Coombe End Manor is cottagecore at its finest. Here, the bedroom decor is charmingly maximalist, all contrasting patterns and fringing galore. It can sleep up to 20 guests in 10 mostly en-suite bedrooms, combining contemporary taste with classic allure.Â
Waking up to a sunlit courtyard with a heated alfresco dining space overlooking the Cotswold hills, or starting the day with a sauna and ice bath in the house spa, are experiences unto themselves. A range of spa treatments are available, including massages, facials, manicures and pedicures – aka total bliss. Other facilities include a newly laid hard tennis court, heated outdoor pool, gym, games room and state-of-the-art cinema room where cosy evenings can be spent watching favourite films on repeat.
The home’s impressive art collection includes works by Thomas Gainsborough – one of the most important British artists of the 18th century – and Joan Miró, the influential 20th-century Spanish painter and sculptor. The interior has a Regency feel, and to make you feel even more like you’re featuring in an episode of Downton Abbey, there’s a medieval banqueting hall at the heart of the house with monastic columns and elm flooring. Highly skilled personal chefs and wait staff can be on hand for an additional cost, curating menus to your personal taste and providing access to the house’s very own wine cellar and fine wine collection. In the West Wing, head to the club room for its members’ club atmosphere, and make yourself comfortable on plush sofas in front of the large stone fireplace.
Working with trusted local businesses, the house also offers a range of activities tailored to your visit, including horse riding, clay-pigeon shooting, falconry, off-road quad biking, hot-air ballooning and even a Poirot-esque murder-mystery experience.
