Went here to go for a walk with a friend. The whole site is very impressive and was clean and tidy. Stopped in the bird hide and it was very nice and quiet. Had some lunch in the cafe which served good food and was reasonably priced. Overall a very nice day out.

One of the places we visit regularly for summer as a family but because of lockdown the public toilets and play area were unavailable and bbq was prohibited, unfortunately. Its a beautiful scenic park with good play area and a water canal.

A delightful park which really comes into its own when the sun is shining.

With a visitor centre, shop, activity centre & restaurant. There's great facilities to take advantage of.

The park offers a variety of walks of varying lengths, and the views of the House from the waterfront, are picture postcard ready.

Lovely park to visit with the kids. Fair was on when we visited which was great fun. Generally the grounds are kept very clean. Parking is reasonably priced. There is also a GoApe there which is very fun.

Beautiful place. Has a host of cafes and toilets. Go Ape is also situated here along with a host of duck ponds for the kids. Nice wooded walks along with very large flat open grass areas for playing with family and friends. A nice day out for the family. Be aware the car park isn't free, but you can pay via contactless with your card.

A great place to take your dog for a walk during the week. To be avoided at the weekend because nobody who goes there seems to understand the concept of social distancing, even after four months practice.

Although there were a lot of people and initially you had to walk through quite a crowded area, once past that the expanse of Coombe was enough to make a long walk quite secluded. We hadn't been there for a while, so did not know that "go ape" was there. It looked very impressive and everyone who had booked for it seemed to be having a fantastic time, we enjoyed watching their antics from the safety of the ground! Don't think I would be brave enough to try it, but it looked great fun

Coombe is a lovely place but needs an overhaul same as the hotel that needs one too but a lovely place to take a big family in the summer for a picnic and they have built-in bbqs that you can use and dog friendly.

I ve been visiting this place since childhood, and it s one of the best parks in Coventry and Warwickshire.

Expansive and well maintained, it is located adjacent the majestic Coombe Abbey, steeped in its own history.

Cost of parking and food facilities is low, and it always appears to be enjoyed (appropriately!) by the variety of groups that attend.

There are around 15 parking staff in one small car park. Ticket machine broken for over 6 months now. The management would rather hire 15 people to do the same job as one ticket machine. Overpriced poor quality food. ferocious dogs running everywhere intimidating small children. SO you get the picture. A nice walk in the park can turn into a nightmare. Greedy and incompetent management and staff ruined the park.

I had a brilliant time at the Medieval Banquet. They catered for dietary requirements such as vegan and vegetarian food and it was delicious. The entertainment was brilliant and had everyone laughing. The only negative was the drinks were very expensive.

I highly recomend going. I first went to coombe when I was little. Whenever I went to my grandmas she would take me and my family there so this place means alot to me. Its beautiful and its for all age groups. Theres an amazing park and cafe. There is a gift shop and if you go be sure to take birdsead to feed the ducks, pigrons and swans. We had the joys of seeing baby swans this year and I cant wait to go again.

Please note: you do have to pay for parking but you pay by card. You can pay with money but you have to go to the parking machine inside coombe and you scan the parking ticket on the way out.

Highly recommend this park. Well maintained and plenty of space for picnics, great place to spend the whole day.

Plenty of parking spaces and prices are reasonable as it helps keep the park maintained. They accept cash and card.

Toilet facilities provided.

Visitors seem to forget that we are in the middle of a pandemic and not wearing masks when in close contact with other people they don't know, especially in the toilets. Please use a mask when near other people

Only one negative comment. Extortionate prices for ice cream. Taking advantage of people as there is no competition around. I hope a good portion of that profit goes towards the employees salary and not in the owners pocket.

Parking is a bit of a joke... having to queue in the shop because the machines are broken, that's half an hour of the day wasted. It can be forgiven because clearly this is temporary. The park and grounds are beautiful and we'll kept. Perfect day out with family.
