We are back at work after a glorious break with friends and family that included sleeping (a lot) drinking lots of lovely wine, cooking breakfast on the beach, spending time in the pottery, watching films, listening to music, sledging on Dartmoor at dawn, sitting by the fire, cooking (a lot) and reading (loads).

All the courses for this year are on the website except for new one that focuses on pottery and poetry, which we are about to launch…more to follow soon.

If you have contacted us over Christmas I’m working through all the voicemails and emails and getting back to everyone as quick as I can, so do look out for the responses and/or if your query is urgent don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Here’s to welcoming everyone to Coombe this year, very much looking forward to it!
