Coombe Abbey Hotel

Live Like Royalty Just Outside Coventry

Step back in time at Coombe Abbey Hotel, a stunning 4-star retreat nestled in 500 acres of landscaped parkland. This former 12th-century Cistercian abbey blends historic grandeur with modern comfort, offering a unique stay just a 15-minute drive from Coventry. With antique-filled rooms, scenic views, and centuries-old architecture, it's a hotel experience as unforgettable as the concert you're attending.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel’s peaceful countryside setting makes it an ideal spot to unwind after a high-energy night out. Despite its tranquil atmosphere, it's still conveniently close to Coventry and its major music venues. The drive back is short and scenic, and for groups with a designated driver or a taxi, it’s a smooth ride home. With free Wi-Fi throughout and late-evening events like medieval banquets, there’s still plenty of entertainment if you're not ready to call it a night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a unique and fun base
• Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list gig and a quiet night’s rest
• Couples wanting to turn a concert into a romantic weekend
• Fans who prefer a quieter, scenic recovery after the show
• Music lovers with an eye for a budget-friendly luxury experience

Food and Drink Options

Dine like nobility in the fine à la carte restaurant or grab a post-show bite in the Garden Bar, which serves delightful afternoon tea and light snacks. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s medieval banquets and themed dining experiences offer a memorable twist on the usual hotel fare. Breakfast is available — handy if you’ve had a late night and need a slow start the next day.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no nightclub on-site, Coombe Abbey hosts weekend medieval banquets complete with entertainment, making it a fun alternative to traditional nightlife. Coventry’s pubs and bars are just a short drive away, and the serene bar at the hotel is great for winding down with a glass of wine or local ale.

Areas for Improvement

The check-out time of 10:30 AM might feel a bit early after a late-night gig, so plan to snooze that alarm or ask for a late check-out if available. Also, parking comes at a small extra charge, so factor that into your budget.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking to pair your concert with a memorable, storybook stay, Coombe Abbey Hotel offers historic charm and modern comfort just minutes from Coventry’s music scene.
