Coombeshead Farm in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Beautiful stay. Excellent food and staff. Can’t wait to stay again!

We live locally to Coombeshead & buy our sourdough bread & fresh chicken from the farm. We also enjoy a meal at the farm every now & then. The dedication and care of all of the team shines through in everything they do. The most delicious chicken, wonderful pork & charcuterie & the best sourdough- well done & thank you for taking such good care of the land & your animals 🙏

All the low reviews are whiny and full of it. Take a good book, walk around the farm in the sun, sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and have some of the best dinner and breakfast you will have.

Wonderful place, comfy rooms, and excellent breakfast. Staff are very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable

Absolutely stunning place, and the food completely bowled us over. Only stayed two nights - wish it could have been longer. A great base for exploring Cornwall, and the joy of coming back from a hard day's holidaying to a drink on the farm watching the sun go down cannot be overstated. Wonderful staff, wonderful food, wonderful room, wonderful location. All we've talked about since getting back is making it an annual thing.

A truly wonderful experience : calm location, very well educated and polite staff, amazing cusine. Sitting near the fire and watching our dishes being prepared. Mouthwatering ! A shop is available to purchase local produce. You can visit the site and the rooms. It's all beautiful, simple, elegant. If you are looking for calm, attention and a great culinary experience, don't bother going anywhere else!

If I could give it 10 stars, I would. What a beautiful place with the most amazing food and great service. Everyone is so attentive and kind. The best dinner we had in Cornwall and probably the best bread I had in the UK. Must visit if you are in that part of the country.

Great food, lovely people, good service and really nice place!

It's hard to put this extraordinary experience into words - but try anyway. I have never experienced a more harmonious place like this farm. Enjoyment, relaxation, peace, flora and fauna, landscape - everything is impressive and overwhelming. Actually there should be 3x 5 stars each for accommodation, restaurant and bakery… Anyone who experiences the farm in all its facets and visits all areas on the baking days will be accompanied by this fantastic scent. Without exaggeration: we have never tasted better sourdough bread! A visit to the animals and the garden also helps to understand the wonderful concept and to appreciate the extraordinary dinner even more. Everything that is served comes from our own production and from the farm. These products and foods are combined in a comparatively unspectacular kitchen to create a perfect, multi-course menu. There are also various snacks and an extraordinary selection of drinks. From English bubbles to French wine to homemade kombucha. The ambience, the competence and friendliness of the team, the taste of the food - an experience on all levels. The breakfast was also a dream, as in addition to the sensational bread you were presented with many other homemade delicacies. There is no signal for cell phones (great for those seeking peace and quiet!), but there is fast WiFi. There is also plenty of parking space and, as I said, a lot to discover. I can also only recommend that all restaurant visitors arrive a little earlier than reserved and explore the farm (with a drink or without). This makes the subsequent menu an even more successful experience!

They could not have done anything any better than they did. It was a first class experience. The food is absolutely sensational; it’s a set menu with totally fresh produce. Everything on the menu was special, tasty, just bursting with goodness. I really like the attention to the table setting, with rustic dining plates and cutlery. Service was faultless. This establishment has thought through every fine detail and they deserve all the praise. Will certainly return

We enjoyed a really lovely stay at Coombeshead. Beautiful setting and accommodation, plus the food was truly excellent. Thanks for looking after us!

We had planned a lovely birthday meal for my mum, who had been talking about wanting to visit for a while. Food was delicious and interior was cosy, however we felt that there was a lack of explanation of the dishes when brought to the table and when asked politely our waitress was a little bit abrupt/not that interested to explain the dish’s. There was a lack of table maintenance and there were serval times we had to get up to approach the waitress to ask for more drinks or to simply clear empty glasses from our table. It was a bit of a shame as we felt that this ruined our experience. Unfortunately due to this experience we would not consider attending again.

We love our foodie trips to Coombeshead Farm, the food is creative and delicious - we savour every mouthful - it is a real treat. The service is relaxed, friendly and efficient in a Zen like way. Hats off to the whole team at Coombeshead its a great place and if you are reading this you should book it now it won't disappoint.

What an amazing stay! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, the location was superb and the food at the restaurant was incredible. Probably some of the best meals we've ever had.

We stayed here for 2 nights & it was magical from start to finish. They warn you not to trust the sat nav directions; I can vouch for this unless you want to drive down loads of country lanes, wide enough for just one car & zero passing places! So, please use the directions given on their website, unlike us! On arrival, you are greeted by the friendly staff & shown to your room. We stayed in one of the new rooms, a converted grain store. Lovely huge bathroom & roll top bath plus a walk-in rainforest shower. Comfy but pretty firm super-kingsize bed with quality bedding. They even provide an umbrella & 2 walking poles for anyone who needs such things. NB This is an idyllic rural retreat & there was no TV in our room (presume this is the same throughout.) The guest WIFi is free but can be sluggish if using more than one device. There is a honesty bar in the main farmhouse with a large selection of home-made gins including honeysuckle & Earl Grey. You are free to roam around the farm, seeing the animals & beautiful trees. The ducks & pigs were especially friendly. Your stay includes breakfast. You get home-made yoghurt, fruits, hand-churned Guernsey butter; sublime toasted maltloaf; honey made from the resident bees; home-made jam & fresh juices plus tea & coffee. The hot dishes will again be centred around the farm's produce. We had hogs pudding with home-made tomato sauce then creamed leeks & bacon topped with poached eggs. All served with the phenomenal sour dough bread , freshly made by their bakers each morning. If you want to eat dinner there you have 2 options. Firstly the tasting menu (they also offer a vegetarian version) which costs £80 each not including any drinks, other than table water. If staying more than one night, you probably won't want the same tasting menu again - we opted for a 2 course lighter dinner for £35. Please see my attached photos for the dishes we enjoyed. Everything was so flavoursome & Chef du Patron Tom & his staff were very friendly & happy to explain all ingredients used in the dishes. Anyone with food allergies will be catered for, provided that sufficient advance warning has been given. There is an on-site farm shop where you can buy farm / bakery produce plus items such as ceramic bowls & blankets from other local retailers. They also have an outside seating area & you can have light bites & drinks. All in all, a tranquil, comfy haven for food & animal lovers. Can't wait to return. **July 2022 update** - we went back for a lunch event & then stayed in Room 7 opposite the bakery. This is slightly bigger than our previous Room 6 & the huge, deep stand-alone cast iron bath was great. It also had a great rain shower / wall mounted shower spray. Food was as lovely as before as were the staff. **Nov 2023 update** The cafe is currently not open & the breakfast is now a self-service buffet style. The latter still offers lovely home made pastries (sweet & savoury,) jams, muesli, bread etc plus ham & cheeses. If no-one is manning the shop, then there are honesty sheets upon which you write your taken items & either add them to your room bill / pay in the restaurant.

Excellent for a quiet few days away. Perfect pork chops
