Dear Angela and Tim,
I wanted to write to say a big thank you for helping to make Bec and Gary’s wedding perfect and for giving my daughter the fairytale wedding that she had always dreamed of. Middle coombe is a truly magical place and everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Thank you so much for allowing us to share your beautiful farmhouse and for the attention to every detail which made it an unforgettable experience.
Hopefully we can come back again some day, but until then we have many memories to take with us.
Love and a big thanks to you all,

Just a few lines to thank you both so very much for making my brother’s wedding so special. I know both Colin & Lisa will tell you themselves, but on behalf of the rest of the guests, a big thank you. You were at the very heart of the celebrations and were so involved it was great to see.
Thank you both,

Thank you so much for helping to make my son’s wedding go so well. What a shame he was so poorly in the evening, but everyone enjoyed the whole event otherwise. Of course, the glortious weather helped, but it was a stunning venue & I will have memories to cherish for the rest of my life.

Dear Angela, Tim, Sofia & Finn,
Where do we start with our thank you’s?! Coombe Farm was the most perfect, magical place for our wedding and it came with the most wonderful family to guide, advise, support and play with us! Thank you for everything you did, especially Angela of course, who did so much over and above what you had to. The wedding and the week at Coombe were all we dreamed of and more, it is a place very close to our hearts, we talk about it all the time and plan to come back to stay one day when we have a family of our own.
Love, thanks and mirror balls,
Sophie and Dan – November 2010
Dear Angela and Tim
Thank you for helping us to have a dream wedding! It was an amazing weekend, full of love and laughter – exactly what we’d hoped for.
We were overwhelmed by the generosity, effort and support we received from our family and friends and we want to say a special thank you to you both for ensuring the weekend went so smoothly.
Middle Coombe Farm is such a unique and charming venue – we love it! The woodland ceremony was magical – so peaceful and intimate…perfect! Everyone had so much fun, in the pool, dancing in the barn and walking in the woods and yet with minimum environmental impact! We hope the farm brings as much joy to other couples in the future.
The Isles of Scilly were so romantic – we had sunshine and deserted white beaches…bliss! Definitely The best honeymoon destination.
All our love,
Elise and Nick

Angela, Tim & All at Middle Coombe,
An enormous & heartfelt thank you to you all for your help on our most special day and for your company & glad tidings on the day.
It was perfect.
With love,
Kris and Carla
Sorry it’s taken me some time to email you after spending our week and wedding at Middle Coombe, but just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful time. It was a bit of a last minute decision to get married during the week we were on holiday, but we’re so glad we decided to go for it – we couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful place. Without gushing too much, I have to say what a wonderful and very memorable moment it was to walk “down the isle” into that beautiful oak panelled room, decorated with rhododendrons from the garden, friends lounging on the sofas, and kids sat cross-legged on that great window sill – it was warm, intimate, relaxed and very special. We put off getting married for many years (we’ve been together 14 yrs), mainly because we couldn’t find the right way to do it. Middle Coombe was perfect, it really has a lovely atmosphere and very special quality about it.
You were both great hosts, thank you for all you help, for the lovely card and champagne, and numerous borrowed items. We hope to get the opportunity to come and stay again in the future, and will be recommending you to all and sundry. We wish you all the best of luck with the business and the Trust. Here are a couple of photographs from the day.
Best Wishes,
Paula and Richard

Dear Tim & Angela,
Just a note to say a massive thank you for letting us get married at Coombe. Everyone of our guests were blown away by the venue, Nigel and I had a magical day.
Thank you also for our gifts left for us, the cake in the farmhouse was delicious and the Champagne helped to steady our nerves while getting ready on the wedding day. We have the lovely card with Tim’s photo framed on the wall.

Dear Tim & Angela
Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful farm and cottage for our brilliant wedding.

Love Paul & Sara
Dear Tim, Angela, Sofia & Finn,
We would like to say a big thank you to you all for our great wedding. We really had just the day we dreamt of and all our guests had a great time too!
The setting was perfect and to stay in the farmhouse with all our friends that made the whole weekend extra specially memorable. So a massive thank you for all your help in the planning and coordinating of the day.
Love Sandra & Jim
Dear Angela & Tim,
Thank you so much for all your kind help and support whilst we were planning our wedding day.
Our wedding day was perfect and just as we wanted it. The barn looked gorgeous for the ceremony and meal with all the greenery from your woods that our friends and family collected and arranged. The marquee worked out well, and the bunting and greenery made it fit in better. The woodland ceremony was beautiful and the swing, speeches, vows and ribbon hand tying made it very special and uniquely personal for us. The whole venue is fantastic and we are so glad we came across it as it fitted in with exactly the type of wedding we wanted. Lots of our guests commented on how personal, lovely and different it all was,and that it was ideal for us, making it very memorable.
We also very much enjoyed bring able to have friends and family staying so close, the house was great, and so was the camping. It made the wedding dayl feel longer, like a weekend. We could also spend a couple of days after with everyone particularly those that traveled from afar and stayed longer.
Thank you so much for giving us some contacts, Jacquie Green, Alison Orchard, the chair cover company and contact for the marquee, all which was very helpful.
Love Sarah & James
Dear Tim, Angela & Sofia & Finn,
Here is a very belated thank you for all you kindness and help the way you welcomed us so warmly to Middle Coombe for our wedding.
I guess we must have had the wettest of all the weddings with you this year – but in some ways it made it even more special for us. We love the fact that our guests spent most of the days in wellies and waterproofs, but didn’t let the cold and sogginess dampen the day – and probably danced and partied more because of it.
Middle Coombe is now such a special place to us – it really is a haven. We’ll definitely be back to stay with family/friends.
Ruth & Adam
Dear Tim & Angela,
Thank you so much for your kindness and great hospitality surrounding Adam & Ruth’s wedding on Saturday.
It will be an occasion we shall treasure and remember as being very special, enhanced strangely by the dreadful weather. Your beautiful house was most welcoming and comfortable and we felt at home, specially with the added warmth from the Aga. A special thank you to Angela for her magic touch with the hot water bottle for the granny’s.
With our love and thanks, Daniel & Gill
