Combe House Hotel
"In extreme cases, we’ve managed to sell a wedding on the back of someone visiting the hotel on a Groupon deal."
"There are several really good reasons why I would always recommend Groupon to other potential businesses looking to work with them. One is they’re a very professional outfit. They’re very supportive, they’re knowledgeable and they build your brand awareness very quickly."
- Gareth Weed, Manager
About Combe House Hotel
Combe House Hotel offers luxury accommodation in the heart of the tranquil Somerset countryside. The postcard picture hotel is comprised of a number of quaint cottages, set against a green, picturesque backdrop. The hotel features 17 rooms, and exudes a rustic country charm throughout. Combe House is also home to a restaurant which, in keeping with the hotel’s aesthetic, serves up rustic and traditional British food. Combe House’s countryside look and location make it an ideal venue for special events such as weddings, which can be catered for by the dedicated staff.
The Challenge
Tucked away in the Quantock Hills, the Combe House Hotel is in a rural location. Getting people to visit in the winter months was their biggest struggle and became their reason to look for a marketing solution.
The Result
Groupon’s extensive database allowed Combe House Hotel to increase footfall during the quieter seasons. Upsell has resulted in room upgrades, restaurant dinner bookings, extra drinks in the bar, and treatments and therapies in the beauty centre – and in extreme cases, a wedding booking! Gareth Weed sees Groupon as a way to promote positive brand awareness for the hotel.
