Coombe Abbey Hotel (view from a bridge to the right)
|
Welcome to Coombe Abbey Hotel just as the fog is lifting. This place is just about perfect and located just outside Coventry. It was founded as a monastery in the 12th century and in the 16th century it became royal property. Yes, it is a hotel and there is no denying that the moment you enter the grounds you are transported to....well, you just have to come and have a look for yourself!

I could never describe this 'no ordinary hotel' adequately, so click the link,
Coombe Abbey Hotel, and have a little read for yourself.

On another note: Lulu, one of Britain's great ukelele players, Ian Whitcomb, ended up a couple of miles north of here in Altadena. He performs at the Coffee Gallery sometimes.
