A special invite from me, VITA—the four-legged ambassador of Combermere Abbey! 🐾

Autumn is paws-down the most exciting time of the year. The smells are incredible, lake swims (just for us pups!) are refreshing, and every walk is an adventure. Afterward, I love nothing more than curling up by the fire to warm up and dry off. So why not join me for a stroll through the Pleasure Garden at Combermere Abbey, where dogs can roam off the lead? 🐕

With golden leaves to chase, crisp air to sniff, and stunning views around every corner, it’s the perfect time to explore our beautiful estate. Whether it’s an early morning walk by the mere, a scamper through the woods, or a visit to our dog-friendly spot, ‘The Old Piggery Café,’ autumn at Combermere Abbey has never looked better. Book your stay through the link in bio and discover a thousand years of history with your furry friend.

Tag your favourite dog owner you’d love to stroll through the Pleasure Garden with! 🌿

Almost 20 years ago, Combermere Abbey began a collaboration with The WRAG Scheme (Work and Retrain As a Gardener Scheme), which was started in 1933 to encourage women into horticulture.

The WRAG Scheme was designed for students to be mentored under a Head Gardener, Combermere offers a marvellous horticultural patchwork to gain important practical experience.

Over the years we have enjoyed following their respective careers develop and we currently have two trainees Claire and Catherine who will complete a year with us here at Combermere, under the eagle eye of Kevin, the senior gardener. 🌱

We take our North Wing guests experience very seriously!

Listening to comments and observations is at the heart of what we do.. so we have created something new for those visitors who want the full Combermere North Wing experience without going out once settled in.

Now you can enjoy the delicious Combermere ‘Grazing Board’ for one or two persons, crammed full of local goodies to enjoy a relaxing evening in. Just book it in advance, let us know any dietary challenges and off you go.

Created fresh inhouse, you can also enjoy it as a picnic in fine weather gazing at the sunset over the mere.. (picnic basket and blanket provided)

Book your stay through the link in our bio and discover the wonderful treat of a night in the unique North Wing.

In line with our commitment to sustainability and woodland management, and in honour of our late Queen’s Jubilee, we participated in The Queen’s Green Canopy initiative by re-planting almost 500 trees as part of the reinstatement of a natural woodland along the Woodland Walk at Combermere Abbey.

We have been planting trees since offering weddings at Combermere for each couple married and now have several hundred well established on our Woodland Walk. This walk is enjoyed by those coming to stay in our holiday cottages and B & B, however in the spring, locals can book a visit to see the wonderful carpet of bluebells during April and May.

In this video, Sarah shares heart-warming stories about the trees we've planted and continue to plant. Discover the age of the cherished Abbey and how we celebrated this significant milestone.
