⚠️ Careful where you step! ⚠️

In our latest History of the Abbey reel, Sarah’s testing her balance high above the library in Combermere’s fascinating monastic roof space.

Discover why this unique roof was built, and hear the slightly less glamorous side of history too... Let’s just say bat droppings and dinner time didn’t mix well! 🦇

Don’t miss the ending as this hidden part of the Abbey isn’t open to the public, so it’s a rare glimpse into something truly special.

We can’t wait for you to learn more about this remarkable corner of Combermere’s history. Learn more on the restoration website today.

We think Stone Lodge might just be the most special spot on the entire Combermere Abbey estate and Sarah is here to tell you why. 💫

Built in 1820 by Lord Combermere himself, this charming lodge sits proudly at the entrance to the estate. A beautiful extension of the Abbey’s Gothic style, it’s one of our most popular cottages thanks to its rich history, peaceful setting, private terrace, and elegant interiors.

Guests love staying here for the tranquil woodland walks right on the doorstep and it’s dog-friendly too! 🐾

Head to our website now to book and enjoy the beautiful grounds of Combermere Abbey.

What better way to spend your retirement than bringing a passion for farming to life? 🌿

We had the pleasure of sitting down with the lovely Annie from @longmansfarmshopandcafe to hear all about their journey. Annie and Andrew both grew up in farming, so their knowledge and commitment to quality shine through in everything they do. 👏

From seasonal produce to locally sourced goods, they know exactly where it all comes from, and it definitely shows.

Open every day of the week, Longmans Café and Farm Shop is the perfect spot for fresh local food and a proper taste of the countryside. If you’re staying in one of Combermere Abbey’s self-catering cottages, it’s an ideal place to stock up, think fresh vegetables, homemade treats, and locally sourced meats to enjoy during your stay. 🧀🥦🍞

For all our Christmas guests, don’t forget to pre-order your fresh turkey from Longmans and make your festive feast extra special. 🎄

You need to watch this! 👀

It’s fascinating and a little alarming just how much damage these tiny creatures can do. This is what happened when death watch beetles made there way into the historic oak at Combermere Abbey… the result? A network of tiny holes with potentially catastrophic consequences if left unnoticed for too long. 🪵🐛

If you’re interested in learning more about the rich history of Combermere Abbey then visit our dedicated restoration website to explore the story behind this remarkable estate. https://combermere-restoration.co.uk/

We also still have spaces available on our autumn/winter Invitation to View Tours, in partnership with @historic_houses 🤩

The tour includes tea and cake with Combermere Abbey’s owner, Sarah Callander Beckett, and a chance to hear all the tales from the Abbey first-hand.
