‘Surprising’ accolade for Warwickshire hotel

A former Cistercian Abbey in Warwickshire has been recognised as one of the most extraordinary hotels in the UK.

Coombe Abbey country house hotel, just outside Coventry, has been named as one of the country’s 10 most surprising stays by travel website Booking.com.

The site, which holds more than 25 million reviews worldwide, asked Britons to rate what was important when planning a holiday at home, with 77 per cent stating they looked for something a little more unusual when choosing a staycation venue.

Coombe Abbey, which was built as a Cistercian Abbey in 1150AD, was listed as one of 10 unique and highly rated properties able to fulfil this brief, with Booking.com highlighting its historical connections and unusual bedrooms, many of which offer hidden surprises such as bathrooms hidden behind bookcases.

The hotel, owned by the aptly-named No Ordinary Hotels Group, was also commended for its distinctive events programme, which includes regular murder mystery evenings and ghost hunts.

Ron Terry, General Manager at Coombe Abbey hotel, said: “We’re absolutely honoured to have made it onto Booking.com’s list of the top 10 most surprising UK stays and hope visitors from across the country will enjoy discovering what we have to offer.”

This is the latest in a series of national accolades to be awarded to Coombe Abbey in recent months, with the hotel also receiving Top Rated status in laterooms.com’s Simply the Guest awards and a high commendation in the VenueVerdict Accreditation Programme for 2013.
