  Whilst a group of friends had a lovely weekend and this house has bags of potential, we felt it is currently in need of some tlc, and that unfortunately, it wouldn’t be on our list to return to. The property had quite a lot of cobwebs and lots of obvious dust on lamps, panelling, etc that needed attention. We thought the furniture was very mismatched in places and was disappointed that there was no kindling for the fire, or logs in the internal basket upon arrival, despite emailing to ask and being told that they were supplied, earlier in the week. I wasn’t expecting to have to scrabble in the dark, to find the log store on the first night, to not be able to use the fire due to no kindling whatsoever! It was disappointing to find the hot tub cold upon arrival, despite the house showing as being available on the website calendars during the week. It would have been nice, given the money paid and availability in the diary, for this to have been set up earlier so was ready for use at the arrival time. I wasn’t made aware in any of the booking information that a ring doorbell would be I situ and this felt very intrusive when we arrived. We felt the sink hand soaps and radox shower gels left in the bathrooms, were of poor quality and not what you would expect to find in a property like this and the offering could be improved. Operating instructions for the property were not easily available/couldn’t be found, and we noticed drawers were full of junk when looking for these. Organisation and the provision of useful information could be improved. Basics such as tin foil and cling film were not provided and are would recommend these are supplied. The lights around the hot tub are annoying! Initially they stay on for a period of time but then flick on and off constantly due to the sensor. There should be an option to override these to be constantly on, especially at this time of year. Although we did flag this, nothing was able to be done to mitigate this issue during our stay.

  This a stunning property with amazing views.

  Lots of facilities such as hot tub, bbq, outside seating, games, lots of books (the owners really like their books!)... you shouldn't get bored. There are 8 bedrooms of which one is a twin and one is a single. 6 bedrooms are double. The master suite is massive with a massive walk in dressing room/en suite. In addition to the en suite upstairs you have one main bathroom, a second bathroom with a shower cubicle and an extra separate WC. This was a weekend away for 9 guys and we had no problems. The kitchen is of decent size and there are more than enough pots, pans, cooking trays, cutlery, glasses, etc. You don't need to bring anything. There is an electric hob and a large free standing gas cooker. The fridge freezer is an american double door one with an ice maker and water dispenser so no need to buy ice. The TV room downstairs is Freeview so if you want to login to your Sky then bring a laptop and HDMI. The view from the rear of the property is breathtaking as you can only see countryside with hills. Be mindful this is an old property so it has old doors and old windows that don't have good latches. However, the inside is clean and well kept. Nearby there are plenty of walking routes. We ordered food from Bishops Waltham on one night which was delivered fine and second night we had a private chef who had no issues preparing our meal with the facilities provided. One bit of feedback for the owners, please put some lights at the front and rear of the property. There are none so at night it is pitch black. If you go outside you need to use your phone light at night. Wonderful stay at Coombe Place House and we will look to come back here.

• Mr Parker-Hourigan - Verified booking

  March 2025 As a group of 10, we hired the whole Sunday School Spa and I have to say, it was fantastic. The location in the centre of Richmond is perfect and the parking is a breeze and free of charge! Alternatively there is a huge car park at the end of the green, with a nominal charge of course. 5 minute walk up the hill into the main square with loads of restaurants, pubs, shops and places for food shopping. The own Emma met us on arrival and showed us around, making sure we knew how everything worked. She was very lovely and answered any questions we had. She noted that if we had any issues, she was just a call away as she lived close by. The full property is huge, with 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 lounges, big dining area, outdoor hot tub, sauna and cold plunge. It's immaculately presented, with super comfy sofas, there's a wood burning fire in the front room for cozy night in. Multiple TV's with satellite connection and great wi-fi. We really enjoyed staying there and will come back again for sure.

  This is a substantial property with an extensive garden area that you can even tire a spaniel out in!

  Its a 10 min walk into Hawkshead from the property where there is a good selection of pubs and shops. We were hit by Storm Arwen shortly after arriving so had to decamp for two nights as all the power went off, but the owners kindly refunded the two nights which was very good of them as the storm had nothing to do with them. We enjoyed staying here, with all the room, large kitchen for cooking in and dining room and cosy lounge. Two main issues, there is only BBC iplayer on the TV, no other channels at all, so they could do with sorting that out as you have to rely on the BBC and the DVDs in the property, not great on early dark nights. Also the property is chilly; the heating is set to 18 degrees which is too cold in winter. I did reset the Hive heating control for the week but the owner reset it back remotely so we had to rely on the boost control. Finally a watch out, the owners arrive promptly at 10am on checkout day, never had that at any other property stay where some latitude is given

  Second time we have stayed in this property.

  Great for our large family group, large kitchen, living & dining area, great for being together & apart. Cosy, comfortable & clean. Would definitely come again. But a few areas we would like to be addressed. Informed there were hair dryers, but 1 for the whole property, if we'd known that family would have brought their own. As a large group in the winter we like to cook & eat in. Although there is plenty of crockery glasses cups etc, there is a bit of a mish mash of utensils, no large serving spoons, bread knife, large sieve or kitchen scissors. We found that the left oven did not heat properly. Would be useful to supply hand towel for the kitchen & the downstairs toilet. Not enough separate bags bedding & towels. The hoover had not been emptied, it was extremely full, no spare bag, and smelt, do the cleaners bring their own? The main bin was full & on the side of the road on arrival Friday! As a large group we produced 3large bags we had to leave at the side of the road.
