The politesse and finesse of the service here as in other top-notch Indian hotels is extraordinary. I marveled at the setting up and taking down every morning of little tray tables outside each room door, apparently for the sole purpose of holding your morning selection of newspapers. A routine room-service order for a ham and cheese sandwich produced the room service manager himself, brandishing his name card and explaining the extra touches on my table, such as a small plate of sweets.
So why average? Well, the gym is in the basement and can't help but be a disappointment. And the food is never quite as good as the production values of the presentation demand. For the prices charged, it kind of just averages out, unfortunately.

Mediæval Banquet At Coombe Abbey

In keeping with the era, the only eating impliment was a dagger (knife) so you’d have to get your hands grubby and dig in though everyone did have a bib provided so as to keep food off their fine garments… thankfully there was a spoon by the time dessert came. For those whom took the vegetarian option, they managed to get a fork and spear their vegetables that way. All of which was washed down with ample mead (fermented honey & water, occasionally with herbs and spices) and red wine.
Aside from the food and entertainment, the venue itself is quite fantastic. Coombe Abbey itself dates from 1150 when it was known as “The Abbey of Cumbe”, founded by Cistercian monks. The abbey has enjoyed a rich history and was purchased by Coventry City Council in 1964, with development work in 1992 to transform the abbey into a “No Ordinary” hotel began. It wasn’t until 1993 when Abbeygate, the venue for Coombe Abbey’s award winning Mediæval banquets, opened.

I have traveled to so many countries but have never found a hotel as wonderful as this one. The service was excellent. They do everything to make you feel welcomed. At the breakfast buffet, a nice Indian waiter asked if he could bring me a REAL Indian style breakfast (he must of noted my American choices!). He was so kind and had fun encouraging me to try different dishes. My room was beautiful and had everything I could possibly needed. I would stay there again and again! So elegant and yet I felt so at home!
