The Family Team
Happy to help
We moved to Coombe Mill in December 2020, after over 20 years teaching in Secondary Schools in and around London. We have 3 young children who all love the outdoors. Millie our eldest and twins Sam and Sienna. Coombe Mill is our business, our passion and our hobby and we live on site. This is our home which we love to share with you here on holiday.
If there is anything you need we are happy to help and have a handy intercom from our house to the reception shop. We hope you enjoy all we have to offer here at Coombe Mill and make lasting memories on your holiday.

Meet the family
Farmer Emma
I am genuinely excited to be able to take you around our farm on our tractor rides. As a previous teacher of PE, I hope I can help you to learn more about and interact with all our animals, as well as answering all of your questions. A keen outdoor enthusiast, I enjoy rock climbing, trekking and skiing in the mountains and of course all of the fun the sea has to offer! Don’t hesitate to ask me about the best beaches, special places to walk and sightseeing if you are feeling adventurous.
Anya
Before moving to Coombe Mill, I worked in a Secondary school as an Assistant Head and PE teacher. As our children grew up, I wanted them to appreciate the great outdoors and seaside. I will be in charge of the bookings, marketing and general running of the business and keeping our blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram accounts going. Do jump on board, join the chat and become a part of our life at Coombe Mill. In my spare time, I like to play netball.
Millie
Hi, I am the eldest child in the family. I will occasionally be driving the tractor and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. My favourite animals are the goats, because you can feed them by hand. Outside of the farm I love all sport and play football for Wadebridge and I will be joining a cricket team in the summer.
Sam
Hi, I am the youngest child. My favourite animals are the Guinea pigs, so I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about them. If you have any salad leftovers the Guinea Pigs love these. In my spare time, I go to Gymnastics in Wadebridge and I love playing on the playground at the farm.
Sienna
Hi, I am Sam’s twin sister Sienna and I love all animals. My favourite animals on the farm are the goats, as I love the way they bleat and follow me around. When I am on the farm I love doing the feed run and will answer any questions you have. If you want to hold a chicken let me know as I am a super quick chicken catcher. When I am not on the farm I love to ride horses, dance and do gymnastics. When I am older I want to work with rescued animals.
The Cleaners
Our Cleaning team work from 9am – 3pm on a Saturday to ensure all our properties are spick and span ready for your arrival. They are a lovely local group of ladies, many of whom have been with us for generations and fully understand our properties and your need to find them in tip-top shape. Please say hello to them if you arrive early to explore the grounds and they are still working hard, but please don’t enter the properties to unload while they are working.
