Coombe Abbey Hotel, Binley, Warwickshire
Coombe Abbey is now a spectacular hotel and country park. The Hotel is set on 500 acres of parkland, overlooking a tranquil lake and formal gardens. The Hotel was originally a 12th Century Cistern abbey which has been restored to its original standards. There are tales of ghostly sightings in the surrounding grounds and buildings. These are believed to be spirits of mysterious ghostly monks, and phantom horsemen. Even a mysterious apparition of a Victorian woman has been seen riding her bike on adjacent roads.
Probably one of the most famous tales is that of Abbott Geoffrey, who in 1345 was brutally murdered at the Abbey. The murderer was never caught and some say this led to the downfall of the Abbey. A few visitors have reported seeing a restless spirit in the kitchens and grounds. Then there are the footsteps of a supposed young gipsy girl tip-tapping across the stable cobbles. Some think the tower at Coombe Abbey is haunted by Matilda, a pregnant maid.

This century-old mill is now a Hotel and restaurant, which nestles in a beautiful riverside setting. The Old Mill is mentioned in the Domesday Book. In 1545 it was a working mill that ground corn for one Francis Goodair, a local merchant. The Mill has its own
ghostly lady visitor. According to village legend, the woman drowned as she became trapped beneath the water mill wheel. To this day, it is reported that her ghostly image can sometimes be glimpsed in and around the building.
A very strange item was discovered during excavations of The Old
Mill. A very old mummified cat was found. Was it that of a witch or just a way to keep away the mice? The cat’s remains have supposedly been removed a number of times. Local folklore declares that this will bring bad luck to those who reside in the Mill. Good luck will not return until the cat is returned. Luckily the last attempt to remove the mummy was back in 1999. To sample the delights of this riverside Hotel please check out the link for availability and more information about this Hotel.
