Sarah paid a a visit to newcomers The Nest by @3wrensgin - a gin distillery and cocktail bar located on Pepper Street in Nantwich. Here she met Manager, Reece, to discuss more about their move onto the high street 🍸

With Three Wrens Gin calling the Park View Business Park home close to Combermere Abbey, the plan was to extend their offering and bring gin to the masses of Nantwich.

In this stylish bar, visitors can enjoy a Three Wrens G&T or cocktail, without having to buy the whole bottle (although it is tempting!). You can also try their exclusive Pepper Street Gin.

The Nest is the perfect place for a nightcap after dinner at one of the many great restaurants Nantwich has to offer, making it the ideal evening destination during a stay with us at Combermere.

Did you know that Combermere Abbey and Nantwich share a 900-year long history? Hugh de Malbanc, Lord of Nantwich gifted land to the Abbey to build a monastery in 1133, and the beautiful Miserichord in St Mary’s Church is carved from oaks on the estate! Our beautiful holiday cottage Malbanc is named in tribute.

Only 6 miles from Combermere, it is now a bustling market town with great independent shops and we had a fun-packed day in Nantwich, meeting the wonderful local shop owners. 🚶‍♀️

From friendly waves to uncovering some of the town’s best shops, keep watching to see all that Nantwich has to offer. And of course, we saved the best for last—a refreshing gin at The Nest by @3wrensgin 🍸

Whether you’re a local or a first-time visitor, there’s always something new to discover in this charming market town—especially when you’re staying at Combermere Abbey, just a short 15-minute drive away.

A lot can be said about 33 High St, Whitchurch 📍

Inside this beautiful building you will find Stuart and Frances who opened Docket No.33 in August 2017. There goal was to create a space where people can enjoy great food and service in a relaxed environment, and Shropshire was the perfect location due to being surrounded by local growers, producers and distillers.

In October 2019, Docket No.33 was recognised by the Michelin Guide and was awarded a Plate in the 2020 Guide. We are so proud and grateful to have this amazing restaurant on our doorstep.

Watch as Sarah spends time with Stuart, fully supporting the businesses local to Combermere Abbey.

Sarah had the pleasure of interviewing Christine, one of 17 lovely ladies from a sewing group in Hoylake, called Crafters and Makers run by Jane Gordon, who enjoyed a group stay with us this autumn. The group comes together to create beautiful, handcrafted pieces everything from dresses to tablecloths and quilts, each made with care and creativity. 🪡 🧵

During their stay, the sewing group enjoyed the peaceful surroundings of Combermere Abbey, using the time to bond, share their passion, and find inspiration in our tranquil setting. They also celebrated the Jane’s 50th birthday making the trip even more special. 🎁

We captured some fantastic photos of their projects and a lovely group photo to commemorate the occasion which we’re excited to share with you over the coming weeks. It’s the perfect example of how Combermere Abbey is an ideal retreat for group tours. 💫

We’d love to help you find the perfect setting. Whether it’s a special celebration or a group retreat, we’re here to make it unforgettable. Contact us via the link in our bio.
