    Obviously sells itself as a corporate event and wedding venue so individual customers tend to get swamped by the rest. The restaurant was good but some staff less knowledgeable than they should have been.

    Grand old 14th century hotel with upmarket decor. Just lacks an atmosphere.

    I dont like paying for car parking when I am paying £140 for a room. Given where this hotel is everyone will be in a car so there is no benefit to not include it in the price as not many guests will not need parking.

    The hotel is very grand, the decor will not be to everyones taste but its certainly interesting. The restaurant was ok but I felt the food was a little lacking, nice but not enough of it. Drink prices were pretty reasonable for such a large hotel.

    Woken up at 8am by a fire alarm. Only went off for about 10seconds but enough to wake us, and the iron was broken, so when Mt partner was ironing his shirt water spilled out on it and stained it.

    Loved the medieval night, and the breakfast in the morning, and the suite was beautiful.

    bedroom far to dark, lighting poor. No fridge. Bar staff not trained. put loads of ICE in a white wine. also in my gin. Basic error. I told them you never put any ice in a drink without asking. Car parking charge excessive. Had to ask twice for tea at breakfast then they forgot the milk. Otherwise staff staff attentive and polite.

    Reception Good. Breakfast food kept hot. Bed very good. Some staff very attentive. Bar food very good.

    The bathroom in room 178. The two spotlights that were working were very low wattage. Add the fact another was not working, meant a very dark room. However, more importantly, the bathroom extractor fan was on constantly. Not such a problem at 4pm when distracted by general noise. But at 4am is sounded like a generator! And certainly disturbed our nights sleep. This could easily spoil someone's stay. But we didn't let it spoil ours as we only booked the one evening. If we were staying extra nights we certainly would have been forced to request maintenance take a look. Reception was busy on the Sunday and there only appeared to be junior staff on duty, so we didn't report the problem.

    Setting was lovely. So unusual to witness ALL staff members being jolly, helpful and professional. Helped to set a very pleasant atmosphere. Well done. Value for money. Personally we felt you could easily add 25% possibly 50% to accommodation price's without a problem. An argument for ' selling yourselves short? '

    Best rooms are in main building. The new build rooms are okay but lack the space and light you get in the Abbey rooms. There are a lot of artificial flower arrangements but as they are higher up they don’t appear to get dusted at all, would really make a difference cleaning these even once a year.

    Great Location! Staff very pleasant and helpful. Worth doing the medieval banquet. And the punting on offer is brilliant!

    I wasn't really there long enough to find anything I didn't like. The general feel of the place wasn't what I expected nor what I am used to.

    Good location, beautiful scenery, and a quirky decour. The rooms were huge and having a decent sized bath for once in a hotel was also a welcome addition

    Wi-Fi and phone signals poor in bedroom. We stayed in the Park Priory building which was modern and we were surprised by the poor signal

    Comfy bed and good curtains that blocked out the light. Impressive looking hotel. Great room / decorations / furniture - it was a feature room which gave a sense of occasion.

    There was very little information available in the room or the common areas about the history of Coombe Abbey. Also it is surprising that there are no spa facilities. The staff were friendly but we were overcharged on arrival and only discovered we had been charged an extra £80 for another dinner for two, when we check our bill. Also on leaving the bill was wrong as we had been charged for the dinner we had already paid for. That was refunded but once we got home we realised we had been charged twice for cheese at dinner - when we shared a plate. These mistakes took the edge off what was otherwise a pleasant stay.

    The beautiful grounds and historical atmosphere
