Where do the season’s go? Have we really spun towards half-term with such speed this year?

The countryside and Middle Coombe Farm are looking particularly beautiful this October. It doesn’t matter what age you are…when the leaves start falling and the ground is covered in a light carpet of crisp, golden and orange leaves…I bet you skip a bit too…when no one’s looking.

I walk through our woods from my little cottage to work most days and love the fact that the landscapes and woods, the colours and the light change hour by hour in these parts. A particularly winning combination at Middle Coombe Farm for our guests as they can return from walking in our woodlands to gorgeous, historic, 4 star accommodation with a large open fire (in the drawing room & a huge working fireplace in the attached back courtyard) & wood burner & underfloor heating in the adjacent Allensdown Barn. All is warmed gently by our biomass boiler, fuelled with delicious smelling wood from our own 220 acres of sustainably run woodland.

Pack the children, friends, parents, grandparents & family dog into your car & come for a 3 night (or more) ‘off piste’ country house & country experience at the ultimate family home with it’s very own woodlands. We are a rare find.
