Coul House, now a hotel, is mentioned in a BBC news story about historic apple varieties. "As well as its part in the raising of Coul Blush apples, the house had an interesting role during World War II. In 1940, it was taken over by the British Army to house Polish troops and serve as a military hospital. The hotel said Norway's royal family were also believed to have stayed at Coul House during their exile."
