Combe House

Listed as one of the most romantic hotels in Great Britain and voted in the “Top Best Foodie Hotels in South West England” by readers of FOOD Magazine, Combe is a place you will love. For, to discover the warmth and tranquility of this luxury historic country house hotel surrounded by its enchanting woodland gardens is to find something very special - something you may never have known you were looking for until you found it, rather like falling in love for the very first time.
