We will definitely go again and allow more time to meander around the grounds and inside the hotel.
I hear the afternoon tea is exquisite in the hotel but we should book ahead.

only ever been here for a end of term party and to walk around the grounds, and for an afternoon tea. not been to stay inside the hotel, but have looked around and it is very beautiful — very gothic, dark, high backed hairs. then you get into the conservatory where the afternoon tea service is held and it’s light, airy, beautiful and pastel colors! the gardens are lovely to walk around or to jog, you can see the beautiful stream where the swans and ducks are. really pretty especially in the summer. the house itself as mentioned is dark and imposing especially when you go down the long drive to get to it. it’s a little hidden gem in the warwickshire countryside. would love to stay there. ps. food and service at the afternoon tea was of course great

Das Beste Hotel, in dem ich weltweit bislang war. Der eigene Charme als Spukhotel und die hervorragende Gastronomie haben mich voll überzeugt

Had a fantastic night at coombe park hotel in coventry .it was a medieaval night and everyone dress up for the accasion. and the entertainment was brilliant and the food was delicious. i would definitely do it again. I would it a five star. its also a lovely place to visit in the day time for a picnic and walk

This really is a magical place. Great atmosphere, amazing food and the staff are so lovely. I have already booked my next medieaval night for June!

stayed here earlier this year as part of a large work party, the rooms were sumptuious, the food left you wishing you had more (because it tasted good and the portions were small) and the wine and champagne had a great pallette.
all in all luxury in a nut shell. Deffiantly worth re-​visiting!

spent a fab weekend here at a family birthday party. we thoroughly enjoyed the mediaval banquet and the rooms were very comfortable. breakfast was good quality and all in all great value for money. the grounds and surrounding park are beautiful. staff were really helpful. would thoroughly recommend this hotel. very atmosopheric if a little underlit.

Coombe Abbey is a hidden gem. I’m originally from this neck of the woods, and remember many summer days playing in the public parks around the Abbey. At that time, it was a private building, but all of the grounds were open. Now it’s a hotel, and WHAT a hotel!
The entire place is a trip back in time. Very little of the original architecture has been changed, with new additions tastefully evoking the building’s magisterial beauty, such as the dining area which is essentially a massive conservatory at the back of the building.
We occupied two interconnecting rooms. We are definitely not the hotel’s target demographic — 2 adults and 4 young kids — but they did absolutely everything possible to make our stay comfortable, enjoyable, and unforgettable (in a good way!).
Each room had a feature bed, which was just wonderful. The bathrooms were extremely well-​appointed, with fantastic showers and bath fittings that soothed away the jetlag and long days of touring the area.
Speaking of which: Coombe Abbey is a fantastic base for things like Warwick Castle, Stratford, and Birmingham, especially if you want somewhere a little away from the bustle of regular tourist spots. Remember that the hotel is surrounded by its own land and acres of farmland, too. At night, there isn’t a single noise; nothing intrudes on the quiet and serenity of this location. We slept like logs every night — all of us, even the children.
Breakfast was included in our booking, and it’s pretty usual English hotel fare: buffet breakfast, including juices, cereals, pastries, yogurt, fresh fruit, and — of course — a fry-​up.
I believe that Coventry has a lot to offer to tourists. Unfortunately the city is doing a really poor job of redeveloping and marketing itself, and so a lot of good things are going to waste. Coombe Abbey should not be one of them. It’s magnificent in every way.

I have not been to the hotel for any particular large event, but I did go for afternoon tea and cannot exclaim my wonder for it enough! The room, the conservatory I believe, that we had our tea in was exquisite — not to my taste, but even I was in awe at the ornate decoration. The four of us were given our own room at an extremely well laid table and served the most enormous scones, teas and coffees I have ever seen. Staff were attentive and friendly and we were allowed to explore the hotel a little after. Most amazing day.

I have experienced the corperate days side of Coombe abbey twice now and both times they have been a pleasure to deal with.
I organise four trips a year for our company (its what we call our ” teamtogether days”) and commbe abbey has been our venue choice for two events. one being a treasure hunt and the other being a medevil banquet.
The treasure hunt was brilliant, i never actually realised how many beutiful things there were to see at coombe abbey and i have been going there every since i was a little girl myself, for eg. they have a lot of great tree carvings, they are absolutly gorgeous and so much work must have gone into them, there is also some great sculptures and i must admit we had such a laugh with the stocks that are behind the banquet hall. our managers were put in them quite a few times.
We had a wonderful bbq, and when i say wonderful that does not even begin to describe how good it was;
for 17 gbp per head they provided
burgers
sausages
steak
chicken
jacket pots
about seven different salads
coleslaw
pasta
breads
corn on cob
crème brûlée
fruit baskets
juice and water
and the quality of the meat was fantastic.
The second event has been our favourite as a department, we all dressed up in costume and the whole medevil experience was so great, the actors, the music, the food, the staff, the venue absolutly everything, i think this cost 34 gbp per head for our company as there was quite a few of us.
I have never had the pleasure of using the hotel and services other than for buisness use, but it a beautiful place, really dark, romantic and cosy
But i have used the grounds to take the children for walks and to the park probally about 15 times a year and its great, everything you could ask for, loverly equipment, great gift shop, café and ammenities… fantastic day out for all.

Coombe Abbey Hotel is still one of my most favourite hotels in the whole world even after visiting many others that are more expensive etc
I was extremely pleased with the actual hotel, it is surprising how large it is when you approach the hotel down the drive.
Parking is not a problem and there are many places around to park.
The actual hotel has a strong mediaeval vibe inside, and everything seems very dark and atmospheric, with lots of statues of cherubs, knights and coat of arms.
The staff are really lovely people and help in any way needed.
The rooms are so individual and unique, they are very old fashioned, and it is like living in a castle! The bathrooms are huge with massive baths and extremely spacious.
The room itself was massive with a hidden tv in a cabinet and secret little hideaway compartments with sweets, tea and coffee, kettle etcall over the room which I loved searching for!
The restaurant is fantastic, the food was absolutely the best quality food for a very reasonable price. I still dream about the chicken stuffed with parma ham and cheese! The actual setting of the restaurant is very similar to an open conservatory inside and is very intimate.
Highly recommended.

A most beautiful hotel, situated in a wonderful park, if you need to relax this is the place to go, you have lakes, woodlands, picnic area, beautiful lawned gardens.
