Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"What a wonderful house!"
It is even better than it looks in the photos. We booked Coombe Place House for a long weekend to celebrate my mother-in-law's 70th birthday. We were 10 adults, 5 children with 2 dogs and the house still felt very spacious.
The owner Louise was very helpful and responsive to our questions before arrival. The house is perfect for a large group celebration, there was everything you could possibly need - loads of crockery, glasses, ice machine, pots/pans and vases of every shape and size! Really lovely welcome pack left for us as well.
The gardens are beautiful and the view across the fields from the terrace is so peaceful. The hot tub was very much enjoyed.
It's a 10/15 minute walk into the nearby village and we'd recommend the pub by the river - delicious pizza!
It was a wonderful weekend and we're already looking for an excuse to go back!
Hello,
What a lovely review!
We are so happy you had a great weekend and enjoyed the house for such a special milestone.
We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

"We absolutely loved our stay at Coombe Place House."
It was in a beautiful part of the countryside. We stayed for Xmas and before we arrived I was worried it would not have all the amenities to make a great Xmas but I need not of worried. It’s a really spacious and comfortable home it had everything we needed. If I was to give any constructive feedback a bit more instructions on disposing rubbish and recycling also some more outdoor lights. Coombe Place House gave our family one of the best Christmas’s.

"We had a brilliant time in the house, such a wonderful house, so big, bright, well equipped, we were a party of 10, celebrating my wife's 60th birthday, from start to finish we filled the house with laughter, it felt like home, we were all very sad to leave on the Friday morning."
Unfortunately you had a problem with the 2 open fires and therfore we were unable to use the fires, this was sad as we booked the house because of the fires..!! Nobody came back to us to advise what the situation was with the fires, we were happy for the men to come and clean them, but we heard nothing more from you!
Never the less the house was still wonderful and we would love to return for anothe happy stay!

Dear Barry,
We are so happy to enjoyed the house.
So sorry to hear about the delay in communication regarding the fire. We actually had a rather large birds nest blocking the chimney!
We would recommend communicating directly with us through the app in the first instance so we can respond quickly.
We hope to welcome you all back another time, with the fire fully able to use!
Best wishes,

"From the friendly welcome from the housekeeper, to stepping into the impressive country home, we had the most amazing stay."
The vast property was stylishly appointed, spotlessly clean and perfect for our family group stay. We're already looking for another time we can all get together, to share cosy nights in front of the fire, play board games and enjoy meals around a huge dining table. The location was superb, plenty of walks across the fields, especially to the local pub and the surrounding villages/towns are full of speciality shops and great coffee houses. The hot tub and swing ball tennis were great fun too. The views across the fields and peaceful/no traffic location made this a real gem of a holiday choice. Thank you for excellent communication and this is a highly recommended choice for anyone.

"The house and location were both absolutely incredible."
The house was so clean, well presented and comfortable and had everything we needed (a group of 11 grown ups and kids ranging from 5 - 6 months, as well as a dog!). All the rooms were great sizes and the beds were very comfortable. The living rooms were gorgeous, light and airy. There was so much space to celebrate together and also space to relax.
At night it was so peaceful- no light pollution and just the sound of the owls.
We can't wait to come back - we've been doing these trips for 12 years since we graduated university together and this was our favourite house so far!

"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.
Hello,
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay.
The feedback is so important to us and we will will look into the points mentioned re outside lighting.
We hope to welcome you and your friends again soon.
