Coombe Farm is very beautiful & quiet with easy parking & picturesque surroundings. The property is off the B3253 which runs below the Widegates so do not use the postcode & I recommend what3words or dropping a pin onto Google maps rather than following a traditional satnav. If you enter the driveway from the east, it is a very tight corner so take it wide & slow & be careful of traffic if you leave in that direction.
We stayed 2 nights in Lily Loveday, the middle cottage of the three & the beautiful wooden door opens straight into the room with a bathroom accessed from the back wall. The décor is contemporary & a tea tray is provided along with bottled water. Gemma offers daily housekeeping & top ups, which we didn’t need. The flagstone floor is cool & although it was a warm October weekend, we were grateful for the heater to take the chill off.
The ironing board is a mini, tabletop one which is OK for t-shirts but no good for trousers or dresses. I would prefer a full size one slipped down the side of the wardrobe, even if it spoils the room aesthetics slightly. I’ve seen a suggestion of having a microwave provided but I disagree as the food smells would linger & taint the furnishings. Be aware that the front door is classed as a fire exit so, as a requirement by law, it is labelled & illuminated as such. As it is directly opposite the bed, the green glow is particularly noticeable overnight, but it does mean you don’t have to turn the light on to use the bathroom.
