Coombe
Farm, Widegates, Near Looe, Cornwall PL13 1QN
Coombe Farm was built in 1925 and was
originally a working farm. Later, it became a hotel, winning a
number of awards. In 2003, the house was closed as a hotel, but
we continue to accommodate guests in
three en suite garden rooms, on a bed and breakfast basis.
The rooms are spacious (accommodating two to four/five people)
with their own doors into the grounds.
Each room has a shower with w.c. and washbasin, satellite
television, heater, direct dial telephone,
clock radio, hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities. There
is ample parking close to the rooms.
Breakfast is included in the room rate and is
served to guests in the privacy of their rooms,
with a table and chairs provided in each room for this
purpose.
Coombe
Farm has eleven acres of grounds and looks over a wooded valley
to the sea.
There is a heated outdoor pool with plenty of space for guests
to sit out on sunny days. Streams run
through the woods at the back of the property and to the front
is a paddock with several ponies, always
happy for some attention! Peacocks strut around the gardens and
you can be introduced to Sooty,
the resident rabbit, Snowy, the guinea pig and Daisy, the golden
retriever. Coombe
Farm is conveniently situated, away from the bustle of Looe but
within a ten minute drive.
A few miles further on is the famous fishing village of Polperro
and a number of beautiful beaches lie
within a few miles for those who want sandy stretches for
bathing or bodysurfing or for catching crabs in
the rock pools. Walkers are well catered for with a number of
options. The famous coastal path can be
picked up within two miles and Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor are also
close by. The world famous
Eden Project is less than twenty miles away and a few miles
further on are the Lost Gardens of Heligan.
The popular town of Fowey is around fifteen miles distant and a
number of National Trust properties
and other historic buildings lie within a twenty mile radius.
There are numerous opportunities for water
and other sports in the area. If you are interested in
horseriding, whatever your ability, we can put you
in touch with stables, including those who offer treks on Bodmin
Moor. For golf enthusiasts there are
a number of 18 hole golf courses nearby (the nearest 1 mile
away). The
city of Plymouth and the cathedral cities of Truro and Exeter
are within easy reach.
Indeed, both the North and South coast of Cornwall and Devon are
accessible from Coombe Farm,
making it an ideal base for a short or long stay in this part of
England. There is a wide choice of pubs
and formal/informal restaurants close by and advice can be given
on the different locations.
Taxis are easily arranged for those who do not wish to drive. Please
note that no smoking is allowed in the rooms. |
